Asylum Party are less synth-reliant than the majority of their French coldwave contemporaries, and perhaps what makes "Borderline" all the more impressive is the fact that it is essentially a guitar driven album. This is possibly one of the warmest sounding coldwave albums out there, and it benefits tremendously from the production, which takes this record almost into dream-pop territory. Unlike Martin Dupont or Trisomie 21, Asylum Party excelled not in their ability to sound automated, but rather in their wall-of-sound approach to gothic post-punk.
