A CD review of NEUROTICFISH's release LES CHANSONS NEUROTIQUES.

NeuroticFish - Les Chansons Neurotiques
Strange Ways Records 2002
Distributed by Dancing Ferret Discs in the USA


Les Chansons Neurotiques, French for "The Neurotic Poems" is the second
LP from the great German one man band that is NeuroticFish.

NeuroticFish exhibits the compositions of singer/songwriter Sascha Mario
Klein. Klein exhibits a mastery for creating music in EBM fashion
(Electronic Body Motion). Sascha's forte is creating very engaging EBM
hooks that stay miraculously from the cliche, and marrying them to
thoughtful lyrics.

Les Chansons Neurotiques, laid out as a concept, is mindful of pacing both
thematically and musically, without descending into over-stated redundacy.
If you were waiting for that perfect Electro album this year, this is it.

Production is seemless and perfectly fits in nicely with the other Dancing
Ferret Discs labelmates Paralysed Age and The Cruxshadows. Les Chansons
Neurotiques features 11 new tracks as well as a fresh version of "Wake Me
Up" from his previous album the Wake Me Up EP.
