Wrong

by Studio-X / Technoid

Strong from the club success of his last albums and other collaboration releases with DJ SIMON CARTER, TECNOID and other AVARICE IN AUDIO, our favorite Australian hi-NRG techno industrial producer STUDIO-X strikes back with a quite surprising new full length album that will destabilize more than one... When joining hands with his new partner in crime Bridgette Collins, Lawrie Bayldon decided to break the rules by incorporating some new styles into his characteristic industrial dance sound. And while accidentally discovering a vocal fx chain that reminded them of MARILYN MANSON and other similar goth vocalists, they even went the crazy extra mile and started adding vocal lines on many songs of this new album, which is quite unusual for STUDIO-X who normally always mostly focused on sampled vocals manipulations. Wrong is the living proof that nothing can go wrong once an artist dares taking new challenges rather than simply repeating an overused recipe of success... Of course big beat anthems like the apocalyptic zombified Approach, the funny binary dance track Question, the next video gamers (Left For Dead 2 fans: just shoot it!!) top favorite upbeat cut L4D2 or yet the hard-hitting technoid Vampire all evoke the original STUDIO-X sound DNA and are all potential next club hits, but this new album also shows new sound directions with some kind of break beat styles incorporated into their groovy bass lines, while the verse/chorus vocal lines add a true catchy song dynamic to these new titles (the highly melodic Slave, the soul-crushing dark elektro Asylum, the contagious distorted Disease, the EBM-ish Media or yet the aggravating and crazy Motivation). And other songs like the melancholic noir electric pop Wrong or the poignant Voices and its emotional female vocal manipulations and its orchestral grandeur simply expand the sonic horizon of this stunning album that will grow on you in no time...
