Norken - Spring Themes

Like a breath of fresh air, Norken's "Spring Themes" eases over you like a gentle wave. The sounds are all well done and there is this gentle ambient house thing going on all the way through it. After a decent warmup of "Spring Theme" the real string of very good songs begin. "Fern"'s melody is deep and memorable, think of that really great melody from SAWII, it sounds just like it! This is real good driving music by the way! Every sound is nicely placed in "East". While the minimal songs of Perlon, Kompakt will after time, just fade away like a bad memory ,you have great techno like this. Emotion, presence and just terrific production makes this one of the best records of 2001. Call it techno, call it minimal, just call it well done music.
