(2012) skyQode

Wow! This must be THE futurepop album of 2012! Just like the Paralell Project CD "Fusion", this album is written by a single mastermind, in this case Alex Mental, but the vocals are sung by different artists. The 2011 EP "Falling Stars" had somewhat prepared me for a great follow up album, but not quite to this extent. Standout tracks are the Felix Marc sung "Fall To Pieces", "Disguise (Feat. Culture Kültur)" and "My Madhouse (Feat. Carved Souls)". The Paralell Project CD was very dynamic, holding different kind of songs and both male and female vocalists. This album, on the other hand, is only about club smashers. It's packed with potential futurepop hits! Note that the CD version holds an exclusive bonus track, not available on the download version. Get both versions on Bandcamp!

In the beginning of January this year I wrote that I hadn't bought this record yet, although I thought it was great. And I was right. I really like Culture Kultür's take on futurepop. I think this album is even better, as an album, than "Reborn". But "Reborn" has the better songs. Get both those records now!

Out Of Line

I haven't bought the new Culture Kultür album "Spirit" yet. Even though I think I will like it. I'm in futurepop mode right now, but I don't know what to listen to. I'm fed up with VNV Nation and Apoptygma Berzerk and stuff like that. I'm even bored of Rotersand and Frozen Plasma. Recently I've been listening a lot to Angels & Agony. The only problem is that they're not as good as the before mentioned bands. The same goes for Culture Kultür - they're simply not as good as I want them to be. But the biggest problem with this album are all the (too) obvious thefts from Apoptygma Berzerk. I can't understan what they were thinking?
