Neongrau - Hi Level Electro!

One artist that alerted me to his music through myspace is Neongrau, who is proving that German electro is alive and well, and being produced in high quality doses!

Neongrau, aka Oliver Gerling offers some quality tracks which you can hear on his myspace account here. The first track that will play is the moody and dark track of 'Fucking Talkshows'
with the synths sounding edgy and dark... which seems to be the formula for good electronic robot music at the moment! The lyrics fit perfectly to the sounds and it makes for a very smooth and complete sound, without actually having too many elements to the music, a great achievement.

'Photographic' is where you can really here the influences on the music, for me, Kraftwerk and I-F leap out, as well as the more pop sounds of Gary Numan and Soft Cell. The vocals work perfectly with the line "I said I'd write a letter, but I never got the time" and the track just takes off.

'High Level Slacker' is another track with great lyrics and very electronic sounds from the drum machine just the way we like it! Again, superb and well thought out lyrics in the track.

Well worth the hunt to find these tracks, and I look forward to an album release!

Good find, but you might like to know that "Photographic" is a Depeche Mode cover. They've got an original approach to the song though. Cheers to that!
