5.0 out of 5 stars It will go unnoticed...Pity., May 2, 2005

Aside electronica insiders, this surprisingly great album will go undetected by most as is the case with many albums of the same quality which get yero promotion by the music industry. A sad case really, but that's the way things work in the money-driven and fueled music market.

I said that this album is "surprisingly great" and this might in turn surprise those who know Mount Sims. His debut album was not exactly a dismissable effort. But judging from that debut album, it was hard to expect a follow-up as engaging as this.

"Wild light" is brilliant for so many reasons:

it's melancholic and romantic without being superficial. It's diverse, and its multi-faciality will please those who like goth-electro or anything influenced by Depeche Mode or in general by 80s alternative electronic music. The lyrics are very decent and that is indeed a rare commodity nowadays. It's more compact than its predecessor in that it actually has a basic concept and it doesn't shift from here to there looking for direction. It's dynamic and yet ethereal. And it easily belongs in the essential releases for electronic music in 2005.

4.0 out of 5 stars This is not the expected electroclash trash., May 16, 2006

I completely disliked Mount Sims until I gave this a listen after it being suggested by Solvent. This is not the electroclash trash I expected from Mount Sims after hearing his first tasteless and trashy album.

Way to go Mount Sims. You pulled off a serious, well done, artistic album. Keep it up.

Restless and Ashes are amazing.

With this release it is very clear that Mount Sims has moved in a completely different direction from his last full length CD. This is NOT poppy electro in the same vein as "how we do" or "black sunglasses", but instead it is dark moody music- it is definitely goth influenced at certain points of the album. At the same time this album is no less exciting than Ultra Sex. His sound has just EVOLVED into something different and it is in no way any worse at all. If you listen closely with an open mind you can hear bits and pieces of the style that he had on Ultra Sex. I almost like the new sound better especially on the track "no yellow lines." If you are looking for a happy, poppy electro CD then this is not the one for you. If you do want something that is quality with a definite goth influence then this is exactly what you are looking for.
