What can I say? One of my all
time favorite Elektro albums. It's got everything: new stuff, old stuff,
remixes, live stuff. First rate Claus here, folks. If you want to learn
more about the Leaetherstrip style, get this one. If you just want a fantastic
piece of dark, electronic dance music, get this one. If you're not sure,
get this one anyway, as it has what might be my favorite Elektro song of
all time on it (Body Machine Body).
Best Tracks: Crash Flight 232, Japanese Bodies,
Body Machine body (Live)
Claus continues to evolve and
mature. On this album, his past, more aggressive technique meets his more
recent, darkwave sound head on. This ride is a violently emotional one,
and I got more of a personal sense of Claus from this album than from any
other. The sound is newer, cleaner, and rather interesting. The only thing
I wish Claus hadn't done for this particular disc was the 'X-Files Theme'.
It's terrible. Truly. However, the rest of the album is so good that this
particular slip-up can be ingnored and put behind us. Top quality Leaetherstrip
here, boys and girls. Buy it.
Best Tracks: Are We the Sinners?, Face the Fire,
Understand my Torment
