Album Review
When a band has such a pompous name as this one the disaster is certain to come with a big smile on her face. You might expect something grand, genre changing or, at least, something interesting. What is to be found here is neither cold nor warm. Nice but then again not that nice; in short it is unmemorable. ‘Rewind The Time’ starts with pretty much the same notes of ALPHAVILLE’s ‘Victory Of Love’ and then it goes to some future pop dance music. What can I say? These guys had a tremendous quarrel with catchiness and they took with them the leftovers. ‘City Of Glass’ sounds a bit better, if you can stand the electric violin and the upbeat sounds. The best moments here are the last two songs; the remix of ‘Rewind The Time’ by HEIMATAERDE, a remix that adds some futuristic soundscapes making it a pleasure to hear. And the Hardfloor mix of ‘City Of Glass’ which adds an edgy and dance element to the original song (they also kept the specific freaky violin sound). As long as the band keeps swimming in the safe waters of the uninspired pop the results will be something like that; boring. I hope that they will follow a different one.
