Following the success of "Insomnia Theatre" and "Unveiling the Secret", Psyche turned to a classic wave sound on their third and most polished album, "Mystery Hotel". While the industrial influence heard on earlier material is less pronounced, "Mystery Hotel" is in many ways the darkest Psyche album. The demons are alive on tracks like "Wake the Flood Unconscious", "Nocturnal Passenger" and "The Outsider", and even poppier numbers like "Eternal" and "Insatiable" are, at their core, still melancholia at its finest. But the tone of this record, and the key to its brilliant longevity, is the blues influence which is sometimes hidden but sometimes, like on the opener "Make No Mistake". "Insatiable" is an earworm. And then there's the brooding, dense marshland that is "The Outsider", a synthpop track that borders on psychedelia and shimmers with a brilliance that is possibly unmatched in the Psyche catalogue.
