MOEV - Suffer
Songs:  5  Time:  29:55
A blast from the past.  Moev returns after quite some hiatus.  First off, don't expect the retro synth-poppy sounds of Moev of the past.  There are a few changes in their sound, the foremost being the addition of a female fronting the band.  Secondly, their music has progressed and morphed into a more tech-electro sound that is more upbeat and denser than their previous style.  Suffer is presented in two forms, the first being the original and the second being the extended, Mindfuck mix.  Suffer has a dash of everything in it, Swamp Terrorists style break-beats, breathy female vocals, and interesting bridges.  Complications has more of a standard beat with shared male/female vocals and bleepy synths. This is a more accessible dance styled track.   With Crossfire Moev experiment with mixing together Euro fashioned noise with twisted vocals and punkish sequences.  While this isn't the best track on this EP, it sure stands out as the most different.  Lastly, Saviour comes across as a more coldwave structured piece, complete with guitars and repetitive synth lines.  The Suffer EP is a radically different style for Moev and does prove that things do change with time.
