In Strict Confidence - Mistrust The Angels

German In Strict Confidence has released their fifth album with the title 'Mistrust the angels'. An album with many strong tracks in its melancholic, electronic creation. First on the album is "Send a sign" followed but he little more dance friendly "Herzattacke". After that comes the slower track "Au milieu des anges", which doesn't slow down the album, it quite keeps the same feeling as before.

The track "Engelstaub" is next up and this is the only single from the album, then we have the ballad "When hearts starts to bleed" which if you ask me is one of the strongest tracks on the album. Tracks like "Horizont", "Lost in the night" and "Prayers of the mute" are also worth mention.

The only lack I can find is the interludes on the album, like "Schlecht geträumt" and "Der tag an dem es frösche regnet" which only makes the entirety go away and you lose some of the feeling you have built up. They are tracks you just skip anyway.

This is a very strong album that will work on both electronic dance floors and at home. The design is really beautiful with the angels in rusty steel wings and other industrial environments. Jan 01 2002
