After a short break by this duo to focus on their solo work, they're back with
their 2009 album Monumentum. This album is the great next chapter in this band's
history featuring thirteen powerful, new tracks for fans to enjoy. The booklet
is fairly standard, but comes with lyrics and band info and all together makes a
nice package.

The album take a while to build as we start with the ambient introductory track
aptly titled "Open". After this dreamy piece we're brought to "The End" which
again slowly builds, making for a very long introduction before the pounding
beats finally kick in. For fans familiar with this duo's other projects
NamNamBulu, Reaper and Diorama, the style of music is no surprise on this album
as the electronics dominate throughout the album, though they manage to inject
some variety with the soothing introductory piece as already described and later
we're presented with some instrumental pieces that explore more ambient styles
as well as keeping up the electro-pop beats.

All of these aforementioned elements combine to form this album. However,
highlights for me continue to be the dominating dance-friendly pieces. The first
of these that really comes out and hits hard is "The Speed of Life" with it's
combination of classic synths with modern pulsating electronics joined with
pounding beats. Felix lends his vocals once again on all of the vocal tracks for
a smooth, melodic synthpop style. Some are a little heavier with more bass and a
solid kick, the following piece "Phoenix" is a good example of this style that
mixes perfectly with the rest of the album. The intensity really picks up with
the club hit "Tanz Die Revolution" which even includes a slight techno touch a
little like you might hear on a Reaper album. This one definitely stands out as
a stellar dance track that fans will be bouncing to for quite a while on club
floors around the world.

These intense beats continue throughout much of the rest of the album with the
exception of a few tracks. "Almond Flowers" features the dreamy ambient synths
but in this case not as an instrumental but also includes some vocals which is
fairly rare for this duo and a nice touch. As the album wraps up we get a little
bit more of the variety as the intensity goes away and we're left with a couple
of dreamy instrumental pieces to finalize the album with the exception of the
extended version of "The Speed Of Life". "Close" brings the album to a close
much the way we started with ghost whispers mixed amongst dreamy ambient synths
for a nice ending.

Overall this is another great electronic album. They're able to stand out a bit
from the crowd by doing what they do well and mixing it up a bit with everything
from dreamy ambience to hard-edged driving beats.
