On his year-2000 second album, \u201cVoltaire takes a positively Goth subject matter approach, but the music and feel of the songs are decidedly cabaret \/ goth cabaret.\u201d (Lexicon Magazine) \u201cAlmost Human\u00a0is clearly the work of a clever but twisted mind stuck somewhere between pop genius and 18th Century lunatic minstrel.\u201d (Meltdown, UK) \u201cSort of like Morrissey, given a string quartet &amp; cross bred with a bitter gothy version of Weird Al Yankovich, right down to the polka.\u201d\u2008(Dark Entries webzine)<\/p>\n<p><BR>On his debut release, Voltaire satirized the concept of Evil and the many ways it manifests itself in the world. Now, two years later, Voltaire returns with a more lighthearted look at life from the perspective of God&#8217;s angelic cast-off, Lucifer, driven by pride to attempt the first failed coup in history. <\/p>\n<p><BR>Singing in a deep, velvety croon with all the passion, sorrow and bitterness of a fallen angel, Voltaire has crafted an album full of haunting Old World melodies and memorable pop tunes that you won&#8217;t be able to get out of your head without a guillotine. Always the devilish wordsmith, Voltaire&#8217;s songs dance between the sardonic, the heartfelt and the absurd. Whether he is singing about a lost love or a public beheading, Voltaire effervesces in a playfully boisterous mix of wit and old-fashioned merriment. <P>Spontaneously full of mirth and dark humor, Almost Human blurs the gap between the 18th and 21st centuries. This is pop music for a parallel universe, where Morrissey is the Queen of England and electricity was never discovered. Cleverly combining classical instruments with present-day song structures, Voltaire&#8217;s New Wave band from the Victorian Era cavort through a cabaret suitable for the most contemporary of dance floors.<\/p>\n<h3>Back in Print for 2018 in new packaging. 4-panel digipak includes 8-page lyric booklet<\/h3>\n<p> <div class=\"socials\"><h2>love it, share it<\/h2><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.projekt.com%2Fstore%2Fproduct%2Fpro00098%2F&t=Aurelio+Voltaire%3A+Almost+Human+%28CD%29\" class=\"socials-small facebook-small\"  target=\"_blank\" title=\"Facebook\" >facebook<\/a>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/share?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.projekt.com%2Fstore%2Fproduct%2Fpro00098%2F&text=Aurelio+Voltaire%3A+Almost+Human+%28CD%29\" class=\"socials-small twitter-small\"  target=\"_blank\" title=\"Twitter\" >twitter<\/a>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.projekt.com%2Fstore%2Fproduct%2Fpro00098%2F&media=https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-content\/uploads\/PRO00098c.jpg&description=+%0D%0A+%0D%0A+\" class=\"socials-small pinterest-small\"  onclick=\"window.open(this.href); return false;\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Pinterest\" >pinterest<\/a>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/share?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.projekt.com%2Fstore%2Fproduct%2Fpro00098%2F&title=Aurelio+Voltaire%3A+Almost+Human+%28CD%29\" class=\"socials-small google-small\"  target=\"_blank\" title=\"Google\" >google<\/a>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><a href=\"http:\/\/projektrecords.bandcamp.com\/album\/almost-human\" TARGET=\"BLANK\"><IMG SRC=\"\/store\/assets\/images\/Button-Bandcamp.png\" width=\"129\"><\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":15938,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[54,574,98],"product_tag":[],"class_list":["post-1174","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-all","product_cat-voltaire","product_cat-goth","first","outofstock","taxable","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-simple","border"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/1174","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1174"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/15938"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1174"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=1174"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=1174"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=1174"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
