If it ain't broke, why fix it?

That would more or less sum up Pan-Pot's debut album, "Pan-o-rama". There is nothing here this modern european tidal wave of minimal techno has not provided us with. Slick production, subtle bleeps and blops, with an underlying groove and meaningless, pointless yet somehow infectious samples and/or vocals. The same formula throughout the album.
Not necessarily bad, just tiresome. I guess Pan-Pot had no intensions to reinvent the wheel in the first place. If providing a few dance floor numbers and a couple of quality listens is all you're after, go for it. If you have any sort of higher ambition and seek a deeper meaning in music, skip it. It's cool to listen to the album through, and it isn't a painful sit down either, but it's material which is boring by the tenth listen if you're deaf on one ear.
Best track is Charly, no doubt about that. Big in clubs, party goers love it, might even become a minimal anthem of some kind. But it rolls along better than anything I found here.
Can this avalanche of minimal reincarnate itself before drowning in its own swimming pool?
