Austrian-based Dr. Nachtstrom debuted back in 1999 with the experimental album '17 Songs After Midnight.' Follow-up 'Leidenschaft' took him nearly two years. In the meantime, Nachtstrom worked together with Hans Platzgumer and did a couple of remixes. Nachtstrom's latest work is much more melodic than the work on his debut album. Sometimes he is able to create a frightening atmosphere that reminds one of Scorn's 'Evanesce' period: moody, scary, estranging. In other moments Nachtstrom embraces hectic big beat or drum 'n' bass breaks, and compelling melodies that accompany weird samples and hectic rhythms. A cover of Soft Cell's 'Youth' is a clearer indication that Nachtstrom is moving more toward popular music; and that is making his music much more interesting. Nachtstrom is building bridges between genres. Using heavy guitars, explosive breaks, vocalists, synthesizers, and poppy melodies without becoming commercial or soft, Nachtstrom's music remains dark, mysterious, raw, cutting edge. Grasping the feel of mid-nineties electronic experimental music (Scorn, Main, early drum 'n' bass) and a little bit of late new wave, you could call him a musical modernist. But in essence, 'Leidenschaft' is much more a post-modern trip: a trip where genres don't exist. Only elements that have to be mixed. Great album.
