Fractal Age – Energy & Entropy (Digital/CD Album – Scanner / Dark Dimensions)
Jens Minor (known from Chainreactor) and vocalist Sascha Tümmler return with their fourth album under the Fractal Age name.
As with their previous release, they remain rooted in Electro-Pop and Future-Pop, occasionally enhanced with EBM elements. The result is a powerful production, with some tracks especially shining through their energetic choruses. A prime example is the well-known track “Tremors,” which stands out as a strong, dancefloor-ready number. The album also offers several other solid songs.
In my opinion, this is without a doubt Fractal Age’s strongest work to date. The production has significantly improved across the board, delivering a perfect balance between quieter, beautifully composed tracks and driving, danceable anthems. (Rating:8).

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.
