IN STRICT CONFIDENCE – “Engelsstaub” CDS

Finally! :))

When you have a fantastic song then it’s easy to make fantastic remixes.
That accounts both to 'Engelsstaub' and 'Brüder'. What a combination, huh?
Why didn’t Melotron do a remix of 'Engelsstaub'? That would have been a killer…

Anyways – get the disc. I’m just going to give you a quick look on it, just to assure you that there are no unpleasant surprises. Trust me, trust ISC – there are none.

- ‘extended isc version’ gives a slightly different angle on title track – it’s accent on guitar is phenomenal and added bars extend the song to over six minutes achieving smoothness further enhanced by clear vocals. Shivers.
- When you give something to herr Engler  you get dkay - Bass and broken rhythm. Slow and effective, especially with changed main theme.
- (stevedragon mix) hm… stripped to pure dance track in the best possible meaning. How do they call them, “dancefloor killers”? Here’s one. Doubled frau Stelzer’s voice on “...aus wunden meiner haut/fliesst engelsstaub” has magnificent effect! Steve Dragon [a.k.a Stefan Vesper, one of the ISC crewmembers] did a great job.
- Knowing their releases, you can expect at least one dark, gloomy track (usually around 10 minutes long). It bears the name 'Kiss of death' on this one. What can I say about it? Classic ISC death-track. With falling angels, kisses and doom. Interesting lyrics.

- “ 'auriez vous peur du passe’ ?”

- And finally, (isc version) of Melotron’s hit. It does sound like ISC now :) I already gave my comment on it’s ‘brother’ (link), so this time you’re on your own…

Video? It reminded me of old Sonic Youth stuff, the cinematography, not music of course. Entire minuswelt musikfabrik concept for this album is really good. I especially liked hectic flight/walk of our angel and the make-up. Overall mark though, don’t know, kiss at the end is a bit too much… :)

So, here you are. “Engelsstaub” CDS , chosen by you (us) to be the next single from “Mistrust The Angels”, continues with idea, concept and quality of it’s parent. By my humble opinion, “MTA” was one of the best albums in 2002. In Strict Confidence continues strong.
