Album Review
Every now and then, a record comes along that catches you completely and is an absolute pleasure for your ears and your sound system. KANT KINO - not any more an insider tip - made one of those records. Alfa Matrix’ new Norwegian discovery is ready to deliver their debut album, ‘We Are Kant Kino - You Are Not’. I’m very glad to announce this album because they made me a fan a “long” time ago, with publishing some fantastic songs on their MySpace site.
Named after a SIMPLE MINDS tune and a Berlin theatre, KANT KINO paint soundscapes based on interpretations of observed themes in everyday life, from philosophy to reality, from happiness to disaster. KANT KINO offers electronic body music with distorted vocals and a strong sense for melody. A fresh combination of modern electronics with classic EBM - this album sets apart from the others. It is diversified, has got profound lyrics and is produced in a superb way. This album version is also released as a deluxe carton box edition with the exclusive 14-track bonus album ‘We Are Kant Kino - You Are Too’ featuring 13 remixes, with a huge variety of styles. On this remix album KANT KINO’s tracks have been manipulated almost into completely new tunes. The remixes were provided by LEAETHER STRIP, IMPLANT, IONIC VISION and AMGOD. Just to name some examples.
Cherry on the cake: a bonus 14th track, a cover of NITZER EBB’s ‘Control I’m Here’... If you’re going to order KANT KINO’s debut - I would advise to buy the deluxe edition. I intended to highlight some songs, but copying the track list isn’t necessary. I’m not wondering that KANT KINO took place in the German alternative charts this week. This is a debut worth listening too and a band worth looking out for in the future.
