4.0 out of 5 stars LAST OF THE GOOD ONES !!!, 25 Aug 2006
By JUAN MARTIN GABASTOU (Weston Hills, FL United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
Up until and including this one, her fifth studio album, and with the exception of the very experimental Nusexmonkrock,Nina's albums had been a very upbeat affair. On this one, she amalgamates the successful tecno beats of her Giorgio Moroder-produced album, ¨Fearless ¨, with a more back-to the-roots punknroll-guitar-driven sound in the style of ¨Unbehagen ¨. The result is not very homogenous but very pleasant and full of energy. She chose a lower, raspier, growlish vocal register oppossite to her former operatic gymnastics. The sound is excellent, witha marked emphasis on the extremes of the audio range (great bottom end and upper treble ) After this one, nothing would be the same, at least to me.

4.0 out of 5 stars Primal punk, 28 Jun 2009
By Pieter "Toypom" (Johannesburg) - See all my reviews
(TOP 10 REVIEWER)   
This 1985 album is less experimental than its predecessors of 82 and 83, containing both pop/rock and primal punk. Nina's ecstasy starts with Universal Radio, a catchy rock song with skittering percussive beats and an arresting vocal arrangement. Perhaps inspired by Sid Vicious, Nina interprets the Frank Sinatra classic My Way, and she does it her way in German at breakneck speed. Pure punk is also the style of 1985 Ekstasy Drive whilst Prima Nina In Ekstasy is a kind of funky punk with a nod to hip-hop in the lyrics.

The religious thread that surfaced on Nunsexmonkrock and runs through Fearless finds expression here on Gods of Aquarius, Spirit In The Sky and The Lord's Prayer, the last being much shorter, faster and less cacophonous than the version by Siouxsie & The Banshees on Join Hands. Unlike that one, it's not quite a medley although it does encompass elements from Aram Khachaturian and Gayne's Sabre Dance. By contrast, on the Swans album Ten Songs for Another World the prayer is rendered as a simple recital over ominous atmospherics that concludes the song Drink To Me Only With Thine Eyes.

Gods Of Aquarius revisits the UFO theme whilst the lilting Spirit in the Sky has pulsating percussion and soulful singing punctuated by shouted vocals. The most experimental track here is Atomic Flash Deluxe, made up of English, French, German & Japanese lyrics. Following the aforementioned fast & furious rendition of The Lord's Prayer, the album concludes with a brief German track Gott im Himmel which is a repetition of the title with plenty of dramatic echo and reverberating vocals. IN EKSTASY is very much a punk album in style and in the seeming tributes to Sid Vicious and the Banshees revealed by the choice of material.
