Zwielicht: The Remixes is a remarkably thorough document of the current state of affairs for
l'Ame Immortelle, an Austrian
industrial/
darkcore band with a solid European fan base and four previous studio albums to its credit. The two-disc set includes remixes of songs from the band's fourth album,
Dann Habe Ich Umsonst Gelebt, as well as a video
documentary of live performances and behind-the-scenes footage from the band's headlining tour of Germany in 2000. The remix program opens strangely gently, with predominantly orchestral arrangements of
"Erinnerung" and
"Judgement" (the latter remixed by
Faith & the Muse), but things get serious with
"Epitaph," and by the time you get to the
Light and Shadow remix of
"Slut" ("You are a slut, you're all alone!") you'll either be just hitting your stride or ready to head for the hills, depending on your leather-and-yelling threshold.
"Voiceless" is about as abrasive as
industrial music gets, but then things calm down a bit for the instrumental
"Dead Actor's Requiem." Singing
"Tiefster Winter" in English was a mistake -- this stuff really sounds much better in German -- but there's lots of fun to be had here for fans of louder-harsher-heavier
industrial music.
