Geoff Pinckney and Peter Steer are TENEK. After the successful single release "Blinded By You" earlier this year the symphatic duo from the UK has some good news for us: their 2nd album "On The Wire" is ready to be released on September 6th. We got the possibility to pre-listen to the songs and I was pleasantly surprised. The album is a bit different to most of the releases these days, it's more optimistic and the music is creating a good atmosphere. Tenek send out positive vibes to infect us with a kind of nostalgic feeling combined with modernity. At some stages you feel like to be catapulted back to a dance floor in the 80's... strobe lights flash, the air full of mist, a heavy bass thumps towards you ... colour loops. Bits of the past, present and future, everything can be found on this album. For me the album has an interesting twist to it as it seems to be splited into two parts: relaxed Synth Pop with floating sounds on the one hand... funky, hard grinding electro for all dance-addicted on the other hand. My personal favourite is still "Blinded By You" which is in my opinion the strongest song on the album. The devilish good tune will be running around inside your head for days, believe me! "No Time For Fighting" and "On The Wire" caught also my attention as they are very powerful, energetic and melodic.
