Melotron is a new band that is in the same vain as And One, meaning that while their music is straight-edged electro, the vocals are softer and more synth-pop orientated.  On this, their first single from their album (Möderwerk), Melotron shine with sharp sequences, crisp vocals and compelling beats.  Dein Meister is a straightforward club track that assaults both the body and the senses with pounding beats, strong sequencing, and distinct vocals.  Of the 4 mixes presented on this MCD, the Funker Vogt one stands out as the most powerful one.  In typical Funker fashion, Gerritt and company rely on the steady beat to carry the mix out. The Ravenous Remix is powerful is a different sense, in that this is a much less agitated version that is smooth from beginning to end.  The other pair of mixes are similar to the album version, one being a bit longer (Extended) and one being a tad shorter (Radio Version.)  2 Young To Die is a bonus, exclusive track and one of the few in which some of the vocals are actually sung in English.  Unfortunately it is only the chorus that is English and the remainder of the track is sung in German.  2 Young To Die is a superb track nonetheless and I'm surprised that it wasn't added onto their full length.  Fans of And One take note, Melotron may be just what you're looking for if you're beginning to grow weary of the new, lighter direction And One is taking.
