„Kissing“ features 9 tracks including 2 cover versions (Placebo’s „The Crawl“ and the Velvet Underground classic „Venus in Furs“). The other songs were all written by SIn. Although the sound has obviously more percussion and ethnical elements than the „Insinuation“ album it still identifies as a typical Sin record: Mona Moore’s deep, sultry, breathy voice backed by looping vibrating 3D electronica wraps itself around this collection of great songs. The dreamy - occasionaly rough - yet sizzling athmospere make this eerie, anthemic, downtempo home-listening of the highest quality

Sin: And I Sigh


1: And I Sigh (original version)
2: And I Sigh (Freedom Satellite remix)
2: And I Sigh (Kirlian remix)

Track 1 is Sin’s own version of "„And I Sigh". Loads of congas, timbales together with some latin piano parts, strings and a simple bassline back Mona Moore’s deep, sultry, breathy voice in this vibrating, addictive sorta-latin hum along thing. Vienna based Freedom Satellite (from Vienna Scientists fame) deliver a sunny excursion into their very own downtempo latino world. Tons of congas, shakers and and an acoustic guitar riff to kill for create that laidback chilly groove the Freedom Satellite guys are best known for. Nicely blending with Mona Moore’s swaying voice. Completly new interpretation of the theme, very open-airy, summer-style. New York producer and deejay Kirlian aka Abe Duque (Disko B. & Tension Rec) takes you to the darker jazzier sides of Queens. Very slow. Kicking with a dancehalll style bassdrum with lots of latin percussion. With jazz-licks that make you come right in your pants. And on top of it all the vocals like the icing of a cake take you onto a trippy journey into some dark urban night.

Some things never change and sometime it is for g.o.o.d. the dark pearl of SIN was there ripe in its oyster long before teenage angst had invaded electronic music, the weltschmerz from the likes of portishead had turned into empty formalism and former SIN-member richard d. had launched a project that added a "k&" to his initial. New ground was broken and barely anyone noticed. what a micro-size backyard industry had welded together: a redefinition of cool, a fine tuned seismographic instrument for reality checks. Against all odds nothing was lost, the brilliance remains. Heartbroken electronica, lovelorn songs, very slow and very moving. Dont be fooled by the fact that SIN`s sound is easy, warm & soothing, this is no invitation to lounge music mongers and boutique sound suckers. This is a strong brew with countless side-effects. still you could take in these songs like exotic long-drinks, but only when your heart is switched off while listening. in fact very dirty tricks are played here on the common images of glamour, desire & things available for money. Welcome to the world of tortured super-models, eartha kitted vocalisms and suddenly-being-not-so-sure-anymore. This is essentialism vs. mere fx, movement vs. hedonism. Its not by chance that the members of sin are on the forefront of the counter-measures against the current austrian right-wing government. If david lynch would have looked a lttle bit further he, some years ago, would have opted for SIN as his euro partners in crime, rather than the tasteless crypto-teutonism of rammstein. But the world is full of sin. Get your tax-free absolution today.
