Electronic
programming mixed with slight guitar, soothing synth melodies, piano,
drum machines and beautiful female vocals that sing both in English
and German is what the songs on this album offer. La Floa Maldita is
a male and female duo from Germany that make some very quality music.
The singing ranges from chanting opera style to faster more mainstream
pop. The songs also range from slow and melodic soundscapes to faster
paced alternative rock. For the most part the songs are very enchanting
like DELERIUM. The problem that I have with this album is that a lot
of the songs sound too similar to each other. There's not a lot of changes
from one track to the next. Also, the music is a little too tame and
romantic for my tastes. It's just not dark enough. However, the songs
are of a very high quality and do have major crossover appeal. This
band creates a sound that many could enjoy. I was a bit disappointed
that only one song here combines both male and female vocals. It would
have added a lot more variety to the album if they combined male and
female vocals more often. There are two remixes at the end of the album
that I feel are the best this CD has to offer. They come off like electro-industrial
with fast paced rhythms and beats. These two songs would be excellent
on the dance floor. This album would have been a lot better if there
were more energetic songs like these here. Right now it's just a little
too mellow.
