Deine Lakaien- 1987

Deine Lakaien

"1987"

(Chrom Records)

"This is vintage material re-mastered & is most certainly a must for all D.L. fans. Included are the original versions of classics like "Day's Gone By", "Reincarnation", & "Love Me to the End" among other unorthodox triumphs such as "Death-Raft", "Mama, There's a Ghost", "Queue up for Redemption", "The Executioner", & "On the Way to Armada". Like a conquering sad king, Alexander Veljanov´s vocals are as brooding & overthrowing as ever, & the classically trained composer, Ernst Horn provides the timeless music & production that is so familiar in their strong musical body of work. They're an excellent example of mixing in classical music w/ Darkwave aesthetics where nothing is out of bounds for these elusive luminaries; Experimental, artistic, poetic, romantic, unnerving, & totally unique. By far, one of the greatest Goth bands ever but to pigeonhole them as such would be a crime because there's no one out there who sounds quite the same. I must also recommend checking out Ernst Horn's award winning neo classical project "Qntal". [-Marcos-]
