Album Review

Making a review after getting a debut single just before makes it kindly harder being objective. Although if the first impression was not just even the best. The first look on the tracklist with nevertheless 14 songs was impressive, because none of the single-tracks are to find. So they both are starting within short time with two completely new releases. No sorry, not complete new songs. I’m supposed to find some of the singles on the album and the single-tracks are “just” cover versions. I expected to find something that’s still the same! But after hearing the first tracks I will change my mind. They both are not even getting older men which want to celebrate their heroes of the eighties. All songs are fresh, making fun and being a mix of classic EBM and latest elements of electronic music. Typical rhythm like at ‘Love And Pain’ makes my legs seesaw and inviting me to dance.

Sorry guys I don’t dance at my living room but short and concise beats waiting for you! Lyrics? Yes they got some. A Statement? Maybe. But it’s not a concept album. Every song, most within English lyrics, is just alone. A mix from love and pain or just emotions from the songwriter. But lyrics are mostly not really important at dance music. It’s nice to listen but not important. Changes from clear to cookie voices an interesting method to get the mind of the listeners back to the lyrics, but the percussions and beats are the fundament from everything. If you think oh wow, exciting, could this interesting for me? Yes, it is! Because you will see they both increased with the live drummer at some festivals this year. Some songs are high potential club hits. And even though after more than 25 years EBM it’s not dead yet. It makes fun makes people dance and it is still alive. With new ideas new rhythms and new faces! Best of all songs could be ‘Vorwärts’ or ‘Emotional Man’. But listen, you wouldn’t regret if you like electro and EBM.
