I prefer the earlier, officially unreleased, albums 11:11 and Songs. Both Soviet Kitsch and Begin To Hope are somewhat overproduced, especially the last album. Regina is best when it's just her and the piano. It also gives more room to her vocal abilities and improvs. Samson is an old song from the Songs album and it sounds much better in its original version.
