Album a Day: Wolfsheim - No Happy View

Debut album from beloved german synthpop/EBM band Wolfsheim. Great album with fewer of the more well known Wolfsheim songs, however it also happens to feature one of my favorite songs: The Sparrows and The Nightingales. What I find particularly interesting about this album is that it was released in '92 and yet doesn't at all feel dated. I think you can really make a strong case that this album was one of the top sounds to help set the tone of synthpop (and what EBM would later become) for the next decade (also see De/Vision for that). Favorite Tracks: ...Can Manage... f/Marlon Shy, It's Not Too Late, and The Sparrows And The Nightingales
