Paul Kalkbrenner - Altes Kamuffel

PiXEL_SLAvE, Aug 31, 2007

These tracks are nothing short of amazing. Each is permeated by a unique melody that employs slightly abrasive and discordant sounds, yet imparts a delicate, almost childlike whimsicality. The percussion is similarly deft, using sharp, electronic samples reminiscent of more energetic styles of techno, with the subtlty necessary to suit the mood set by the melodies. The basslines in each track serve to provide inexorable momentum, using rich sounds that aid in creating an almost tangible ambience.
