After the critically acclaimed 'Salvation' from 2007 and the
'Reapercussion' EP, a collection of re-interpretations of
various international artists, the Germany fife-piece comes out
with some new material on 'Romancer'.
Listening to the lyrics, the overall lyrical theme on 'Romancer'
is love in different facets, presented by the highly melodic
chant of Skye, trying to transport as much emotion as possible,
while his voice is soaring over the differently coloured song
structures which all have a melancholic character though. 'Right
from The Start' for instance starts with a dense intro sequence
made of layered electronic rhythms, some piano part and smooth
pads before the drums and harsh guitars come in to complement
the track. The production of the individual tracks is very well
done, especially the drums and even more the electronic elements
sound top notch. In contrast to the before mentioned 'Right from
The Start', the track 'Skin on Skin' rather highlights the
rocking element in the sound of ROZENCRANTZ, but forget to bring
in a healthy doze of synthetics.
Not all tracks meet with my tastes, but all in all it is to say
that 'Romancer' is a nice piece of Goth Rock music, everyone
who's got some kind of affinity to this genre should at least
check out. As bonus there's three live videos from the
performance of the band at this year's Castle Rock in Mulheim
and a video clip to 'Skin on Skin' s o the disc is filled to the
brim.
