Inhalt’s Vehicle is the first non-reissue I’ve heard from Dark Entries but you’d never know it. Aside from some additional production gloss this easily could have emanated from the early 1980s; German to the core and set to the time of a twitching clock. Synths, gloomy, dark nights, heartache, more synths, sin, regret, heartache, more synths… Even if you’ve heard other examples of it recently that don’t set as high a bar, don’t hold that against Inhalt, as they transcend the hype by whipping you into a trance and holding you, cross-eyed, until they let you down not-so-gently at the end of each side. They use the technology of modern times to jump-kick their compositions to life, rather than adorn them to death. Love the exploratory key strokes of “Walking on Glass,” though each track makes its case. If you know this label you know what to expect, and you will be rewarded here.
