Review extract from VIRUS Magazine:
This story is primed with varied moods, simple rhythms, plausible but very catchy melodies, lots of analog sounds and bleeps'n'clonx. Of course, such music needs the correspondingly vocals, and so they are: undercooled and offish but with a certain smart attraction and charming attitude.
Amongst the highlights of the disc is the dancy and pulsating "Believe In You" which effects like a joint venture between Dirk Ivens' pre-Dive project Absolute Body Control and German minimal electro act Alien Skull Paint. The addition of some female vox in the chorus is a nice contrast to Lionel's rather undercooled way of singing. Another song that offers additive female vox accompaniment is "One Another" with its gamboling beats and Rational Youth vs. Yazoo flair.
A seductive goody is also provided via the mid tempo track "Being Part Of Me" with its rather darkened underworld fragrance and kettledrum-like spots. Somehow this piece reminds of early Human League.
Whilst the blithesome and lighthearted synthpop jaunt "Beep Beep" serves a keyboard line that unmistakably bridges to very early Depeche Mode (think of "New Life"), the resolute "Kill Myself For You (I Wouldn’t)" partly holds some kinda noisy feel, the calm and atmospheric "Lucky" with its night mood could be an old, early 90's Dive b-side mixed with some Kraftwerkian melody splinters, and the uptempo trip "Stuck In A World Without You" with its monotonous scent even comes up with some techno-driven beats.
