My Rating: 3/5
I’m not really an Apparat fan, but do feeling quite cool for his early IDM glitch techno stuffs with something unique subtlety in modern beauty and elegance…….since his last album ‘Wall’ in 2007, it is easy to feel that this German musician aka Sascha Ring seems go for a more poppy approach rather than ambitious experimental we expected…..the result is more mellow dreamy electronica stuff with a bit of his cool electronic twists……although not ambitious, I still like “Wall” for the right balance in accessibility and the electronic quest…...
4 years later, ‘The Devil’s Walk’ is even heading to a one-sided pop direction with no regret……..no more cool electronic twists or glitch, whole album is packed with those all-you-heard-before poppy-ambient dreamy sing-a-long synth sound and white-horse-pop-star-like emotional vocal….such a 80s old school new romantics synth-group vibe like Ultravox, etc……Honestly, I don’t really like such music direction of Apparat……..a bit kitsch!!!
