Delerium - Nuages du monde

2007-01-25 / apeiron / Reads: 5569

Almost a decade after the great "Karma" Rhys Fulber & Bill Leeb release another album similar to "Chimera" (2003). We're getting less and less of the old Delerium. "Nuages du monde" is a pleasant listening, being charmingly trance-ambient. But it does not carry you. It lacks the atmosphere...

Seabound - Double-Crosser

I've listened to the sounds of the recent album of Seabound "Double-Crosser" with a real pleasure. First of all because its quality isn't lower than the previous publishings of the German band, secondly because it has a great emotional load.

"Bodypop" by And One is kind of like "Music for the Masses" by Depeche Mode. Atmosphere-changing, musically diverse, melodic. And very good. Although orthodox fans may feel a bit dissapointed.

Flux - Electric woman

After I've listened to the single 'Electric Woman" of the Scandinavian band Flux I've already new it's the worst album I've ever heard. Every next remix of the track "Electric Woman" proves nothing can be done with a bad song. There is also a video clip included on the album...

Flux - Protected

"Protected" was the second single of the Scandinavian band Flux that I got in my hands. Despite my reservations it appeared to be better than "Electric woman". It won't hurt to listen to it, it may even be interesting at times, mostly thanks to the female vocal that adds to...
