En Esch (instruments and vocals) with additional vocals by Susanne Sprenger. "Confidence" by Esch/Bley.
Overall impression: excellent. En's only single from "Cheesy" is a wonderfully dance-y song and is supplemented by 2 great extended dance remixes. Electronic in nature (ie no power guitar riffs), the 3 tracks harken back to the days of old, such as KMFDM's classic album "Naive". But, this is the updated dance sound of KMFDM through the capable hands and ears of En Esch, thus the songs have a certain sexiness and originality to them unlike the majority of songs Sascha K. comes up with. This single is a wonderful complement to the album. If only Esch churned out quality albums and singles (like "Confidence" and "Cheesy") the way KMFDM churns albums and singles out. I'd take En's output over Sascha's anyday.
