Advent, The - Recreations

Above comments are a little misleading. Mark Broom's rework is probably the most surprising, and probably the one to chase. Though Broom is known for a particularly aggressive strain of British techno, he reverts Advent's relentlessly fast pace to a slower, funkier one, and overlays a simple but enticing layer of synths for an all-around sexy track. Portugal's WLA Garcia puts forth a darker, colder version of the Advent original, and Parisio's flavor is on par. This is a quality compilation with an assembly of fine producers--well worth the time and money.

Adam Beyer, Rino Cerrone, Gaetano Parisio, Mark Broom,...big names in the scene indeed. So this means that the expectations of this 2x12" were fairly high. The first track from Adam Beyer is a good pumping one (a bit funky to)with a nice break. The Mark Broom remix isn't funky, hard or pumping, it' s just boring techno (rate: 4/10). The same for the Player remix. WLa Garcia intentions were OK but the track is just to noisy and busy. On the the C and D side there are two good tracks: Gaetano Parisio gives a more italian touch to the B-track on KR 04. That's the only good track on the second record! My impression of this double pack? Money! They wanted to make money in a quick way. The original versions on Kombination Research are much, much better!!
