专辑简介
From the ashes of NamNamBulu arise one of the most talked about electro bands of 2006. Vasi Vallis (NamNamBulu and Reaper) joins forces with singer Felix Marc (Diorama). Initial contact was first made during the European VNV Nation 'Formation Tour,' where Vasi (keyboards for VNV Nation ) and Felix (keyboards & background vocals for Diorama) first met. After this, things took off! Their first single 'Hypocrite,' was released in late 2005, with their first full length album to follow on April 25, 2006. These guys are on the move!
"Following the demise / split of Euro Electro-Pop sensations NamnamBulu - it was easy to predict that follow up project FROZEN PLASMA would return with as much energy and infection synth-tuned poppery than ever before! Already scoring a huge underground hit with dancefloor single 'Hypocrite' they return now with Brand New full length album 'Artificial'. With new singer Felix Marc (of DIORAMA) now incorporated into the line-up, NamNambulu / Reaper -sound-mastermind Vasi Vallis delivers 12 tracks and 75 minutes of mature, dreamy electro-pop - brimming with synth led melodies across a number of high class potential hits tracks such as 'Irony', 'Crossroads', 'Generations Of The Lost' and 'Condense'. Presented in the usual trademark minimalist artwork 'Artificial' contains all the ingredients to become another big hit within the dancefloor electro-pop scene!" --Storming the Base
"Namnambulu is dead, long live Frozen Plasma! Fans of Namnambulu can be delighted, since Frozen Plasma musicwise goes further where Namnambulu stopped. Felix Marc, the keyboardist and second voice in Diorama, is the new vocalist next to studio wizzard Vasi Vallis. Felix has a sensitive voice that perfectly fits the uptempo, emotional and danceable electropop of Frozen Plasma. We can conclude only the vocals have changed compared to the former incarnation. 'Hypocrite' is a nice song and is very well comparable with 'Memories' or 'Now or Never'. Next to the original we find this track in a club centered 'old school remix' with a length of 8 minutes and a minimal and dreamy instrumental 'Girls: dont cry! Remix'. 'Betrayed' is a really good song with 80's synthpop references. This single clearly shows no one has to mourn about the loss of Namnambulu, since the music of Frozen Plasma offers exactly the same." --Teknoir - Gothtronic
"Frozen Plasma's debut full length release, "Artificial", is a CD I've been waiting for with baited breath. I was a big fan of NamNamBulu and, as most fans know, Frozen Plasma is basically the second coming of NNB. What will it sound like? Will the vocals compare favorably? Will the lyrics still be heartfelt? These were some of the questions that were swimming around in my head. Well, let me answer those questions for you! Musically, Frozen Plasma picks up right where NNB left off. If anything, the music is even more catchy. The beats are great for the club floors, and offer a lot of variety in their tempos. The synth work by Vasi Vallis is also spectacular, as is to be expected. Felix Marc's vocal deliveries are also fabulous, and really help convey the emotion of the lyrics. His style is similar to NNB's Henrik Iversen, yet has a distinctive sound all his own. Finally, the lyrical content is emotional and heartfelt on "Artificial". I had a tough time trying to pick out specific songs from this CD as 'stand-outs', so I decided not to bother. The entire album is a stand-out! Frozen Plasma's "Artificial" is an excellent debut that I cannot recommend enough!" --Jeremy Davey - VIRUS Magazine
