I saw These guys live in MPLs last year and it was wonderful!!! The energy of the music is really conveyed on this CD. More club sounding than his other stuff. His other CDS are good but I like this one the best!! He is able to make his music poppy yet bring the bring the club beat!! makes you just wanna get up and dance!

As in the case by buying random synthpop on the strength of a single or two, you usually get let down by the rest of the album. i.e. the single is dance/club oriented and then you buy the album to find out the singles don't represent the album and all the others songs are mellow and boring. This CD actually lives up to the singles, Maria calling etc. and presents you with strong songs throughout. I think there is at least 3 songs on this cd that could be released as singles. I haven't heard there latest single, so I can't tell if it's worth getting on the strength of the remixes. This cd is a lot better then most recent synthpop releases. Although this is a group you may not have heard from before, if you like PET SHOP BOYS i.e. dancy and melodic club songs, then you should like this cd.

I've been a big fan of Moulin Noir for a few years now. His cd's were difficult to get until A Different Drum came along and started carrying them. This release is older material re-mixed into more of a "club" atmosphere and includes some GREAT new tracks. This guy has a great voice with an incredible range. The music fits well in the new romantic vein of the early 80's, but carries more of a modern edge. Highly recommended for fans of gary numan, john foxx, ultravox...and I'm sure you know the rest. If you haven't heard his music yet, this is a great place to start.

at 76:53 long, this is a packed cd. this cd is a collection of old and new moulin noir selections remixed, remastered. some of the older songs that didn't do alot for me in the past, were remixed in a way that made my eyebrows rise. dj ram does a killer version of "The White Room" to open up this great cd. this cd contains songs remixed by dj ram, the nine, shades of grey, kaj, and mr Todd Durrant from a different drum. all of these groups/people are staples in the synthpop world. they have each added their own style to these tracks. a concept album this is not. it is however a great collection of great songs from an artist that given the right timing would be very big in the market. comparison wise. some has an early gary numan feel to them, while others almost sound like assemblage 23 with the deep voice. check it out for yourself. you won't be let down.

i love the cd, i hope you do too.

I am a synthpop fan but this album just doesn't work for me personally. It's very inconsistent, especially the vocal. I am not saying the whole album is worthless, there are some good songs too such as "Spellbound" & "The White Room." But that's it!! One may experiment with the music, but they definitely need more consistency in creating a sound album. A couple of okay songs don't do any justice at all. Maybe what they need is a great producer to work with..... so they can bring themselves up to the next level. At this state, it's simply POOR. TOO BAD. Peace!!
