Metroland - Things Will Never Sound The Same Again

Metroland - Things Will Never Sound The Same Again
(2016) Alfa Matrix

This album is supposed to be a thank you to the bands sound engineer and very close friend Louis Zachert (Passenger L), who recently passed away. As a personal tribute, Passengers A and S created a complete new album from scratch, where every song, every note and the featured cd art is their way of saying thank you and goodbye to their close friend and fellow passenger.
As a side note, this is also my favourite Metroland CD so far.

Zombie Girl - Panic Attack EP

Zombie Girl - Panic Attack DDEP
(2015) Alfa Matrix

After a six year hiatus Zombie Girl finally returns with a new release. Sadly there's just two new songs, and a couple of remixes, on this EP. But the main song, "Panik Attack", is really good. I'm curious to see how Renee will manage without Sebastian Komor in the future. This new EP is a promising start! I've always liked the music of mr. Komor, and that includes earlier Zombie Girl releases.

Bruderschaft - Return 2CD

Bruderschaft - Return 2CD
(2013) Alfa Matrix

After ten years of waiting, the first full length release of this massive futurepop all-star charity project is finally released.
Some tracks on this album has been released beforehand. I have enjoyed both "Trigger (Edge Of Dawn Remix)", "Return (Imperative Reaction Remix)" and a single version of "Falling" for a long time. There's also a new version of "Forever", called "Forever 2013", with Tom Shear on vocals, featured here. That leaves just four new songs (as the track "Goodbye" is present in two versions. One Ien Oblique Vocal version and one Colony 5 Vocal version) on disc one. Three if you don't count the The Human League cover "The Things That Dreams Are Made Of". Disc two has 12 remixes of varied quality. If you're just a tiny little bit interested in futurepop, this is the release to get - and to win you over!

VA - Electronic Body Matrix

VA - Electronic Body Matrix 4CD+DD
(2011) Alfa Matrix

This is a massive who's who compilation featuring artists from both past and current EBM scenes.
The 4 CD's feature a total of 72 tracks and the exclusive download card gives you access to 40 more songs.
I'm no big fan of the Alfa Matrix artist roster, but thankfully this compilation includes artists from all big electronic/industrial labels (except for quality labels as Mute, Dependent and Metropolis).
