Genre/Influences: Electro-pop.
Background/Info:
Two years after their
successful debut album “Course Of Life”, the German Analogue-X trio is back on
track unleashing this new opus featuring 13 new cuts.
Content:
The sound and influences
haven’t that much changed. “Course Of Life” and “Imaginary” both reveal an
explicit electro-pop sound, which might remind to Depeche Mode. The debut full
length was also inspired by dance-pop music while this one just revealed a few
little elements, but nothing more. From melancholic tunes to choruses
accomplished with cold leads, “Imaginary” might appeal for De/Vision fans.
+ + + :
This is a ‘classical’
electro-pop work, which is carried by melancholic passages, noticeable melody
lines and a crystal-clear sound production. “The Time Of Darkness” is one of
the high lights for its elevating sensation. The main aspect of the work I
especially like consists of the cold leads and I here especially refer to “Lost
In Time”.
– – – :
This work is an easy
listening album, but I’m missing some passion. I once again miss it in the
vocals’ production, but now also in the song writing. It’s too much predictable
and feels like the band switched on the automatic pilot.
Conclusion:
The ideas are good
enough, but unfortunately not enough to get a successful album. The debut album
definitely was more convincing. This band can do better!
Best songs:
“The Time Of Darkness”,
“Angel Of Light”, “Stage Of Life”.
