4. Elektrosmog
5. w
6. Dynamic / Cybernella Mix

    Electro-tekNETZo!  Super dance music. Industrial-electro at its best.  Netz has brought us an excellent release with Auf Ewig.  It's original, sample-laden, the best of industrial sounds with a good amount of lyrics and vocals in German, (Oooooh how do we love to hear those Germans sing in their native language! smile)
    Elements in this work aren't limited to industrial as you can hear classical synth (Dynamik), ambi-electro dance, and dark melodic pop.  Zapping effects, sampling and blasting percussion leads to a marchlike snare then into a drum loop and key section separating off into a swirling synth ending with various wildlife (?) samples of sea gulls and whales in W.  A beautiful and stunning contrast for such a powerful industrial piece of work.   Elektrosmog is quite different from the other tracks in terms of beat (F242esque), german lyrics and vocals lightly treated, dark and melodic electro-pop/industrial.
    The Dynamik / Cybernella Mix uses KMFDMish vocals, if you like that sort of thing, (and hey, if it's in German, it's great!), great dance music, (that reminds me of some of the work by the band Yello), loops of high racing electro that only stop for those incredible vocals!  My friend Adrian says that the Atlantis track has Kraftwerkian overtones.  The vocals are treated to sound robotish, a fast beat 120 bpm and really synthetic/futuristic. NETZ just kicks it hard! Buy this CD now!!
