Audiocall – A Different Wolrd (Digital/CD Album – Scanner / Dark Dimensions)
On December ‘25, the German trio Audiocall released their second album. Following their promising debut, “Know Your Murderer”, the band drew inspiration from the challenges of our time to create “A Different World”.
The ten tracks connect seamlessly with their previous opus while taking listeners further along their Electro-Pop path. At the same time, the songs broaden their sonic palette, incorporating additional influences. At moments, the sound leans toward Indie-Pop, while other tracks reveal a stronger Body-Pop edge. The album features several beautifully crafted, more restrained songs, as well as energetic and highly danceable pieces. Although it remains primarily rooted in Electronic composition, the addition of guitar play lends certain tracks a distinctive Indie touch.
With this new release, Audiocall reaffirms the considerable potential they possess—potential that now awaits further exploration and development. (Rating:7½).

I have been working for over 30 years with Side-line as the main reviewer. My taste is eclectic, uncoventional and I prefer to look for the pearls, even if the bands are completely unknown, thus staying loyal to the Side-Line philosophy of nurturing new talents.
Since you’re here …
… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
