5.0 out of 5 stars
New Ikon incorporates more of an electronic feel., February 17, 1999
This review is from: This Quiet Earth (Audio CD)
Ikon,now reduced to a duo,yes Michael left after the recording of Flowers for...,but don`t let that get you down, for Chris handles the vocals so powerfully and emotionally ,that you don`t even miss Michael`s. The band`s sound is more electronic oriented now,but still retaining the atmospheres of their earlier works. Some influences are clear and more varied now (U2, The Cure,New Order) .There is a limited edition 2cd set out in Europe ,in which they cover U2`s with or without you. Three EP`s , Two entitled Subversion (US Version and European version)and the amazing Ghost in my head EP ,currently #4 in the German indie charts. Unfotunately,right after the release of this album Dino Molinaro left Ikon to Join forces with Michael Aliani(aka Carrodus) in Chiron and Chris has been working with a new bass Player and will tour Europe in May. Well my last words are: THIS ALBUM IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED FOR ANYONE INTO 80`s GOTH AND 90`s DARKWAVE.
