Various - Tranceworld - Underwater Sunlight

techsoul, Nov 20, 2007

One of the better compilations from the !HYPE/Technoline-Label. If you are interested in getting to know the earlier, a little more "commercial" works of some legendary electronic music artists from Cologne like Mike Ink, Jörg Burger (Bionaut, Modernist) or Walker, then pick up this compilation.

This is early cologne acid with a lot of spheric synthpads, excellent 909/808-programming and a sometimes quite melodic pop-appeal that never gets cheesy or cheap. You can almost feel the sparkling creativity the mentioned artist had in their early days... splendid!

Plus, you get early Speedy J/The Melody, Mike Dunn (QX1), Mixmaster Morris, Steve Silk Hurley for your listening pleasure...

Still, the standout track on this compilation is a 12 (yes, twelve!) minute version of Space Cube's wonderful "Dolphins" - slower and much deeper than the version usually published on vinyl and other compilations, which is only 7 minutes and more uptempo. A real masterpiece which doesn't seem to be available on any other release - so grab this one, while it's still afforable!
