MP3DB.pro - Essence Of Mind - Try & Fail (2CD Limited Edition) (2009)

With their new album, "Try and Fail", the Norwegian act ESSENCE
OF MIND showcase their impressive song-writing aptitude and
modern production maturity. They have sharpened their unique
blend of groovy electro rock tunes, strong catchy choruses,
melodic synth arrangements and punchy rhythms. As already
revealed on the recent "Watch Out" EP released for the band's
European tour with ZEROMANCER, ESSENCE OF MIND continue their
sonic quest for the ultimate balance between edgy and powerful
songs while putting a strong focus on fresh electronic melodies
and sing-along choruses. Songs like "Five Minutes of Fame" and
"Fooled" are surely two good examples of beautiful songs with an
edge that grows on you in no time...

While Erlend's poignant and emotional vocals evoke similarities
with APOPTYGMA BERZERK's recent work, ESSENCE OF MIND's eclectic
musical approach will also please fans of bands like ZEROMANCER,
PROJECT PITCHFORK and even MESH. A solid 10-track album full of
potential hits, confirming the band's dynamic and very personal
exploration of diverse musical horizons made of hard-hitting
electronics, loud guitar sounds, high-energy synthesizers, lush
catchy pop-rock tunes and engaged, straight-in-your-face vocals.

This special deluxe carton box set includes an additional CD
entitled "Re-try" featuring three exclusive bonus tracks plus a
bunch of special remixes by bands like 32 CRASH, STUDIO X and
I:SCINTILLA.
