PULCHER FEMINA - DARKNESS PREVAILS - CD

val — Wed, 21 Apr 2010 02:11:13 +0000

Dark Wave/ Synth pop/ EBM

“Often, this is how I perceive the world around me.
In the absence of light, darkness prevails. An age isn’t called ‘dark’ because the light fails to shine, it’s because people refuse to see it. But beneath the anger, there’s the sorrow, and beneath the sorrow, there’s love. In these songs, you may find words of anger, of sorrow, and of love. It depends on how much light you are missing.”
“My intention with Darkness Prevails is to give you food for your ‘inside’ when it’s needed.”
Roberto Conforti

Darkness Prevails has been recorded in Rome at Ghostrack Studio
Produced & arranged by Roberto Conforti
Mixed in Athens by George Priniotakis at Artracks Recording Studios
Mastered in Germany by Tim Schuldt @ 4cn-studios

ROBYN HITCHCOCK called Paul Roland ‘the male Kate Bush’. Others compare this eccentric Englishman to Syd Barrett and Marc Bolan while UK fanzine ‘Bucketful of Brains’ remarked, ‘Genius at play! If Shakespeare, Edgar Allen Poe and Conan Doyle were alive today they’d surely have some Roland in their record collections. Unfortunately, they’re dead. What’s your excuse?

NEXUS - THE BEAT SYNDICATE - CD

val — Wed, 21 Apr 2010 02:04:42 +0000

NEXUS - THE BEAT SYNDICATE:The fourth album of the top Greek band NEXUS, “The Beat Syndicate” is their most complete musical statement. Intelligent and imaginative, highly atmospheric, steeped in mist and melancholy, but most of all, full of driving dance music “The Beat Syndicate” is the group’s masterpiece. After three albums of gothic-industrial madness, NEXUS returns with an album that shines so brightly and colourfully - a true kick in the balls for clubland snobs.
NEXUS is a project run by singer/keyboard player Mike Pougounas, the drummer/computer guru Jim Stevis, and the bass and guitar player Costas Spanos.

While recording the album in the studio in Athens, the band picked the title “The Beat Syndicate” because of the driving compositions mixed with dark bass-lines which formed and directed the melodies. Behind the dancy beat that teeters on gothic’s edge, Mike’s vocals are deep and dark.

With the 100% club hit titled “Drop The Luv Bomb”, NEXUS spins off heart-stopping tracks such as “You Always Get A Second Chance” and the fleshier arrangements of “Saviours Own Slump”

THE MISSION - AURA - CD

val — Wed, 21 Apr 2010 02:01:42 +0000

Classic riffs from the guitar of Wayne Hussey, as well as his warm and emotional voice, the well-known bass lines from Graig Adams and the mature drumming by Scott Garrett (ex-The Cult). It has to be mentioned that Mark Gemini Thwaite gives the impression, that he has joined the band many years ago.

The lyrics, which are all written by Hussey, seem to be personal and are in the classic style of Wayne. Sometimes are melancholic and sometimes are humorous, but not funny.

The production of Aura was by Wayne Hussey. The album is mixed by Dave Allen (Him, Bon Jovi etc.) and Steve Power.

Released and the Greek Label Cyberdelia Record who’s other releases you will find distributed by Left As In Sinister.
