Great album. My favorite track is Deep

Mend has a fascinating sound, and excellent songwriting. Highly recommended for EBR fans. Looking forward to more.

A rumble. Then it begins to spread its wings. Lovely, dark movements of sound. Such fine architecture from a forgotten age. TheDisenchanted number many, and in virtual spaces they find each other. All we need now is cohesiveness, some solidarity. Good track to start the movement! Or, is it too late now. Who knows. Sometimes I think I can't feel anymore. Deep is brilliant EBM in form and execution.

Dissention a lovely interlude and Forsaken is wonderfully evocative, picks up the sensation very well and expresses it in fine form. Jaded continues along the same track but from a different perspective. Contained, apart from my experiences of incarceration, seems to sum it up well. ShinyMetal is a fantastically dynamic piece of music. Even my daughter likes it, so it must be good!) In spite of it all.

HereWeAre, in real space, in virtual spaces and from my survey, nothing really distinguishes one from the other, apart from technological equipment being employed in the various processes we go through. Like the song says, it's always been the same. The nullification of a paradigmatic shift was the best we could manage. Promises, promises. OneWithNone is how I feel when I have so much around me to be grateful for, such are the vicissitudes of existence. It could be better, or it could be a lot worse. Nice, mild track.

Then to Sub-Killer, which is a mint of a track, love it. Where there is clarity, light is shed on the subject much better. I mumble a lot in speech, so I can appreciate such expressive reticence but I find it difficult to pick up lyrics anyway. I think it's something to do with the brain I have. LoveIsBlind has a wonderful intonation and, although I agree to a degree, love can be all-consuming to the point of non-existence. Love is a many splendoured thing.

Change ends up being unlucky thirteen, but an exemplary track, a summation. Overall, I think this is a great album. Nice work with consistency. Good job done!)

This is quite a fine dark and downtempo release, that will obviously appeal to the fans of synthpop/futurepop music - great production quality with a unique atmosphere!

It's hard to select a favourite track, but "jaded" and "change" seem to be the candidates :) Keep it up, Mend!

A very well put together album. Good songs, they have an interesting sound. My favorite track would be "shinymetal". Definitely worth a listen.
