Sasse
Shades Of Grey
In contrast to the title this song does not sound grey at all. The only dark shade might be the deep black colour of outer space at which the arpeggiated synthesizers are headed, but otherwise you get a light disco tune.

3eme Sexe
Tanzen
This French three-piece is all about analogue synthesizers, sixties beat and French chanson. Although they are sometimes reminiscent of Stereo Total, especially "Tanzen" and its Krautrock feeling show how versatile this band can be.

Cologne based band Von Spar took a break of three years after their last album. Their return is still marked by different influences ranging from Krautrock to Italo-Disco, but especially "TrOOps" shows a tendency to conventional song structures and an accessible sound.
