Album released in 2011 shows a high level of dark wave that sound sometimes just like Joy Division or The Cure. The sensitive ear can also feel the deep influence of Ordo Rosarius Equilibrio, Spiritual Front and vocals that reminds of Brian Molko (Placebo).

Depressive lyrics and flowing etudes will absorb every single genre's lover. Instrumental sections are the characteristic style of Italian composition. Violins screams in agony between keyboard and massive drums.
"Best Porno" is in my opinion a brillant composition with warm, smooth tones and deep, sad voice. "Berlin", "Bleeding thought" and "No paint on the wall" are specific complementary tracks. They give a completly new meaningto the whole LP. Melancholy. Depression. Sorrow. "Everybody has someone to hate" is a song different that the others. It has especially caught my attention. Despite the similar structure, it stands in opossition to the quiet songs. Strong guitars, violins ang cheerful voice can almost put the listener in some kind of mystical state during this audiophile feast of minds.
Unfortunately nothinh is as pink as it seems to be – "Ethon II" is a horrible composition that destroys all the just builded mood. It's an unnecessary addition just to fill-in some minutes in the LP. Thank god few minuts later comes "The girl who dances alone in the disco" – a powerful, psychodelic track that'll put lot of people straight to the dancefloor. The energy that radiates from the song inspires thoughts of helplessness and forces memories to all who will understand its true meanning.

With all the pleasure I must admit thath "No paint on the wall" by Spiral69 is a successful composition of obscure songs that will stay in memory of every listener for a long time. I hight recommend the LP to the fans of ritual sound with a little of agonal violin screams. Wonderful fill-ins concentrate the listeners attention in hipnotic trance with the delicate sounds of guitars.
