While looking for necessary sound band came through many styles and finally ended on EBM and
Darkwave. Very unusual vocal of Michael with dark-industrial symphonism is making
not-forgetable impact on listener (contr-tenor).
Here we have basically reissue of initial *Ego* released back in 2005 (with initial *raw*
sound), combined with 4 tracks from the first album's reissue in 2007 and bonus tracks.
Generally "Ego" is not so conceptual as "Gorod" (2006) and "Atomnaya Zima" (2007). But well
recognisable gloomy electronic sound of Otto Dix was defined exactly at this disk. It is
more lirycal and soft and can be counted as most romantic band's album: suicidically-
touching "Liubimiy Nemets" and schizophrenical-dance hit "Ego" became well known even
abroad. Here we have much less gloomy epics. As bonus comes melancholic EBM hits of Marie
Slip solo project with Russian harsch-vocal and with so loved (by him) symphonism.
"Ego" is inconsistent and enigmatic. A talk amout microcosmos of a human: fears, problems,
dreams, ineerworld andanout a hard way of self-identification. Ego - this is waht recognised
in first turn, this is a bridge between the mind - Super-Ego and a poferfull ancient massive
of instincts - Id. This is what remains with a man even at the point when everybody left
him...s
