German based Behind the Scenes has brought us a
fantastic release that is best described as Goth-Pop, or
Goth-Electronic. If you don’t like either of those titles, pick
the other one. It’s been a while since I have been able to review a CD with so many memorable tracks, so bear with me while I attempt to express my passion for Behind The Scenes’ “Homeless” I first encountered BTS through their label, Dancing Ferret Discs. DFD has some great gems, Neuroticfish, Paralyzed Age, The Cruxshadows, and of course, Behind the Scenes.
Behind the Scenes has a fantastic blend of guitars,
electronics, and vocals. The guitars play a great part in
contribution to the overall character of each track, the
electronics compliment the character of these tracks and
the vocals give you that warm fuzzy feeling inside. I really
enjoyed the vocals of BTS – it always seems like there is
more than one man singing, this is most likely done with a
slight echo effect, but regardless of the technical work, it
does have an emotional response for me.
Each track has it’s own distinct flavor, but the great part is
that once you are a seasoned fan of BTS, you will recognize them right off the bat when hearing them in a club.
Every track has great appeal, but to narrow it down, the
tracks that stand out the most would be Human, Protection, Plastic Love (a great track for clubs) and Dark Agression.
