As a LONGtime fan of Clan of Xymox...a new release by this band always excites me.

"Tears ago" is where I would like to start...oh yes...thank you...this has an old Clan of Xymox sound and also still sounds fresh at the same time.

"Delete" is an electro gem that the djs must be already spinning on goth/synth night. Check out their hot video below!

Other standouts from the album- "Deep down I died" (a darkwave music scape'sque song), "She Did not Answer" - gatecrasher dark wave-NICE...think..."Imagination". "Dream of Fools" is the slow B-side of "Muscovet Musquito".

Overall it's a strong album and a bit of a departure for Clan of Xymox at the same time as they branch into a heavier danceable dark wave sound and Vampire theme songs that are spookily crafted. Shelve this album next to: Clan of Xymox (because you have all of their albums too)

Clan of Xymox will be around forever spinning greatness.
