Das Ich: “Cabaret”
Further proof that Berlin is much cooler than your town. EBM pioneers Das Ich may have lost a few (okay, many) followers with Lava, but Cabaret is an attempt to win them back to witness a schooling of Dresden Dolls in pre-war European weirdness. It all goes down better with a German-English dictionary kept handy (gothies had better get used to all this – all German bands seem to have drunk the Rammstein Kool-Aid), but “Moritat” exudes haunted French café darkness in any language. Though it rambles a bit, “Macht” delivers a mighty Simple Minds-ish chorus that represents the most accessible track, and “Opferzeit” is a cracked-beat trance-bopper that tosses electro-operatics in a swirling pot of organic, breathy synth.
