The Mission - Another Fall From Grace

2016-09-29 (News)

"Another Fall From Grace" was produced by Wayne Hussey and Tim Palmer, who already produced the band’s 1986 debut album ‘God’s own Medicine’ and 1990’s ‘Carved in Sand’. The album features guest backing vocals from Gary Numan, Martin Gore (Depeche Mode), Ville Valo (HIM), Julianne Regan (All About Eve) & Evi Vine.
Wayne Hussey: "For me, this new Mission album is the long lost missing link between The Sisters Of Mercy’s First & Last & Always and The Mission’s God’s Own Medicine, both albums of course that I was heavily involved in making. I set out this time with the intention of making an album that sounds like 1985.(…) This is a dark album although I didn’t set out with that intention, it’s just the way things unfolded.(…) And I think that has informed both the music and the lyrics. So much of this was done in isolation - from the world, from my family, from my friends, and even from my band mates. I can’t say it’s an album I enjoyed making but it is an album I needed to make."

Reaper - Babylon Killed The Music

2016-09-28 (News)

Vasi Vallis aka Reaper is back! After the debut album "Hell starts with an H", Reaper return with a true masterpiece, varied and complex, powerful and melancholic! The album is where 80s and 90s melt and the 2000 kicks in. Techno meets New Beat, Industrial meets TBM, 90s meets synth wave colored with 80s influences. 
"Cracking skull" is the "typical" Reaper sound followed by "The sound of IDS" which is another TBM floorfiller! Track three, "Sledge Hammer" comes in more poppy a bit trance like building a bridge to "Farewell", an late 80s influenced New Beat song in the vein of KLF. "We are Reaper", with marching beats and massive vocal samples before the album turns back to it’s club style with "Neophyte". "Footprint" is another musical surprise mostly ambient, chill out style but powerful in it’s sounds and structure. "Aladin killed JFK" is a true retro 90s Trance/Techno track as energetic as most of the album! "Divide the sea" is as charming as Delerium or even Enigma when the album closes with "Silver Love" which could surely also be found on one of the next album releases by Frozen Plasma, Assemblage 23 or VNV Nation, a true synth wave masterpiece. An Album full of diversion, club hits, strong melodies and great ideas!
