This CD has a few major problems: a dreadful production and the lack of convincing vocals. It just seems that Reza Udhin and Alexis B. are reading their lyrics from a paper. Where’s the passion? Musically the band has some reasonable songs (like ‘The Place’), but they’ve got absolute ludicrous songs as well (like ‘Void’). ‘Void’ sounds a bit like a bad B-movie with absolutely no plot at all.

Pitifully enough there are more of these ‘glass pearls’ on this album.

It’s all been done before and to be honest also a lot better than this. It might work on the dance floor, because even disco lovers can recognize these beats. But it’s just a bit too simple…

Why 5 points? Because the short instrumental ‘Nova’ and better electro pop songs like ‘Victims’ and – especially – ‘Porno Girl’ show that there’s something on this CD that can compete with the average…
