I:Scintilla - Dying & falling

2011-02-20 / hellium / Reads: 4117

If Trent Reznor was a woman, that is how Nine Inch Nails would sound, in all probability. Luckily, no such thing has happened. The best track on "Dying & Falling" is undoubtedly "Swimmers Can Drown". It is extraordinarily energetic – saturated with electronic and dance beat, complimented by an...

I am truly surprised, obviously in a positive way! I had not had an earlier opportunity to familiarize myself with the work of Alice in Videoland and, frankly speaking, I was not entirely sure what to expect of them. The name of the band really intrigued me as well as...
