CHAIN D.L.K. - 11/2003

Distorted Reality are American Deep Red-vocalist Martha M. Arce and German keyboard player programmer Christian Kobusch. Together they produce and explore "The Fine line between Love and Hate" with a musical journey that embraces EBM, synth-pop and techno in various aspects and combinations. The hard hitting hammering beats drive the duo through electronic soundscapes of synth textures and carefully molded sounds, enriched by distorted and processed voices and melodic vocal lines occasionally stepping into territories of electro-pop. The end result is pleasing and stands out in the crowd. The CD was produced by Bruno Kramm of the legendary german duo Das Ich and includes remixes by Assemblage 23, Forma Tadre, Null Device, cut.rate.box, Propaganda, Noyce (TM) and Sabotage.
