GRAUGLANZ

Elegantly constructed, its mysterious solitary melody lines move along "clean-electronic urban environments" without noise or industrial analogies. Opposite to that, shimmering and bright night textures are abundant, as the up-front electric piano and synth, more than once catchy, but intelligent riffs.

Its "modern" electronics as its intelligent songwriting, give enough self-created music credentials and sets this release not as a mere repetition of past formulas but instead offers a newflanged approach to this styling.

Sober, hypnotic, attractive and rich in creative ideas, its only flaw is track 4,"Sieben (Flaschen Bier)", which I suppose was meant to be whimsical or funny, but turns out to be quiet expendable. Besides that, this parade of electronic transitions and environments is flawless.

****4 PA stars.
