X-Posed
[Decadance Records]
Not anybody can compete with Daniel Myer. Obviously, the Greek trio, Audioplug, tried to prove us, with this first album, that Haujobb is a formula anyone can copy. Well, "X-Posed" shows that mixing electro-EBM and techno demands a lot of skill, and when you don't master this technic, you can produce something really annoying for the ears. The trance-goa sounds that Audioplug uses are so little subtle, and the way they sing (in a very German and deep way, like TOY...) add to the heaviness of the whole. So, the result is a future pop, as less pop (with three notes melodies) as futurist (the sounds are really worn out). In the end, "X-Posed" is quickly forgotten, with the exception of some rare and good sequences (especially on Disoriented and Acidify Me). The whole could have been better and more original. But, let's be indulgent for this first try, and let's wait for a possible following.
