Im Namen Des Volkes – Welt Ist Kaputt (EP – Ant-Zen)
Genre/Influences: Minimal-Electro, Experimental, Industrial.
Format: Digital, Vinyl.
Background/Info: Matthias Schuster (also known from Bal Paré, Das Institut, Geisterfahrer, Lichtjahr ao) broke the silence unleashing his first new Im Namen Des Volkes-work in years. It also is the first work he released by Ant-Zen. This EP features four songs.
Content: This project remains driven by good-old influences from 80s Electro/Industrial pioneers. It definitely sounds Experimental but is still into the typical ‘analogue’ 80s approach of Electronic music. This work reminds me of the glorious days of SPK.
+ + + : Great comeback for this artist which remains inspired and devoted to the sound and magic of the 80s. This is great old-school Electro/Industrial music featuring heavy, blasting passages composed by an artist who was already active during the 80s. You’ll discover great sound treatments with spoken-like vocal parts on top.
– – – : I regret the tracks are pretty short -which however often was quite 80s-minded as well.
Conclusion: Im Namen Des Volkes bring us back to the past and will for sure evoke great souvenirs.
Best songs: “Wellengenerator”, “Welt An Die Wand”.
Rate: 8.
