Space Crystals 2000

Germany's Most Seminal Band

By SPRAGUE HOLLANDER





Space Crystals 2000 are from the northern Germany and manage to combine intensity, a tendency towards melancholy, and a notion of idealistic art in both their lyrics as well as their Gothic / Dark Wave music.

They feature female vocals with prominent guitars that strike a chord in the old school scene. The vocals are superb and enthralling and the guitar is rich and wispy, adhering to a very original style that keeps you comfortable enough to make party
