For seven years in the making, Desar's debut release isn't all that
spectacular. Sure it is good Electro Goth music, but it isn't anything to halt
press production schedules over. The vocals are the usual male Gothic affair,
with deep throat work and falsettos aplenty. Musically, most of the album is
electronic ranging from lulled love songs to more upbeat ballads. Also
snuck onto the album are a handful of original piano instrumentals which seem
out of place alongside the lush electronic programming of the rest of the
record. Yet, there is where the musical skills of Lucien Desar really begin to
show. Anyone can compose music on a computer these days, but few can
write original sonatas. Still, I would have preferred for the two distinct
musical styles to have appeared on separate records due to the odd
juxtaposition between them.
