--------------
Whether you're into emo, batcave punk, or good old analog electronics,
Bastards Of Love has something for you! This one man band with a little
help from his friends presents the truly amazing album Roses, Sorrow &
Red Candies. Tobi Margaux is like no one else, he just looks and sounds
different from the usual, and shows how much fun that happens to be.
A free thinking individual who knows how to create his own party, and
it's a pleasure to be invited. Initially the romantic dance pop of
"Love And Faith" was recorded to be a single hit on it's own, but while
he was waiting for remixes, a rush of ideas just kept coming, and as
Tobi asked Franck Lopez (of Opera Multi Steel and 3 Cold Men fame) to
contribute his vocals and guitar on "Memorial", the intentions of
Bastards Of Love began taking on an even wider range of genres that
needed expansion in album format. A full 50 minutes were required to
serve up these psychedelic ballads mixed with techno bodybeat floor
fillers. Interestingly, despite having Liane M. as additional female
vocalist on "About The Blue Sea", the now seemingly overused trendy
combination of male vs female vocals managed to reach an even higher
plateau!
We get a futuristic EBM battle cry with "Defeat/Control" plus a taste
of Tobi as garage punk in "Redford For President" and a reminder of
where the initial interest in the Bastards Of Love sound came from
stated in "Mirror" (previously only on vinyl from EC records.) Finally
there's an added bonus with the remixed interpretations of "Love And
Faith" ranging between the harsh breakbeat industrial mix by People
Theatre, and the smooth forlorn synthpop stylings of The Rorschach
Garden. "Dark Channels" even introduces a Talking Drum to the cool
instruments in Tobi's repertoire, and the result is some of the most
exciting Electropop ever created. Bastards Of Love has stepped forward
from the minimal retro of their last album "Decadance Royale" and taken
a great leap into this carnival of delights. The cries of energy and
emotion are wrapped up in a beautiful sleeve designed by tattoo artist
Marek Najman, and smoothly produced for maximum enjoyment by Christian
Piotrowski. Play it loud and fearlessly, oh brothers and sisters! :)
