I can't remember exactly where I first heard Die Form, but I do remember that it was one of two compilations: it was either "Masochist 4" on the third edition of Cleopatra's Industrial Revolution, or "Doctor X" on a comp called Zauber Of Music Volume II that came with a magazine (iirc). I liked both of these, but Die Form was one of those bands that was hard to find back then, and mostly available only as expensive imports.
Die Form's history goes back to 1977, though earlier releases were more experimental and noise-oriented than the later techno-infused stuff they've become known for. Confessions was originally released in 1992, and is well along that techno-industrial path. Die Form's Phillipe Fichot is a master of synthesis and sound design, and I think that shows even in the older material, such as this album. Starting with the previous album, Corpus Delicti, the dark atmosphere is helped along by operatic vocals from Eiane P. Although that's the kind of thing that wouldn't work everywhere, it works unbelieveably well in the case of Die Form. Although much of their work tends to be on the atmospheric side of dance music, they also have a knack for tracks that are quite dark while also having an almost bouncy, driving dancefloor feel. This album contains some fine, early-ish examples of both of these kinds of tracks.

I think the first three tracks on Confessions are fine examples of the sound-sculpting prowess I mentioned. The opening track, "Elliptic", may not be as dance-friendly as much of the rest of the album, but it is chock full of very cool sounds. "Silent Order" follows, and is more of a floor filler... in fact, I think it may have been their first club hit. Although the sounds here may not have the "wow" factor of the previous track (and others), they work extremely well together, and the overall texture of the track is fantastic. Up next is "Intense Blue", which combines a sort of horror-soundtrack synth sequence with a pulsing, driving bassline and solid electronic percussion. Skipping ahead a couple of tracks, "Telemat" starts out with some nice ambience, breaking into another dancefloor pleaser with flanged-out synths and strange vocal effects. Jumping forward one track brings us to "Blind Obedience", which is a little slower, but full of cool sounds, and still quite dance-friendly. The rest of the album is great as well, including some pretty cool remixes.
Die Form is one of the top bands I go for when I'm in the mood for something dancey, and although I usually go for their newer stuff, this album is definitely worth having around.
