Although this is the first Die Form release that I have experienced, I believe
I can accurately state, that "Duality" is probably the pinnacle of their
career. The title alone succinctly states what is obvious, the perfectly matched
musical personas of Philippe Fichot and Eliane P alongside industrialized
rhythms and haunting melodies. Each member of the French duo executes their
chosen task with military precision while still yielding a bit of each persona
to the other's art form. In the case of Eliane, her angelic vocals wrap
around Philippe's soothing atmospheres, while at other times, his
rigid, metallic percussion is shrewdly caustic next to her Harpy-like
throat work. Philippe even sneaks in vocals both naturally sensuous and
mechanically evil. Die Form are a band who have spent the better part of a
decade refining their natural Neo-Classical harmonies within the an artificial
realm that is Electro with spectacular results.
Die Form is: Philippe Fichot and Eliane P.
