Minerve – Repleased

Releasedate: 30-09-2011; Label: Echozone
By: Sabine van Gameren

Formed in 2002, German band Minerve released their debut album ‘Breathing Avenue’ in 2004. In the year 2010 the Electro-pop band released their album “Please” and anno 2011 the band comes with “Repleased” which is a remix album.

Beside remixes of Minerve songs by artists like !Distain, Destroid, Haujobb, Liquid Devine and several others, the guys also recorded an exclusive track, a cover of the Eurythmics track “Here Comes The Rain”, which is quite a nice add. Furthermore a bonus disc is included which contains all the material that came with the last singles, previously only available as download. The remixes vary from being really danceable towards more aggressive music and even though some songs have quite some remixes, they are quite variable and therefore won’t get boring. One of the most interesting remixes to find is Liquid Divine’s remix of the song “Please” it is one that works well but might keep you listening a bit more intense as well as there is lots to hear in that track.
Most interesting is surely the first disc, the second disc does not really bring much news for fans which already bought the digital material, but if you look at it all together it is quite a package.
