De/Vision is a German synthpop musical group. The band started as a quartet consisting of Thomas Adam, Steffen Keth, Stefan Blender, and Markus Ganssert. They formed the band in 1988. The name De/Vision is a play on words. The majority of the band's lyrics are in English, but they have had some songs in German. Markus left the band in 2000. In the same year Steffen started a side project as the vocalists with Green Court, called 'Green Court featuring De/Vision'. The band with remaining members Thomas Adam and Steffen Keth were then signed to Drakkar Records and Sony BMG in Europe, and Dancing Ferret Discs in North America. The band is currently signed to Metropolis Records in North America. Since 1994 the band has released a new studio album of original material roughly every 1.5 years, until their latest album Rockets and Swords.

De/Vision is back on track. This is the first studio album since “Rocket + Swords” (2012) so I was wondering how Steffen Keth and Thomas Adam have accomplished their new opus. The successful story of the German masters of synth-pop saw the light of day in the late 80s while the band became an uncontestable leading electro-pop formation during the 90s.
De/Vision remains faithful to their melancholic moods and melodic choruses. “13” reflects all the required elements to achieve a great synth-pop release. I can’t say that there’s a new noticeable element running through “13” although the global sound treatments became rawer and heavier blasting. There still is a link with Depeche Mode, but the great opening cut “Who Am I” reveals the heavier arrangements and production. De/Vision has been hit by an industrial ogre and that’s a damned good thing as the sound features great sonic manipulations. The debut is absolutely amazing.
Quite progressively the duo moves back towards familiar paths, which are 100% De/Vision-minded. The production reflects all the intelligence and genius of this band. The songs feature great effects and the typical moody passages. This is not exactly the kind of composition that has been made in a hurry. You’ll notice the great progression of the song structures, which in the end is once again driven by rawer sound treatments.
“13” is not exactly innovating although reveals certain rough sonic manipulations. The songs however never turned into a kind of industrial-pop, but simply remain characterized by this familiar and brilliant spirit this band has composed through the years. This work again reveals a sacred match between music and vocals. De/Vision clearly took their time to accomplish one more noticeable release. It all becomes clear now that age has no real impact on their creativity while the talent is only increasing.
