Not many bands endure being in existence for so long. Still fewer projects pull the trick to remain relevant all these years. From their early beginnings as a figurehead of Dark Electro across the unrivalled success in the front row of Gothic Rock to their more current, artistic records brimful with theatralic grandezza, Thomas Rainer and Sonja Kraushofer established themselves as the grand maestros behind the keys of human emotions. Over and over again, they fathomed the battlefields of inner conflict and valour, of broken hearts and arising hope. Their love of music, their dedication to their art made them survive 20 years atop an inexorable industry. This is what invigorated them, united them and made them all the more determined to continue giving more than the others. No wonder that celebrating the 20th anniversary with a dull best-of compilation was unthinkable for the iconic duo. The sheer amount of passion L'ÂME IMMORTELLE inject into the extraordinary compilation "Unsterblich - 20 Jahre L'ÂME IMMORTELLE" is nothing short of striking. Much adored classics from two decades of darkly romantic music history, compiled from every single chapter, every single official release and every single form of artistic grandeur blaze in the light of an entirely new sound. By teaming up with Krischan Jan-Eric Wesenberg (ROTERSAND) and Gregor Beyerle (SKYLA VERTEX, REAPER) a sound came to life marrying the Electro bones of their early days to the production standards of today, thereby creating something new and stunningly epic. In a unheard-of show of strength the band and their producers succeeded in conserving the early pieces' unparalleled aura and yet creating an all-new listening experience.

Press Quotes

1998: In einer Zukunft aus Tränen und Stahl 'While keeping elements of their previous album, the essence of darkwave has been replaced in parts by a harsher vocal sound, ala Project Pitchfork, or Sleep of Reason - 'dance goth'. Strong beats, romantic elements, effected male vocal mix with a strong melodic female voice.'

1999: Wenn der letzte Schatten Fällt '(...) Their sound has become softer than on the second CD, and most of the songs are slowler and more romantic, much in the way of their debut, and with a heavy dark-wave touch. Tracks like Another day, the original

2001: Dann Habe Ich Umsonst Gelebt 'The point here is that this album is severely missing exactly what made the last three so great: standout tracks. Though weak in comparison to other, L'Ame releases, 'Dann Habe...' isn't without its good points none

2003: Als die Liebe starb 'Electric and erotic, this album offers both grace and sensuality. L'Ame Immortelle are still at the heart and soul of the synth and electronic sound but there is a lot more to this album (disarming even the severest critics).
