Love Kills!

Editorial Reviews
About the Artist
In Strict Confidence has been carving their own niche in the music world for nearly a decade. The volatile combination of Dennis Ostermann (Vocals/Programming) and Jorg Schelte (Programming) have been soaring up the German charts since the band's inception. ISC burst onto the scene to rave reviews and praises from media and fans worldwide. Soon after, In Strict Confidence was named Orkus Magazine's newcomer of the year. Since receiving this honor, ISC has not slowed down. Appearing on nearly 70 compilations worldwide, ISC has 5 full length albums, several singles and an EP under their belt.

Album Description
Formed in 1991, In Strict Confidence are once again poised to take control of the electro/industrial scene with their latest offering Love Kills! Led by frontman Dennis Ostermann (Vocals/machines) and Jörg Schelte (machines), ISC once again push the envelope of experimentation and further their own evolution. ISC's distinct brand of pounding beats, harsh vocals and melodic undertones sets a new standard while distancing themselves from all others. Tracks such as "Zauberschloss" and "Kiss Your Shadow" are destined club hits and once again prove ISC as a true pioneers of the modern sound. Also the welcome addition of a female vocalist on "Silent Memorial" and the lending hands of mega producer Bruno Kramm (Das Ich) and Olaf Wollschläger (Paradise Lost, Yello and Melotron) have sculpted and perfected the new ISC soundscapes. The latest ISC offering is a must have for fans of Frontline Assembly, Skinny Puppy and KMFDM.

THE CHILD DEVIANT!.......2007-06-09

I don't know why but I love ISC! I think they sound quite original as far as this style of music goes. My favourite tracks on this album are "Heaven Is The Place To Be', "Kiss your Shadow", and "The Setting Of The Sun". This is not the best ISC album but it is a good one and I think it mat be getting close to be Out Of Print. I know that Metropolis doesn't current distribute this album so if your allready a fan than you should get it while you can. If your new to ISC you may want to start with one of thier better albums such as "Holy" or "Mistrust The Angels". Great Electronic-Industrial music!!!

An improvement over ISC's past releases.......2002-06-02

Before Love Kills!, I was only a casual fan of In Strict Confidence. There were a few songs scattered throughout their releases that would catch my attention, but nothing worth buying the entire album for. However, Love Kills! marks somewhat of a departure from their previous sound. Each song now possesses more structure and steady pace, making for an all around listenable album. If I had to compare ISC to more popular bands in the industrial/EBM genre, I would have to say they now sound like a combination of Evil's Toy (for the angels theme, and the high bpm nature of their feature songs) and :wumpscut: (for some of the more abstract tracks). There are a couple of bridge tracks that are bland, but the feature songs such as The Truth Inside Of Me and Kiss Your Shadow are pure excellence. I would also like to add that the cover booklet for this CD is one of the most well designed I've ever seen. With the translucent green tint to every photograph and light overlay paper, it communicates the dark, gothic theme perfectly. If you are a fan of bands like Evil's Toy, :wumpscut:, and Abscess, you will probably be pleased with ISC's evolved sound. Love Kills! deserves a place in your industrial music collection.

I happen to think the CAVEMAN REMIX of LOVE IS A DESERTER is even BETTER than the original - minimal, crunchy, fuzzy, sexy - enuff said.

Love Kills Theory- Happy Suicide Jim.......2007-05-02

I have a riddle for you. What do you get when you cross the more commercial efforts of the [...] Surfers with the saner elements of Frank Zappa and Mothers of Invention?

Give up?

Why, Love Kills Theory, of course. Now, you might not think that those two musical endeavors would mix too well, but if anyone can make it work, its Love Kills Theory impresario Cevin Soling. Soling grew up listening to the MC 5, the Residents, Jim Carroll and various artists experimenting with electronic vocals. Soling has cultivated the roots of his musical foundation into a creative brew on his debut, Happy Suicide Jim.

Soling is something of an eccentric renaissance man, releasing music, self-published children's books and film documentaries. On Happy Suicide Jim, Soling contributes ample guitar licks and robotic electronically enhanced vocals. He is backed by Bill Brandau on keyboards, Jim Minics on guitar, Darren Pilato on bass and Jason Stewart on drums. Throughout Happy Suicide Jim, Soling and his ensemble dredge up sounds akin to some of the Surfer's later work, including Hairway to Steven and Electric Larryland. But where the Surfers are mostly an acid-tinged comedy act, Love Kills Theory explores some dark domains on Happy Suicide Jim. Sometimes, the lyrics are a bit remote, especially on "Region of the Worms", where Soling's metaphors wander into an almost science fiction-like landscape. But, after all, the album purposely dangles on the edge on insanity, so cryptic poetry should be piece of this shattered jigsaw puzzle of an album.

As interesting as Happy Suicide Jim is, its main fault lies in Soling's contradictory infatuation with edginess. At times, the music happily teeters into uncharted territory, much like a tipsy gazelle prancing in a field of lions. But other times, the group only scratches the surface, playing it safe staying within the boundaries established by Soling's musical mentors. This makes Happy Suicide Jim a bit of an uneven ride. It would be nice to hear Soling use the music he adores as a launching pad for expression rather than an altar to worship at.

Despite its occasional faults, Happy Suicide Jim is just lunatic enough to keep your interest up. Soling and Minics interchange chunky chords, ably assisted by the sonic IED blasts of Pilato's and Stewart's rhythm section. Brandau's keyboards add some loopy effects, making the whole project a fine alternative to the bland pop currently dominating the Billboard charts.

And if you haven't figured it out already, don't even bother with this album if you're worried whether or not Brittney is putting out another album, or if Jason is going to do more duets with Scarlet. But if you're thirsting for a sip of the absurd, Happy Suicide Jim is the album for you. It won't make you cream your pants with its originality, but its still better than seventy-five percent of the [...] out there in musicland.
