IN MITRA MEDUSA INRI – Without A View Of Things

The band IN MITRA MEDUSA INRI exists since the early 90s, and since then they release their records with beautiful wave-pop-songs – although they don’t belong to the well-known bands in this scene. Without A View Of Things is their sixth album, and again the duo presents melancholic music, that sometimes has more electronic and sometimes more guitarwave-elements. IN MITRA MEDUSA INRI did not change their sound, but we didn’t expect this, did we? Tracks such as Her Perfect Beauty or What I Think are nice songs with influences from The Cure and Clan of Xymox – sometimes. But IN MITRA MEDUSA INRI do not stand still, they put new elements in their songs, such as sound-gimmicks, the German voice on the title-track Without A View Of Things or heavier guitars sometimes. But fortunately they did not use the Futurepop-elements again; they tried this on the last album. All in all the album is more or less quiet – not until the last songs Calling It A Thing Is Wrong and When I’m At Home, they are a bit faster. As always with IN MITRA MEDUSA INRI: A beautiful work, but maybe you will miss the climax while listening to the whole record.
