Hanin Elias – In Flames (1995-1999)

Unlike other DHR releases, there is much more focus on ambiance, on beatless tracks, on introverted ages... of strange, peculiar, enigmatic sounds... spoken words on a background of drones and strings and noises... like an intergalactic lament, inexplicably received on your headphones at 3 am in the morning while the sky is still blackened outside...

this makes it one of the highlights of the DHR catalogue for me.
but make no mistake. despite this cornucopia of subliminal beauty, it's also one of the most aggressive, bold, blood-thirsty... who is screaming wilder and louder, the drums, the distortion, or hanin?

a real gem within the already precious catalogue of DHR.

Are there any informations about three tracks on this album ?

B-side track Tape 1 and Tape 2 as for the last track called "Live" ?

Also the poster/inlay found inside this record state a slight error it says that the track "Sirens" is on here but in fact is on the 12" DHR25 https://discogs.versitio.com/Hanin-Elias-In-Flames-EP/master/45118 .

About this record it is a neat and yes it has the 606 , 303 , Atari and Commodore-64 sounds like other DHR artist from that era but i agree that Hanin Elias isn't on the same level as to what Alec Empire, Shizuo, Patrick Catani ( E-de-Cologne , Ec8oR ) and Christoph de Babalon .

Biggest negative on the Digital Hardcore Recordings label is that all these women are screaming too much their hatred and other problems that burdens many times . Which is why Lolita Storm has ruined the DHR act with their over the top feminist nonsense crap . The only artist that is on the mature side is Nic Endo even though she isn't that good to be in the Atari Teenage Riot band and would be much better as a solo artist imho .

Compared to other DHR releases, this album is very patchy and tends towards shouty/screamy vocals mixed with beats you've certainly heard elsewhere on DHR. Unless you like angry feminist lyrics or annoying, shouty women you should probably look elsewhere within this label. I would recommend Fidel Villeneuve for the same level of intensity but less irritation.
