5.0 out of 5 stars
Terrific synthpop,
This review is from: Monumentum (Audio CD)
I have always wanted to check out Frozen Plasma's music but I either never got around to ordering online or finding their music in stores. When I saw that they had a new album coming out a couple of months ago, I decided to pre-order a copy from Metropolis Records. I am glad I did. I have been listening to their new album MONUMENTUM for over a week now. As a fan of synthpop, Frozen Plasma's music definitely quenched my thirst for new music in that particular genre. I really liked how the music gradually builds up from the first track "Open" which is a beautiful instrumental. The melodies through out the entire album are pure ear candy to my ears. The songs are incredibly infectious. The majority of the songs have a good solid dance beat. I do like how the cd opens and closes with an instrumental track. I really can't describe Felix Marc's vocals. His vocals are very enjoyable to listen to. I could not find one song on the entire album I did not like. I enjoy listening to all of the songs. MONUMENTUM definitely made me a fan of Frozen Plasma.

This review is from: Monumentum (Audio CD)
Het Duitse duo Vasi Vallis (voorheen NamNamBulu en VNV Nation) en Felix Marc (Diorama) startten 4 jaar geleden de synthpopband Frozen Plasma . Na hun debuutalbum Artificial (2006) en diverse singles is Monumentum het langverwachte vervolgalbum. Maatschappijkritische, op de dood en verlossing (The End-Deliverance), revolutie (Tanz die Revolution) en het verontrustende levenstempo van veel mensen (Speed of Light) gerichte teksten, zware synthpop, darkwave, maar zeker dance club vriendelijke muziek, kenmerken Frozen Plasma. Tanz die Revolution is Duitstalig, de andere songs Engelstalig, waarmee de deur naar Britse en Amerikaanse clubs open staat. Dark rock music scenes zullen in hun nopjes zijn met de stampende beats en grauwe teksten als "I used to travel through space and time. No harm. No villains to be feared. Until I stepped into your world." Earthung en de ballad Almond Flowers staan bol van de melancholiek, Murderous Trap het heimelijke verliefd zijn op een veel te jong meisje ("A seductive but forbidden sin."). De rustieke instrumental Forgotten Earth doen je wegdromen: mooie landschappen, kabbelend water en voorbijtrekkende wolkenpartijen. Het album sluit af met de extended mix van Speed of Life en Close, letterlijk een finale van een fraaie CD. De heren touren de komende maanden met VNV Nation om Monumentum te promoten.
