digipak. Fans of In Strict Confidence have always been accustomed to slightly longer waiting times for new albums. This time, there were two pre-album singles that shortened the wait, both of which already hinted on an immense stylistic bandwidth for the new long player. The sounds range from a mix of classic Electro-EBM elements like in "Everything Must Change", which will no doubt please early fans and the alternative-emotional approach of "Somebody Else's Dream." The band plays out its own strengths, harkens back to the classics but also firmly keeps looking forward, not just opening but smashing down new doors. The 12 new songs are more versatile than ever and relentlessly pull the listener onto a roller coaster ride of emotions: aggressive-melodic, deeply dark or catchy and club-compatible, supported by deeply-felt lyrics, performed by Dennis Ostermann and his female counterpart Nina de Lianin.
