Mirrors - Lights And Offerings

Mirrors - Lights And Offerings
(2011) Skint Records

This is a both retro and modern sounding electronic album with lots of analogue synthezisers. The album cover suggests it's going to sound like Kraftwerk, but I don't really think they do. Sure, you can hear the influences but I think the songs sounds more like an electronic version of post rock.

I love EP's! And this is Ikon's best EP, although they've made quite a few.
All exclusive tracks from Ikon's post "This Quiet Earth"-era. Don't forget to check out the "Reality Is Lost 1999" EP as well. This is probably my favourite part of Ikon's discography!

Ikon - In The Shadow Of The Angel

Ikon - In The Shadow Of The Angel
(1994) Apollyon

Ikon's debut album "In The Shadow Of The Angel" is one of my all time favourite goth albums. The list of awesome songs never seems to end; "Condemnation", "Lord Of Darkness", "Secrets Within", "Fall Apart", "Hallowed Ground", "Black Roses" and "Love Is Colder Than Death" are all classics in my book! This album is soon going to be re-released as a remaster with a bonus disc. I can't wait!

Maybe I should listen a bit more to this CD before deciding I like it a lot?
There's always a chance I will lose interest in a record. And I think, maybe, that there's a strong chance I will stop to like this CD soon. But for now it's perfect. Nice post-rock, alternative rock or whatever you will call it. Much better than their previous album!

A taste of this years artist roster of Dependent records. The only thing this record's missing is some Mind.In.A.Box updates. Otherwise it has it all; A great new song from Encephalon, a new Stromkern song, some cool remixes and the excellent Urcerous Exit remix of Edge Of Dawn's "All The Time" previously only available as download. If I'm correct this record should be sold as mid-price, so there's really no excuse not picking this up!

Underworld - Dubnobasswithmyheadman

Underworld - Dubnobasswithmyheadman
(1993) V2

Apparently this is Underworlds third album. I always though this was their debute. It doesn't really matter because this the two earlier albums are supposed to be some sort of synthpop, and I'm not too fond of that genre. I have some more Underworld albums like "Second Toughest In The Infants",
"Beaucoup Fish" and "Oblivion With Bells" but this is their masterpiece!

Ghost & Writer - Shipwrecks

Ghost And Writer - Shipwrecks (2011)
Dependent

This is Frank M. Spinath's (Seabound, Edge Of Dawn) third active band. I don't know how he finds time for all those projects. The songs "Hitman" and "From Hell" have been around some time now. They we're first released on the "Fourplay" compilation back in 2006. And the song "Capsized" was released on last years Edge Of Dawn album "Anything That Gets You ThroughThe Night". This is a peculiar album containing 8 songs plus 8 remixes. In other words, if you buy this album you'll also get a free remix-album!
