4 out of 5 stars This one is a good place to start.......2002-07-07

While "Thalia" isn't Mephisto Walz' first album, it's probably the best introduction to their style. Good variety among the songs, nice dark atmospheres, and the gentle voice of Christianna.

"Along The March" is my favorite MW song to date. A funeral rhythm with lots of reverb and mystery. "Euphrosyne" is a good dance track with strong melody. "Thalia" suggests the influence of Christian Death - ain't nothin' wrong with that. This vibe continues on "The Hunter's Trail." Fortunately, you can hear a sample of their anthem (track 5), a catchy rock-waltz.

If they'd released "No Way Out" in '86, MTV would've played the accompanying video nonstop for weeks. The cover of Jefferson Airplane's "White Rabbit" is a good example of psychadelic goth. Christianna shows off her bad-girl vocals on the punk-friendly "T-200 (Kokoro)." "A Precession of The Equinoxes" is a sturdy new-wave dance track with no words and a strong beat. "Aglaia at Auroras" is a mood piece reminiscent of Die Form.

Yeah, I don't know the meaning behind some of the song titles either. Christianna has clearly read more books than I have. They have a new album on the way. Say it with me: Yaaaay!
