Synth-pop, Electronic | Label: Synthetic Symphony | # SPV 085-63662 CD

Melotron formed in 1995 and reached success relatively quickly while touring Germany with European phenomenon And One. After three albums on Zoth Ommog, Bloodline, SPV, respectively, the band is poised for global synthpop domination with the release of ''Sternenstraub,'' their fourth and, perhaps, strongest release to date.

Melotron's follow-up to the breakthrough Weltfrieden is a collection of deliberate, beat-persistent EBM dressed up with melodic sensibilities that wouldn't be out of place on a BT record. This isn't a slight. U.S. versions of Sternenstaub feature "Fogle Mir Ins Licht," a Weltfrieden holdover with fabulous supporting vocals from Technoir's Julia Beyer. Her warm tones are a perfect foil to Andy Krueger's somewhat detached style, and scatter sunlight across the track's clattering sheet metal percussion. That mechanistic feel is never very far away on Sternenstaub; it tinges the title track, and spills solvent all over the introduction of "Der Anfang." But Melotron switches gears rapidly, dropping into a pulsating groove before breaking things wide open with a truly heartfelt chorus. Later, "Erwartungen" and "Wünch Mich Nicht Zurück" pull a similar trick, lightening up chilly drum programming and moody synths with hopeful melodies and more solid vocals from Krueger. Best might be "Manchmal," with its vintage electronica patter and downright breezy chorus. The first Melotron release with solid U.S. distribution, Sternenstaub should serve as a solid introduction to the band's nuanced blend of classic electronic body music and larger dancefloor realities.

Review by Johnny Loftus, Allmusic.com

Melotron is one of Germany's most beloved electro bands. Until now, none of their releases have ever made it to a domestic US record label. Sternenstaub is an excellent introduction for fans who have yet to get ahold of some of their material. The music is purely electronic and lands somewhere in the realm between synthpop and ebm. Their lyrics are exclusively German (which is rare for German bands of their type, oddly), so it's best enjoyed by those who have at least a basic understanding of the language. The first 6-7 tracks on Sternenstaub are all great, with exciting build-ups and thundering bass. Kein Problem, Folge mir ins Licht, and Der Anfang are most likely to become the fan favorites with their club friendly beats. Unfortunately, with the exception of Manchmal, the songs found on the later part of the album are mediocre and forgettable. Even so, 7 good songs are enough to ensure that Sternenstaub will get it's share of play time with fans and DJs alike. If you're a synthpop/ebm listener, it's worth the purchase.
