Rina Pavar – Six (Digital/CD/Vinyl Album – Cold Transmission Music)
“Six” is the second album by German artist Rina Pavar. Released earlier this year, it features nine songs revolving around memories, visions, and encounters.
With this release, the artist further refines the style and musical signature introduced on her debut. She delivers a minimalist form of Electro-Wave, saturated with dark atmospheres and her sterile yet sensual vocals. The songs clearly bear an ‘80s influence, highlighted by various vintage sound constructions and effects. Rina Pavar doesn’t get lost in unnecessary details or overly complex structures; instead, she reveals a subtlety through isolated sounds and carefully executed arrangements. Perhaps the only drawback is that the album contains only nine tracks.
Rina Pavar confirms the potential shown on her debut and returns with a strong successor. (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.
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.
