A new EP from Germany's TO AVOID, how long we had to wait for this? After their last full-length album 'Voyage Into The Past' (Dark Wings/SPV) it has taken finally 4 years, until they decided to continue their musically path. Responsible for all musically decisions are GrandT and Marc as expected, while they get still backed up by their management tamb Media. Tamb Media has grown out of their small, but hard working agency Promo-Select, although there are still the same managing protagonists (Jean and the 'Cheffe' Marco Behrens) available. TO AVOID generally continue with their music style, which balances the possibilities between old-school EBM and Dark Electro music. This EP doesn't offer too much drastically changes, there can be simply noted some minor things like a better production. At least this doesn't wonder too much, because this EP acts rather like a collection of the things, which have been started during the last years, while it is quite recognizable, that there hasn't been too much activity as being a producing Electro/Industrial project. Asides the instrumental intro tune 'G.E.T. (German Electronic Terrorists)', there are only 3 really new compositions available, the title-track, 'Lying Eyes', and 'Against The Current', while you won't find an own original version of the last mentioned. The additional tracks 'War Nurse', and 'Do You Know' they have played during their live performances and both got produced for the first time as studio versions upon fan request. Finally there is available a remake 2009-version of their track 'Instrument Of The Death', taken originally from their last album mentioned above. 5 remixes offered by close friendly artists like AMNISTIA (excellent bass line programming on 'Passion And Pain'), NECRO FACILTY, CEPHALGY ('¦ a bit too Hellectro-related arranged to me'¦ intentional?), SECOND DISEASE (how often do they produce remixes'¦?) and STIN SCATZOR are rather well-chosen names, which offer quality re-interpretations. It's good to see bands, which do not have any interest ('¦ and a coin-filled wallet'¦) to search for the global scene-player offering a bland and uninspired work. Let's keep the fingers crossed, that TO AVOID will be able to unite for more activities like gigs and a coming new full-length release, which hopefully continues to follow the unwritten law '100 % Terrorbanana-free'.
