Review

"...never really relents for the entire ten tracks." --Vivien Weimar @ SickAmongthePure.com

Product Description

Debut album from Anders Manga, "One Up For The Dying" is an electrifying mixture of several different genres, from darkwave / goth / electronica / and dark dancefloor excursions. All songs presented here are melodic and energetic with a totally unique twist with tracks such as ''Solitary Heaven'' and ''Shiver'' becoming instant DJ favourites while ''We Won't Stay Dead'' is quickly becoming a Goth / Industrial night regular.

3.0 out of 5 stars Anders Manga - One Up For the Dying, April 8, 2008

By	DJ Deathwish (Tucson, AZ) - See all my reviews

I first heard of Anders Manga from myspace, yeah I know, leave me alone. I listened to "Shiver" and then immediately bought the album, that song alone was very impressive. So I got the CD and that "sound" I had heard in Shiver was pretty much throughout the album, ok, so that was his trademark right there. He's darkwave, but it's different from most of the darkwave I have ever heard, it has a bit of an industrial flair to give the music that edge it possesses. So as I listened to the album a few times over, I really did like it, even though some tracks were a bit repetitive. All in all though, the songs were unique enough to make the CD enjoyable. This is a very impressive first release nonetheless. Very good, with room to grow.

4.0 out of 5 stars Best of the lot!, September 14, 2007

As in many releases, very often, the first release from a band is the best! That is the case with this album and Anders Manga! This first album release from Anders set the bar for dark, moody synth pop with a gritty edge. Unfortunately, all of their frequent releases since the first have the same sound and feel! There has been no progression. So if you want the best from Anders, buy this album!
