Deine Lakaien: Dual

Interesting concept. Deine Lakaien recorded the first double album of their career. CD two are ten cover versions such as “Because The Night” (Patti Smith Group), “Dust In The Wind” (Kansas), “Black Hole Sun” (Soundgarden) or “My December” (Linkin Park), which in turn influenced the ten own songs on the first CD. However, they all sound typically Deine Lakaien. Meaning: Alexander Veljanov‘s velvety baritone is enthroned on the extravagant electronic compositions of Ernst Horn, who with his immense joy of experimentation once again gives pleasure to friends of sophisticated sounds, because in the superficially melancholic Dark Wave tunes there are very artistic and sophisticated sound worlds to discover, which skillfully tear down the boundaries of „popular“ and „serious music“.
