Paul Kalkbrenner - Superimpose

Having practically no redeeming qualities whatsoever, 'Superimpose' is painful proof of the fact that Bpitch Control indeed can put a foot wrong. At times reminding me of Laurent Garnier's crappiest achievements, Kalkbrenner's production is so frustratingly empty and boring that you'd sooner or later want to smash your head repeatedly into a brick wall, enjoy a glass of cyanide or slit your wrists. Well, at least I did.

However, Kalkbrenner did manage to turn out quite a reasonable performance on Bpitch Control's 'Gemeinsam' compilation, so i'm still anxious to hear what his latest, 'Self', sounds like. To redeem the 13 dreadful tracks on 'Superimposed', it would have to be completely different class, though.

This is one of the most uninspired records I've heard in a long time. Most tracks are based on a dull two-chord scheme, also the sound is uninteresting. Kalkbrenner tries different rhythm patterns throughout the tracks, but they don't produce interesting effects either, as these are patterns we've all heard million times before used in a much more inventive way. Incredible how I managed to listen to this album all the way through!
