My god. So good. It's records like this that remind me that there really is a virtually infinite amount of stellar music in existence -- there's always more to be found. So, what we have here is some top-shelf German new wave/synthpop. It's bouncy, and at times it's psychotically peppy, but these moments are counterbalanced by some mid-paced, more outright sinister-sounding material, quirky, spoken-sung vocals, and more than a few shades of krautrock. Any fan of synth-y new wave will not be disappoint.

This is...simply fantastic. Raises a smile in a week where we could all do with one.
ReplyDeleteMusic blogging at its absolute best here - can't imagine coming across a record like this in any other way. And something like this coming hot on the heels of a black metal posting? classic Opium Hum!
Thank you!

ReplyDeleteThank you for this album (AND many others, too)!
ReplyDeleteIt made my think of the French mademoiselle, LIO (look for her 1980 'Amoureux Solitaires', hit single in Western Europe).
Keep on the good job 👍
