Editorial Reviews

The Impossibility Of Eroticism In The Suburbs is the debut album from Scottish producer Matthew Aldworth, better known to the underground as Crème De Menthe. This record is dedicated to all the lovers of explicity, BDSM and Electronic Body Music in its revisited existence. "Crack The Burning Whip," "Abduction," "SadomachochistUs" and the already proven hit-single "Plastique" portray the fantasy and the imaginative power of this producer. Lascivious lyrics, metallic drums, and profoundly slithering electropop push Aldworth's subject matter straight to the barrier between acceptance and rejection. Social disobedience combines with dark glitch and throbbing acid bumps, taking the listener on an exhilarating journey exposing the dark underbelly of the 21st century mindset. For a progressive take on power, voyeurism, control, sex, and synthetic clothing, strap yourself in for the Crème de Menthe experience. Disko B. 2006

There are a number of tracks on this album that make it worth the price of purchase. To be honest, I would have purchased it anyhow just for the great album title. However, production on some of the tracks is kind of flat and that means that not ever song grabs my attention.

A real gem of the new electro. Salacious in words, filthy in sound, it's a perfect encapsulation of the ultimate discomfort with our own humanity. "We're Living in the Night" by itself is worth the price of admission.
