Morning Sci-Fi as a logical consequence of Wide Angle - but I have taken some time to recognize the ...!

Well,
I bought this album relatively immediately after it was published. I was like a lot of Wide Angle so fascinated that I stretched enendlich - but I had to be afraid disappointed. I had of course reingehört before buying - frankly gave me the album but do not actually fallen (although the grandiose arrangements were clearly recognizable) - had to concise was the change in direction of the hybrid smashed. But I also knew that I had to Listen-probably longer - so I still bought it.
Now, at home I have listened to the album a few times - and I can only say: I was really disappointed as feared.

Now you will wonder why 5 stars?
Quite simply, it has taken a long time to accept with me that it would not give a Wide Angle II (and also should not be!). Wide Angle was certainly a milestone and unique in its style. This however does not mean for Morning Sci-Fi that it is not. Now, after 5 years, I am eternally grateful hybrid that they have not tried to make Wide Angle II, but develop their sound as they wish. Because they would thus only can fail - as they have delivered another masterpiece.

Morning Sci-Fi is in its way quite different from Wide Angle, the sound has become much darker, the vocals are completely different, Techno tracks are a greater focus on the Focus. But - and this is the key: it's still HYBRID. One notices at any time that this band is that you have so fallen in love - the arrangements are still razor sharp, the melodies beautifully.
In retrospect, I find it amazing that they have managed to get it just this balancing act. Actually, they could only fail in front of their fans (so was my feeling at the beginning) - but (and more I can not say this strangely) it fits easily !!!

In conclusion: I really needed enormously long to find the album well (I have the album definitely put away more than a year - then again belongs, then again - it just gets better - as if one could trace the career of hybrid bit by bit better). Who goes there like I can give only the way: listening repeatedly !! This is then at some point on its own! The nice thing is that at some point Wide Angle + Morning Sci-Fi both can come to love together ... both in their own unique way!
