The music is dark and very funky. Cabarait Voltaire is a great influence according to Robert, but I also hear alot of Belgian influences like The Klinik and Vomito Negro.
I really love this music. It sounds analogue and oldschoool and should appeal to everyone interested in dark dance music. Especially the album Memory, wichis really accessible with straight forward songs. Later releases with the band are a little bit more experimental and introvert.
Favorite tracks from the album are Lead head, Mine too, Sin realite and Rapid pulse.
Memory + is a very limited casette (75 copies) with the album on one side and remixes on the b-side. The remixes are ok, but nothing really stands out, with the exception of the Soft Metals remix of Mine Too. This remix is very cool and should work very nice for the dancefloor.
