das innere ich
1996, Danse Macabre

reviews (in german) are also found within the discography on Das Ich's site.

Das Innere Ich is not your typical Das Ich album. Anyone who caught them on their recent tour knows what style of music they are currently creating; aggressive electro with a dash of peculiarity. Das Innere Ich was created as the soundtrack for the film Das Ewige Licht. I will admit up front that, aside from their live show, I had never had a chance to hear any of Das Ich's music. Judging from their live set, Das Innere Ich isn't as brutal as their previous work, but that's understandable considering it is a soundtrack.

Mikrokosmos is a dark piece with orchestral stabs and rolling bass sequences that immediately reminded me of music devised for a Hitchcock film. Das Innere Ich has quite the opposite affect, taking on the sound of an imminent WWII battle at sea. The final pair of tracks, Epilog and Bin Ich es Denn', stand apart from the remainder of this CD. Both of these tracks sound very much like the songs they played in concert. Epilog is a pounding piece with throbbing electro rhythms and semi-distorted drums; very aggressive and very invigorating. Finally, Bin Ich es Denn' wraps things up with hard electronics, unique breaks, eerie sequences and whispered lyrics. If these final two pieces are reminiscent of the typical Das Ich style, than I better start picking up some of their older material while I await the new CD.
