Am I the only person on the planet who actually enjoys this CD?  Angels Only! contains some of the most addicting music I've heard in awhile.  It's not just one or two pieces that strike me as compelling, but it's nearly every track.  The Concrete Garden is a wonderful, light dance track with deep vocals, nimble beats, and twittering sequences.  Transparent Frequencies follows the same pattern of programming and vocal delivery style that Evils Toy explored on Illusions.  It is also similar in lyrical content, in that it deals with extraordinary ideas (angels et.al.)  Evils Toy take a stab at a pseudo love song with Forever?!.  Composed of trippy beats, repetitive samples, and light vocals, this track is one of the most progressive pieces Evils Toy has ever composed.  What sounds to be a second part to PSI, Back on Earth is an alien electro dance piece with thumping beats, wet sequences, and dark vocals.  More synth-poppy in nature, A Girl Called Bitch is musically light and lyrically grudge-filled.  Angels Only! - Above is another lighter track with docile vocals and attractive sequences.  Colours Out of Space does have a slight 80's synth-pop feel to it.  Volker's unmistakable vocals drift effortlessly over top of the soothing synths and backing beats.  My only disappointment with this CD is the length.  These days's most full lengths are over 50 or even 60 minutes, but this one falls beneath the 45-minute mark.  Aside from that, I think this is a brilliant CD full of positive energy and melodic electronics.
