CHRISTOPHER - wer Next Projekt

Independent Release 2003

Solo artist Christopher is an engaging and enjoyable to listen to, but very troubling for a music journalist to describe confidently. 

His debut album, Wer Next Projekt is a remarkable mix of King Black Acid and Dead Can Dance meets Nine Inch Nails. Structured as an art-rock/classical composition, it seems to be broken up by three major movements marked by the tracks, "Nokturne", "Waiting for Pussy ... Willow", and "What Is Your Threshold for" that are 17, 13, and 10 minutes respectively in duration.

What is even more remarkable is that Christopher performed all of the instrumentals, and 95% of the vocals, both male and female parts. Vocals are at times haunting, intense, sedate, and primal. Fans of Eastern and Celtic influences will find many such references used with a stylish flair that are abound in Wer Next Projekt.

Wer Next Projekt is a highly recommended album for Dead Can Dance, Enigma, Ashengrace fans that want to experience an album on an epic scale. It is a sparkling underground gem that should be shared with friends.
