Released one year after their debut album, UNDER THE SKY confirm Interlace as a great act who is able to flame the electronic/ebm scene with only two releases. This new MCD brings to the audience five new tracks along with four remixes of old and new tracks. "Under The Sky" is present with the normal and the "Club" versions, "Equus" (remixed by Headscan") and "Missing Link" (remixed by Oliver Beach and Akira Yamaoka, famous for his Silent Hill's soundtrack) are coming from the debut album while "Bells", "Pinioned" (beautiful and intruguing dark ambient atmospheres mixed with energy), "Victims" and "Icon I" are totally new tracks. The remixes don't change that much the original versions (only Yamahoka's brings to "Missing Link" new thrilling atmospheres) while the new tracks confirm the first impression I had of the band: good skills about melody and gear use and great impact even at a first listening. The songs have got different atmospheres presenting different dense dark layers (almost ambient) a la Clock Dva along with catchy melodic lines. I think I'll try to contact them for an interview... :)
P.s. There's also an European release of this MCD, printed by Dependent, which contains several other mixes, tracks coming from their debut album and a live track.

Incredible new release for Ground Under Productions which from the Australian underground brings to light a new e.b.m. industrial act called Stark. Their WIELD E.P. will make no hostages because its eight songs are killer ones. If you are sick of waiting new Wumpscut tracks and you feel kinda nostalgic about his early releases or if you need more Hocico in your life this is for sure your new addiction. Since the first track this E.P. presents a band with an "in your face attitude" but with a good taste about arrangements. You know, distorted is better but if you use the right melody/sounds with stops and go and everything that is able to pump the adrenalin in your body that's so good... The three versions of "Wield" (the only song take form the forthcoming album titled "The Surgical Suite") are cool but also the other five tracks, "Pattaya", "On Your Skin", "Exquisite Pain (Chance)" and the instrumental "Venus" and "Lifestyle" are able to show Stark's skills immediately. They are no clones and are worth your attention!

It could be difficult for every band to come back after seventeen years and demonstrate to themselves and to the audience that the project has got still a sense and kicks asses. This is even more true if we think that D.A.F. are one of the modern electronic/techno fathers along with Suicide and Kraftwerk. Did they succeeded? Globally yes. First of all I must admit that (as many of you, I think) I never listened to their last album released back in 1986 and titled "First Step To Heaven", so I've got to base my comments knowing the older ones and some releases of the projects Gabi Del Gado and Robert Gorl did during these years. Gorl respect Del Gado has been more active as he released different albums since 1984 (the first of them has been "Night Full Of Tension" which contains the sigle "Darling Don't Leave Me" which had Annie Lennox as guest vocalist). Del Gado instead after releasing an album in 1983 titled "Mistress" surfaced again with the project Daf Dos in 1996 (even if he started to work to it years before with the name OPD In Operation DAF). For more informations about the old years please visit our articles link into the archives section. Anyway, let's talk about this FUNFZEHN NEUE DAF LIEDER (Fifteen New DAF Songs). This new album starts were the DAF of the "Fur Immer" period and the DAF DOS stopped as most of the songs have got techno and the classic band's sound influences at the same time. Of the fifteen tracks I really appreciated the second half of them (starting from "Seltsame Freunde") because in my opinion DAF found the right balance between old and new sound. A track like "Algorithmus" would be a perfect single in my opinion but maybe they opted for "Der Sheriff" because of the particular political period (the song is an anti American anthem and also the video, which you can download from their website, ends with the American flag in flames). Also tracks like "Der Prasident", "Liebeszimmer" or "Ich Bin Morgen Wieder Da" are rhythm driven songs but they have got also melodic parts or other kind of changes that help making the song interesting and powerful. "Der Sheriff", "Ich Bin Tot" or "Die Luge" are good songs based mainly on obsessive parts (I know, this has always been a distinctive mark for the band) but maybe because of the sounds, which sometimes sound too digital, the songs sound a little static. It could be only a matter of abitude but I liked songs like "Algorithmus" immediately. Anyway, this has been a good come back and I warmly advice you to check this out.
