Genre/Influences:EBM, body-pop.
Format:
Digital, CD.
Background/Info:
Set up in 2014 by
Maikko Advance (Mind.Area, Human Decay ao) and ‘Flesh Wire’, this German duo
last year released their second album, which also is the first one in five
years. The album was preceded by the EP “No Pain Forever” featuring Armageddon
Dildos.
Content:
The
album takes off with the EP-title song featuring Uwe Kankja on vocals. This
track has something EBM-like, but also reveals an approximate pop style on top.
That’s rather characteristic for the rest of the work. It clearly appears to be
a ‘soft’ EBM approach, which is sometimes accomplished with orchestral
arrangements, but still reveals a more minimal-driven approach. Most of the
songs are sung in English, but you also will get a few German sung tracks.

Just as for the EP I’m not entirely convinced by A.I.
Zero although I have to admit there’s something hiding in the most minimal-like
cuts. “What Did You Say Was The Future For?” reminds me a bit of early Snog
–but in a less accomplished format, and there are a few more songs in that
vein. It has something unique and interesting to move on with.

And here again my comments are comparable to the EP;
there’s no real trace of a climax, some songs sounding less inspired and
missing some cohesion.
Conclusion:
The minimal
approach of the work sounds interesting, but globally speaking this work left
me skeptical.
Best
songs:
“What Did You Say Was The Future For?”, “Das Produkt
Des Jahren”, “Show Them New Beginnings”.
