BACK AGAIN: GOTHIC / WAVE / DARK-WAVE

NEXUS – Wrapped In Cellophane (CD 2002)

(Cyberdelia Records, www.cyberdelia-records.com )

„Wrapped In Cellophane“ is the third album of NEXUS from Greece and it is their most many-sided work yet, I think. First of all, it is Gothic-Rock, but there are millions of influences from Metal and Alternative Rock to Dark Wave and Electro/Indistrial. The whole atmosphere is very dark and the voice is somewhere between Andrew Eldritch, Peter Spilles, Carl McCoy and the singer of Garden of Delight. Gothic-Anthems like „Evil In Evil Out“ and „Born In Razors“ have the potential to fill the dancefloors in many clubs and „These Tears Again“ will satisfy all fans of classic Gothic-Rock, I think. „Machineries Of Fear“ reminds me a bit on the soundtrack works of Nine Inch Nails, definetly a club track! „Wrapped In Cellophane“ is something, that can be called Cyber-Goth and I often feel remembered on Trev Bamford´s band Midnight Configuration. Would be fine, if NEXUS would find a distributor for Germany and other countries, so they surely would become a band with a loyal following.

The artwork of this CD is very likely, too, so there is no reason, not to get in contact with the band and order the album soon. (A.P.)
