This is much more rocking than the previous album, more gothic, more melodic and better performed than Somnambulistic Tunes.
It suits the music very well to be performed by some many musicians, as still the music is more TD-Thorsten-esque and catchy.
I would say 8-9/10.
Ok, I'll add to my listPertou wrote:Yes.
In the opening track Thorsten says/sings some words... there are also some brief poem recitals. At the gig it was done by Thorsten Spiller. The funny thing was that at one point dropped his five or so sheets of paper on the floor, while playing.
The guitarist Don, who was a part of the audience when he didn't play his wild solos, quickly hurried, to pick them up for Thorsten S.
The last track is a regular song (pretty gothic) sung by Stoppel, called The End of The End of Everything... very good album album (and concert) closer.

It was something special, I'm glad I went.
Thorsten played all sorts of instruments: Schrittmacher sequencer and Memotron(obviously, as Mario presented the show), various keyboards (couldn't see the brand, as there was black gaffer tape over the it - some business secret?), a guitar with a violin bow, drums etc.
I forgot to visit MK's shop, what's the address again?

I notice that there are a lot of guitar sounds on TQ's tracks for Purple Diluvial. I did wonder whether it was keys or actual guitar. It's very difficult to tell these days.Pertou wrote:The track "Sleep Well Elisabeth" is very atmospheric in its conclusive phase.

When you get to hear the album yourselves, you will notice the remarkable similarity between the song, and Thorsten's contributions to Springtime In Nagasaki. This beckons the questions:
1. was Thorsten Spiller contributing guitar to SIN?
2. or did Thorsten use samples of his guitar sounds?
Thanks for the review Pertou. I've order a copy from CDS so I'm quite keen to her it now.Pertou wrote:Two words: Buy it!
