NamNamBulu has been rising at light speed in the electro scene, and "Alone" is another solid MCD from these up-and-comers.
To be honest, it doesn't really offer anything new in terms of style or sound, but it definitely isn't average, either. NamNamBulu have always had a very mature, polished sound that gets people moving and thinking.
The song "Alone" has some excellent lyrics that are brought to life with a great sense of emotion, courtesy of Henrik Iversen. Iversen has a very powerful voice that is unique and instantly recognizable. Vasi Vallis' song structures are excellent as usual.
I do have to say though that the opening of "Moments" was kind of disappointing, simply because it sounded just a little too much like VNV Nation's song "Epicentre". Actually, if Ronan Harris jumped on the mic, it would be a VNV Nation tune. "Moments" just has that VNV sound. I don't mean to take anything away from NNB, but this song was just lacked their distinctive sound. The 'Addicted to Endanger' re-mix of "Moments" fairs a little better, as the synth sound was changed up a little. But, the re-mix lacks Henrik's distinctive vocal presentation, and thus fails to satisfy me personally. The instrumental, "Contamination", is put together well but becomes overly repetitive after about three minutes. Overall, "Alone" is, as I previously stated, a solid addition to the NNB library, but doesn't offer anything overwhelming.
