Opera Multi Steel - K7 Tapes Archives MCMLXXXIII MCMLXXXVII
Review by Gina McClain
Opera Multi Steel's album K7 Tapes Archives MCMLXXXIII MCMLXXXVII is a captivating journey through the French band's early years. The album features a collection of previously unreleased tracks from the band's cassette tape era, showcasing their unique blend of coldwave, post-punk, and darkwave.
The album opens with the haunting "La Nuit des Fées," a track that sets the tone for the rest of the album. The band's use of atmospheric synths and haunting vocals create a sense of otherworldliness that is both eerie and captivating.
Throughout the album, Opera Multi Steel's signature sound shines through, with tracks like "Mémoires d'un Autre Temps" and "Les Yeux de la Nuit" showcasing the band's ability to create dark, brooding soundscapes. The use of electronic elements, such as drum machines and synthesizers, adds a futuristic edge to the music, creating a sound that is both timeless and ahead of its time.

Dope!!!
2023-04-11
They had a slow song that was kind of a ballad with female vocals that I used to absolutely love. Anybody happen to know which one I'm talking about?
2023-04-11
Alguém sabe me explicar por que eles foram tão populares em São Paulo nos anos 90? É que eu não tinha nascido ainda.
2023-04-11
Que pena que eu não moro em SP e nem era nascida na época, a cena gótica tava com todo o vapor. Ouvi falar de altos shows massa na década de 90! Vários que eu queria ter tido a oportunidade de ver e provavelmente nunca irei :(
Mas eu fantasio muito com essa época.
