For many it is difficult to keep for several years high at a high level. Especially in the creativity of electronic music, it is not so simple surely. Almost weekly new projects are flushed to the surface. Partly make this newcomer the old "fast something before. Ronan Harris manages but until now continuously a successful album after another to produce and shows younger bands like to where the frog has the curls. Well me is the now already 7 fulltime album of VNV Nation before and I really do not expect much. Harris has developed in recent years, a musical standard. The grandfather of Futurepop knows where he needs to move towards the controller so that it sounds good. And because of the lies the rub. Of Faith, Power and Glory "is now only" standard program. The voluminous Intro Pro Victoria "let me in connection with the militaristic Cover the plate for the first time to solidify a bit. Brass fanfares and marching drums I had actually not as expected. Since the expectation screw is very revved. Sentinal" gives me exactly what I expect. Driving beats, hard bassline, beautiful chorus with loud melodies. Tomorrow Never Comes "starts for me very annoying Dance, then drifts but again in familiar regions. Gloom and doom wrapped in sweet melodies that should make us waiting for the Last Judgement pleasant. Ghost "has me somewhat more what I like about VNV Nation. Mysterious sounds, worn strings sequences with a pinch of sadness. Harris suffers in such tracks as eerily beautiful that freezes my blood. Here he shows his class and is for me almost unbeatable. And while you're sitting still devoutly because you get to kind of conflict "a hard-edge techno track in your face. The album slowly rises in a new direction from the I hope a lot. Unfortunately, you fall after then again into old habits returned, I heard then but in recent years too often. Only to mention, there is the beautiful ballad Fromm My Hands ". A track that could bring tears to the eyes of an emotion. It's a pity that Ronan Harris has placed this time so little creativity to light. It should be much dare more, to take experiments than to undertake every album over and over again to the same standards. It can happen quickly, that you will then manage to overtake the creative offspring.
