APOPTYGMA BERZERK - Paranoia
Songs: 3 Time:  20:16
It’s been awhile since we last heard from Apoptygma Berzerk, but Stephan and company are back with a brand new single from their forthcoming album.  Paranoia has proved itself to be a definitive dance floor packer here in central Florida and most likely elsewhere too.  Imagine Love Never Dies times two.  Every aspect of this new track, from the quippy sequences to the solid beats to the light vocals, is catchy.  Of the two versions of Paranoia, I found the original to be the best.  The Haunted Club Version differs in that the beats are slightly distorted and pushed to the front of the mix.  The bonus track is an Extended Version of Nothing Else Matters.  This track begins as if it were recorded live, but once the song picks up and the vocals are introduced, the crowd noise subsides and the song takes off.  As far as cover songs go, Nothing Else Matters sounds very much like the original, but with an added electronic edge and the implementation of some female vocals during the chorus.  For fans of Apoptygma Berzerk, Paranoia is well worth getting.
