After first hearing about namnambulu and listening to "Distances" I was hooked on their sound.I have not heard a song I have not liked yet.EXPANSION is another one of those.It is only a ep so being only 6 tracks and a few remixes making it 11 total.Faces is a good song strong in melody and vocals.Game is another great song as is forgiving which is a duet with sitd.The remixes are very dancey and club worthy.Namnambulu is futurepop at its best,If you love vnv nation,assemblage 23 or apoptygma berserk this ep should be part of your collection.

I'm new to this genre and love this group..I ended up buying all their albums. Also like Frozen Plasma. Great Vocals which is usually a problems with these electronic bands. Voice sounds a little like Martin Gore of Depeche Mode. Songs are also well written. I just discovered this group a few months ago after just looking for something different than New Order, Depeche Mode, etc.

The 'Expansion' album by Namnambulu is one album that I cannot say enough about. The exotic sound cuts into me with a sense of emotionalism and energy. The lyrics are facinating dealing with feelings and thoughts. Pop tarts looking to shake their Jenny Craig challenged rumps to moronic crude words and over repititious beats may not want this in their collection. Namnambulu is unique, a Swiss duo who sing in English, and yet they almost have an Eastern sound to them. Check this album out, it's as good as 'Distances', if not better.
