[Music] Mini Review

Tactical Sekt - Syncope
There's nothing new or innovative in this release but if you like their style (hard beats, not too badly vocals with clear background melodies) or Hard/Terror EBM in general, you can't go wrong with it, really. While a bit too much of the same old, it's still very solid. I would have loved to hear some more variety, maybe a few more Noise tracks like Beslan and some into a more ambient direction, but there are quite a few definite floor fillers.

I love Beslan, gonna play that tomorrow :)

I think the vox are a little *too* distorted though, I know that's par for the course with this kind of thing but it'd be nice to shout along a bit more. I like how even though a lot of the album is heavier it almost sounds more accessible than previous work because of more distinct synth hooks.

Can you drop me your address to info [at] modulateonline.com ??

I'm just sending out a batch of Modulate demos if you want a copy?

All done and thanks :)

Beslan is on the Bunkertracks comp too.

I dunno, the trouble with Tactical Sekt for me is that, like a lot of Terror EBM bands, they have a formula and they stick to it. Which means not only do tracks not stand out, bands don't either.

*nods*
It's good material to get or keep a dancefloor going, though.

Sounds Ok but I might wait before buying it. This style of music isn't doing it for me much these days.
