Genre/Influences:
Electro-pop.
Background/Info:
I
personally consider Thorsten Krüger and Matthias Grod as one of the most
promising electro-pop formations in the past few years. After an astonishing
debut album (cf. “Now”) and the cool second opus (cf. “Circuits”) it took three
years to the German formation to achieve this new work.
Content:
The
global sound production and influences haven’t really changed. Pos.:2 stands
for ‘classical’ electro-pop music evoking some good-old souvenirs. The melodic-
and danceable side of the work vaguely reminds me of Second Decay, which I
still consider as a reference in the genre. The songs have been masterfully
achieved. The previous album was missing some potential hits while the new work
reveals a few great songs. “Electropop” is one of them, which clearly sounds as
a reworked version from their early ‘hit’ “Only Electropop”. The main part of
the vocals is in German, but you’ll also notice a few English passages.

This album brings a perfect twist between danceable- and classical electro-pop. The songs have been masterfully
crafted and especially the melodic passages will catch the attention. This is
an aspect reminding me a bit to Second Decay. This is synth-pop music that will
appeal to lovers of German electro-pop from the 90s.

Pos.:2 doesn’t really innovate, but do they really have to? The result
is a deeply entertaining electro-pop work.
Conclusion:
This
new opus was worth the wait and again confirms the talent of this duo. They
definitely deserve a bit more recognition!
Best
songs:
“Kein Weg”, “Alleine”, “Electropop”, “Gib Mir Noch Zeit”, “Illusions Of
Love”.
