CHRISTIAN VANDER: TRISTAN ET ISEULT [AKA: ẀURDAH ÏTAH] (OST)

This was originally released as a movie soundtrack. It's very similar in style to "MDK" but without the relentless chanting. Also we're down to four members for this one with Vander on drums and piano, Top on bass, Blasquiz does a little percussion, but he and Stella Vander are here to do the vocal melodies. All the songs blend into one another except for song 6 making it seem like your listening to two long tracks that flow beautifully.

"Malawelekaahm" hits the ground running with piano, vocals and drums. It calms down quickly with soft vocals and the rest of the band is playing quieter now. "Bradia Da Zimehn Iegah" features theatrical vocals as it starts to get tense. "Fur Dihhel Kobaia" is a great uptempo song with prominant drumming, female vocals and a frenzied ending. "Blum Tendiwa" builds up to a point and then starts to do the oposite as it calms down. This is really good.

"Wohldunt Mem Deweless" is all about the male and female vocals as they rise to a fevered pitch. "Wainsaht" features Vander's strange vocals as piano and drums lead the way instrumentally as usual on this album. "Wlasik Steuhn Kobaia" has some great drumming followed by a piano solo. "Sehnnteht Dros Wurdah Sums" features male and female vocals that build to a dramatic ending. "C'est La Vie Qui Les A Menes La !" has a drum and piano melody and the vocals are cool 4 minutes in. "Ek Sun Da Zess" has some great fat bass lines while the final track has more of Vander's crazy vocals.

This really seems like a companion to "MDK" with each album having it's own good qualities.
