VNV Nation’s eighth studio album from 2011 is one of their best. The aesthetics of the streamlined cover come back everywhere, both on paper and in music. It is like looking back to history to find inspiration for the future. For those who do not know them at all: VNV Nation are a German-Irish EBM band (or rather, Futurepop as they call it).
Automatic contains many beauties, but maybe the best song in their repertoire, and usually the one that closes concerts, is Nova.
While I was looking for the version of this album that I have, I found out that mine is actually a misprint. On side B of the first record, a part of one song is missing. It stops earlier than it should. This always escaped my attention. I also own the CD version of the album, and for reasons of wear and convenience, I usually listen to that version. It is silly that I have to admit that on this website, dedicated to the listening of vinyl!
