U96 - Club Bizarre
U96 were basically whatever the dominant force in the group wished them to be during the noughts and one does ask oneself how their introduction feels thanks to us knowing this now. Yes, we are actually jumping to their debut, which – don't be surprised – sounds so 90's you could've assumed the album was made by an A.I. algorithm. Then again, the latter would have not that made the entire LP that vibrant. The song on the link, for instance, doesn't even sound like U96 and the piece also gives us an answer about the major problem with Eurodance in general I alluded to many times – a variety of these groups didn't have a set identity, they molded that one from one tune to another. The 90's electronic music was funny that way, there was a wish to be everything.
U96 returned with them visiting the alternative pathway of their career that would have happened without Alex Christensen's cosplaying as a German pop mogul he did consequently become. However, Reboot was not a huge break. I mean, the disc basically continued what they did on their comeback EP, which contains a highly competent techno that – one must add – does have a tinge of retro in the soundscapes. Sure, the early 90's became something of a nostalgia fodder by now, so they – my assumption – wish to reap the benefits thanks to them actually soundtracking that period with their hits. Of course, they also keep presenting their songs for the dancefloors now as I have said before, the charts don't matter to them at this point, unless they release another remake of their biggest hit.
The Dark Matter EP might be U96's most important release after Out Of Wilhemsburg thanks to the disc giving them an identity at last. Yes, that's why I'm checking the record again to reconsider my opinion on this actually being what U96 would've been without their biggest hit. This is me being hypothethical, mind you, though I do think the path they are currently on might be the way they would've been, had they been a cult item in the 90's. However, the already mentioned Alex Christensen did hone his pop instincts with them and his experiments gave them many successes. When he left, they turned more oriented towards the club dancefloors than the television ones, if you catch my drift. They're closer to German electronic music scene now.
