I must say that I have a hard time liking this album. First track is really good. Music on "Echoes..." also lovely, but why did TG cut the lyrics out here and on so many other songs on this album?? I mean, what is a "Remake"? IMHO basically a remake
keeps the substance of the original. And then, there can be something added, or changed, or put in a different context. But here, in most of the "remakes" the substance (i.e. music + lyrics) mostly is just ignored. I'm afraid exactly this process is what I always defined as a crappy remix.
Ok, here the remixes are from the artist itself. And apart from "Bärenfels" the music is good. So, if you look at this opus as a remix album it's interesting.
Well, after the amazing Disclosure it's hard not to be disappointed, I guess. It's surely not as bad as the text above may sound. But there is just not much to be enthusiastic on Afterwords. Many tracks are "nice" (all three tracks starting with an A
), Gemini III is pretty good, maybe the best of the Geminis. But only the first track is a winner for me.
