New year and new low price double compilation of Black Rain, NoiTekk, Ars Musica Difundere, Funk Welten and Fire Zone rosters. Presenting a total of 28 bands/tracks (with many anticipations coming from the upcoming releases) the CDs span from the particular goth electro folk of Dandelion Wine followed by the romantic wave of Rise And Fall Of A Decade (Black Rain is reissuing the remaining albums of the band), the new folk of Novalis Deux, the goth e.b.m. of Killing Ophelia, the metal goth of The Pussybats and Jesus & The Gurus just to relax the atmosphere with Reliquary and the Nordic melodies of Narsilion. Wave folk is here presented by Onix Eyes while Brillig are here with "Escher", picked from their MCD "The plagiarist" (already reviewed here). Atomic Neon with their classic goth present "Mein kleid" while Die Perlen (reviewed here recently) revive the atmosphere with their electro punk with a track coming from their latest album. Aslan Faction are here with "Bring on the dying" coming from the forthcoming re-release of their "Blunt force trauma" album and OTX close the first CD with a cinematic electronic ambient track coming from the album "A world in red". The second CD, the one dedicated to electro/e.b.m. sounds, opens with the energetic distorted electro of Jabberwock just to follow with the upbeat e.b.m. of Derma-Tek. C-Drone's "Morituri te salutant" make the audience have a sneak peak on their forthcoming album with a convincing (but not innovative) bouncing e.b.m. track where distortion and melodies are well balanced (it isn't the usual "Sturm und drang" approach). IWR are here with "Ketamine sedation" coming from their latest album here reviewed months ago. Distorted Memory's "Disciples of the watch" is a classic e.b.m. mid tempo while Prospective's "Deadly sins" combine romantic goth female vocals with punching e.b.m. sounds. Dym's "Autonomy of the will" is coming from their upcoming album and make us know that distorted upbeat e.b.m. is still in the make. Tyske Ludder present "Thetanen" from their good "Scientific technology" MCD (this is the kind of e.b.m. that I like). Feindflug new track "Ersatzteil" is coming from their new album and it didn't differ that much from their usual martial e.b.m. Dawn Of Ashes bring me memories of the old Velvet Acid Christ sound with their "Torture device" while FGFC820 with "Killing fields (battle of nations mix)" are making us have an appetizer from their next album but I had enough of dancey distorted e.b.m. so I skip to Vigilante's "Fire" coming from their latest album already reviewed here. The Panic Lift's "Failsafe" is coming from their next album but it sounds like thousand other hellektro tracks so I let Xentrifuge close the second CD with "Light extinguished" which unfortunately sounds just like the previous track.
