Another great album from Sturm Café, their strongest and most consistent album to date, classic old school EBM with killer retro synth hooks, great music and strong vocals, even hints of Elegant Machinery on this album which is a good thing too. flindersia
While these are good remixes, they are ironically stripped down to usual EBM trappings. It lacks a LOT of wild experimentation with arrangements, bombastic use of high dynamic range capabilities and Mariana trench's deep use of sequencers which made Front 242 a Sistine Chapel of the genre.
Nevertheless, it's an enjoyable EBM Fix ►For You◀
I do appreciate visceral energy on certain songs which added another layer to the originals.
