Synopsis

Album Description

Two years after the release of "Holy", the group has returned with another brilliant album and their most progressive, complete with stunning artwork. Pop sensibilities are mixed with industrial electronics which allude to a rock-like feel, even though it's not what most would categorize as rock. The band changed up their musical style ever so slightly here. Female vocals are given a more prominent place in the mix alongside lead singer Dennis Osterman's, who has opted for a more natural sound. Even many of the instruments display less processing than with previous albums. As such, In Strict Confidence has created an album that defies its predecessors, but remains true to the classic feel and song structure that fans love.

CD Reviews

THE CHILD DEVIANT

CRAZOTOLOGY | Joplin, MO. (USA) | 12/06/2006

(4 out of 5 stars)

"As always with ISC, this album comes complete with lyrical printout and amazing artwork. The music hasn't changed much since they sighned on to Metropolis Records, though the technoligy has increased a little. If your new to ISC, the music is categorized as Dark electro/Industrial/Future Pop. Anyways, the second track, 'Promissed Land', is kinda cool, but the third track, 'Forbidden Fruit', is by far the best track on the album, and in my opinion...the best ISC song ever made. Following from there..'Fading Light' is a nice female/male vocal tradeoff....followed by 'Wintermoon' wich has some good Neo-Gothic/elctro-guitars/synths/synth pop vibes. Track 6 is great, though it's in German...as are the next four of five tracks. All in all, another interresting ISC album. Not Perfect....but damm good.

"I am new to In Strict Confidence. "Where Sun and Moon Unite" is my first ISC cd and "Exit Paradise" is my latest ISP cd. What appealed to me was their song "Promised Land" with Antje Schultz on vocals. I heard this song on the band's MySpace page and immediately fell in love with the song. I loved the melodies, Antje's vocals, and the EBM beats. I must say I like the remixes to "Promised Land" and "Wintermoon" more so than the versions on "Exile Paradise". I definitely preferred the remix version of "Wintermoon" over this album's version because of the vocals and the pace of the song was slightly slower than the remix version. I think my favorite song on the entire cd is "Fading Light". The blend of both Dennis and Antje's vocals really works here the best. The song has a lot of energy. A few of the songs took a few listens for me to get accustom to. Overall solid album. I will definitely have to check out ISP's other cds."
