Deutsch Amerikanische Freundschaft – Gold Und Liebe

69,99

Isn’t it strange how many synth duo’s there were in the early 1980s? Eurythmics, Yazoo, OMD and others gave the era a distinct flavor, while the pioneers were of course Suicide who launched their career in the seventies. Gold und Liebe is an interesting mix of synthpop and trance textures over early 80s dance beats. Love At First Sight has a minimalist sound not unlike some of Depeche Mode’s stuff, whilst the beat speeds up for El Que, a fast dance number that is embellished by female vocals to balance the male voice. Goldenes Spielzeug (Golden Toy) provides some much needed variety as the instrumental textures (including chimes) actually sound fresh and there’s a lovely discernible melody line; even the vocal sounds more lively, as if it’s actually going somewhere. I will has a pounding beat not unlike the sound of Nitzer Ebb, whilst hypnotic percussion and percolating synths color the instrumental Absolute body control whilst wasting your youth has a jagged rhythmic and nervous vocals. Greif Nach Den Sternen (Reach For The Stars) has an ominous buildup with the synths sounding somewhat like trumpets, for a satisfying closing track. Although DAF created interesting electronic textures, this album is somewhat lacking in the melody department and can appear monotonous at times.
