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.

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!
