VNV Nation - Transnational

VNV Nation - Transnational (2013)
Anachron Sounds

I've hit a futurepop streak! Last week there was a new Covenant album, the week before that a new Cryo EP (well, that one wasn't maybe futurepop? - but the KLF samples were!), the new Pride And Fall album a week further back and now the masters are back.
I really like this new VNV Nation album. Sure, there's far too many instrumentals (3!) and not as much of the hard, angry'ish club stompers I love them for. But sometimes a happy, uplifting album filled with VNV Nation's familiar anthemic post-"Empires" sound is all my ears need! Instant buy!

Now, this is a band that should've disbanded the album format years ago. VNV Nation has always been one of my absolute favourite bands, but since "Empires" back in 1999 thay haven't done a great job with their albums. Sure, there's always about 3-4 songs on the albums that I really love - but why all the fillers? They should release EP's instead! The stand out track for me this time is "Streamline", but I also like "Space & Time", "Resolution" and "Gratitude". Check it out if you like VNV's sound, the album sounds exactly like their two previous albums.
