5.0 out of 5 stars This CD is truly amazing!!!, March 17, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Morbid Latenight Show (Audio CD)

Bertine's first album, Morbid Latenight Show, is truly amazing. Her loungy 60's pop infused with 90's dance beats and her beautiful voice make this a perfect CD for driving, hanging out, dancing, laying in your room, or whatever!! Unfortunately her US label dropped her after this release. If you get a chance, track down her two follow-up releases Beautiful So Far & Sweet Injections -- these can usually be found on the European Amazon sites. She's also currently working on her fouth album.

Northern Siren - that's what comes to my mind whenever I hear of Bertine Zetlitz. And she's one of my favorite sound sirens to please my ears with her magic. Often ironic, a little sassy, but unceasingly charming and moving - she's all that. Bertine's got everything it takes to be artistically unique and pretty entertaining at the same time. Some compare her to Bjork, which is rather inappropriate, I think. Bertine is definitely not that pretentious and is far more accessible. What's more, she pushes pop music where most of this genre performers would never go; her songs are a perfect mix of pop, trip-hop, chill-out and modern electronica. These are those subtle little details and delightful song arrangements that make you want to play her music over and over again, discovering something different every time.

"Morbid Latenight Show" is Bertine's debut album from 1998 (she's released four albums so far!). Although it's been seven years from its release, "MLS" sounds surprisingly fresh and original. It's a climatic piece of sophisticated music, perfect for Autumn/Winter evenings. The album is the first time, Bertine invites you into her fascinating/sensual/weird/introvert world, and she does it in a wonderfully seductive way. Will you let her posses your mind or will you stay resistant to her spell? It's up to you. "Morbid Latenight Show" is definitely a worthwhile debut.

It's such a pitty Amazon doesn't offer the rest of Bertine Zetlitz's discography. Whatever, I'd love to recommend you the following Bertine cd's:

* "Beautiful So Far" - a great 2000 follow-up album, it may stick in your cd player even longer than a debut cd. It's more fun, uplifting and beat-driven. There's a little feel of 70's music to it.

* "Sweet Injections" (2003) - Bertine's best release to date. It's really hard to express its brilliance. Top notch electronica, breathtaking orchestral parts, best vocals and lyrics. Flawless album and one of my favorites. If well promoted, could've been an international sensation. Love it so much.

* "Rollerskating" (2004) - it's totally fun, crazy and funky. I can imagine Bertine say "Let's have some fun and see what happens". And what happened is just great. Back is the 70's feel to the music, but the electronical arrangements are very simplistic, which stands for the album being a concept one. Very interesting cd.


Make yourself a sonic pleasure and dive into Bertine's unusual world. Once you try it, you won't leave it for a long time.
