Diesein - Even the best are the worst
Who are the best at making electropop a matter of discipline, elevating it to a form of culture? The Germans, did you doubt it?
Here, in these very grooves, we can celebrate the beauty of the sax accompanying the electronic feathers, in a design of warm and sensual dance in which musical decades take stock. There is balancing to be done, mechanisms to be registered, a melodic strategy to be determined that never ceases to tease. The Diesein are completely unknown masters and this angers the old scribe not a little: stick to these frequencies, history is written by those who have not won and they are the emblem of this. Their hands use a skilful ladle, ingredients are thrown into the pot that also includes drops of synthpop held at bay with balance. The drum machine's work is perfectly aligned with that of a bass guitar that is extreme in its simplicity and allows the synths to dominate the scene without being ridiculed. You keep Depeche Mode that scribe right now, with these very songs, we know that beauty doesn't reach the masses and fanaticism...
