This is a pretty interesting release, because music wise it’s pretty diverse.
I can’t find a whole lot of information about this band, but they have a homepage and MySpace, so fair enough.

Since the musicians are from French, expect a lot of French electro flavored music.
The music has a great electro-clash vide to it, but also a lot of more experimental structures. It might be a relatively difficult album to get into.

It starts with some tweaked sounds on the track ‘Les autres couleurs’. It sounds somewhat schizophrenic, coupled with French vocals. The next track, ‘Aucune blessure’, feels as a kind of electro-rock track, with nice sounds in the background. The third track, ‘Nous roulons dans les fleurs’, sound very much like electro-clash meets rock. Nice vocals make this a very nice track. The next track, ‘Rendez-vous (messagerie vocale)’, is an intro to the upcoming track, ‘Rendez-vous’. It starts with some vocoded vocals, which builds up over the whole track, with the next track becoming rhythmic. Nice electro-clash song. Track 6, ‘Il est temps d’affronter la réalité’, is more of an experimental intermezzo. The next track, ‘Dans ma bulle noire’, starts with some beautiful synthwork. Once the vocals are added, the track turns very soothing. Track 9, ‘Mes yeux bleus dans tes yeux noirs’, is very good and more up-tempo. It sounds fairly catchy and has nice rhythms. The next to tracks, ‘La musique dans ma tête’ and ‘O xanax’, are more ambient and uses beautiful sounds to convey feelings. The last track, ‘Brise la glace’, is very long, about 20 minutes, and sounds like a compilation of the whole album. This song uses all the facets we have heard in the other songs. We hear abstract sounds to rhythmic structures, with vocal parts in places. This ends with an intense climax.

All in all a pretty interesting release. It uses a nice combination of French electro-clash with more experimental sounds. Recommended.
