English translation of the review of Marianne by Sven Freuen:
| Poesie Noire "Marianne" (Antler/SPV) |
| Last year Poesie Noire, who once were to class with EBM, covered the Sisters, Cure and others; today they are using - as every second Band - the rave rhythmic, which is supposed to give their still melancolic-dark songs a claim of danceability. Poesie Noire wouldn't have to curry favour to popular trends as they proofed years ago. But as they do so the galmour of independece crumbles away. Nevertheless songs like the wavic "Marianne" or the bombastic balladeque "Venice" are pieces, that please the heart through their class and individual instrumentalisation. Sven Freuen |
