Perfect Music



The more I listen to this album the more I realise just how perfect it is. Bass playing almost identical to Peter Hook but with a little more Simon Gallup at times and vocals only slightly less cold than Ian Curtis, but with a slick french accent, sits them nicely along side Coldwave bands such as The Chameleons, And Also The Trees..., Snake Corps and Comsat Angels. The guitar and synth on this album are where the real magic is. The melodies might remind you of Disintegration or even Loveless that just get built upon with layers of just the right synth notes and minimal lead playing until it sounds like the saddest apocalyptic film that was never made. Parallels between Euro Screamo bands can be made constantly through this record especially with songs like the instrumental "First Days of Winter" and "Pictures" that sounds like The Cure covering Raein. There is a link to download it at this blog.
