BLITZMASCHINE

There's always room for new talent, and this Blitzmaschine is a big fish among them. Cynics setting out on a search for new sounds might get disappointed and will probably proclaim widely that this German duo is only revisiting the past. And right they are. But recycling in a good way might just lead up to something decent and that's exactly what Blitzmaschine achieved on their debut "Faustrecht". German electro clubs have been overrun by the dance floor filler “Liebe auf den ersten Blick” for some time now, but this album holds no less than 14 EBM tracks of the finest flavour. Sometimes they tend to sound like Armageddon Dildos (as on the extremely funny “Blondes Madchen”), some songs lean towards And One, while again some other tracks simply sound like plain old EBM à la Nitzer Ebb. Actually, we could compare every track to something we've heard before, but the essence remains that this album contains 14 EBM smash hits that will blow your speakers. And that's exactly what this music is all about!
