![]() Don't be put off by the mention of 'electroclash' above, because electroclash has taken more from ellen allien than ellen allien from electroclash. ![]() This great blend of styles and techniques make for an outstanding album. 'Open' closes the album, with a artful blend of tech-breaks, guitar and industrial hiss. The funk breaks on 'Push' certainly do kick ass, while the breaks get a little more abstract and industrial on 'Trash Scapes.' 'Augenblick' and 'Wish' both show the more thoughtful side of Ellen Allien. 'Sehnsucht' is much more straightforward in its darker sound that grows in intensity and mood. The track develops in fascinating ways: when the vocals reappear, it's accompanied by both a delicate descending synth line and some electronic squiggles. ![]() The opener 'Alles Schen' is a shiny piece of tech-house, all the more catchy with her mysterious German vocals. A great album from Ellen Allien - BERLINETTE has all the qualities goingn for it: funky, bright, moody.
