In total contrast to the previous album, this clicks with me from the first minute. I think I'd class this as more synthpop, new wave or darkwave maybe, but Wiki knows all, huh? Anyway, the female vocal is initially strangely flat but not emotionless, with as it goes along a definite undercurrent of warmth detectable at all times. Great keyboard work, though the guitars take over on “Counterpane” when the band rock out in an almost metal vein. Nice. This is all gold so far. Initiate discography download ... stand by ... execute! Yeah, this is fantastic stuff. More, please.
