3.0 out of 5 stars Not so bad..., June 7, 2004

By	SkylightGlare (Toronto, Ontario) - See all my reviews

Well, I've had a chance to listen to the CD and I must say that I have to agree with the last reviewer who reviewed the album. It sounds almost exactly like Icon of Coil, but I've noticed in some songs it sounds exactly like Spektralized. Either way, to me it sounds like a Various Artists CD that only contains Spektralized and Icon of Coil. Seriously, it really does...to me. However, if you're a fan of both bands, than you'll like it. I'm sure of it. Though, I can't deny that I liked the album. Just so at least I know that it's not always Andy from IOC singing in a similar background of music.

3.0 out of 5 stars Nothing new, but overall a good album, June 2, 2004

By	Brian McCombs (Springfield Ohio) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Let me start by saying I've been a fan of Metropolis Records for many years now. I was looking for some new music and picked this album up the other day. This project features Sebastian Komor from Icon of Coil, and Richard Bjorklund of Spektralized. I've never really listened to either of the original bands, so I didn't know what to expect. After listening, I was impressed. They haven't done anything new sound wise, but the combination of modern synthpop, and EBM sounds great. The vocals sound very much like Depeche Mode meets Apoptygma Berzerk, VNV Nation, etc; If you're looking for something that sounds 1985ish mixed with modern EBM, then you should enjoy this album.

4.0 out of 5 stars Deserves recognition!, August 3, 2005

By	ebmAddikt (Portland Oregon) - See all my reviews

Monofader is a collaboration effort between Sebastian Komor (Icon of Coil) and Richard Bjoerklund (Spektralized). Frost has a dark synth-pop vibe, but yet an agressive groove. I would say it's a little on the gothier side. Mimic and Scars, more anthem-like, are probably my favorite tracks, but there are plenty of other catchy songs that are a nice blend of Darkwave, Futurepop and EBM. The album is a mixed bag of slow and upbeat tunes. Random thought: I hear a definite Cabaret Voltair influence.

If you like synthpop or futurepop, you should probably add Frost to your collection. EBM fans may like as well, but I suggest you take a test listen first.

Cheers!
