B.W.H. - Livin' Up / Stop - 22-Jul-08 06:30 AM
This might be the best italo-disco record that I own. Compared to other italo records - which mostly have a vocal and instrumental version of one song - this one provides 2 brilliant and totally different songs. I just can't decide which one is the best of the two, "Livin' Up" is the more melancholic song but it nevertheless has quite a funky synthline and superb vocals. "Stop" is the floor burner with it's superb fat bass and simple, yet effective synthline which will make your body move instantly. I think the (short) vocals only appear two times in the beginning of the song, the remaining +/- 3 minutes are pure instrumental funkiness. Hard to find but well worth the effort. Timeless. A true gem. 5/5

Woob - Woob - 05-Feb-08 12:56 AM
This must be the most overrated ambient album that I know, although it's not even ambient, it's downtempo.

OK, it's well produced and it's definitely a good chill out album for the background while doing something else. But this is certainly NOT an album that takes you on a 'huge trip to an unknown universe' or whatever. I just don't understand all the fuzz and myth about this album, and the whole label as well. I got this CD for free, and concerning the silly prices nowadays, I'm glad I didn't spend a penny on it.

This is just average downtempo that reminds me of Roedelius from time to time. There's much better downtempo out there (check the whole Apollo catalogue for example) and way much cheaper.

And believe me, this album doesn't have to grow on me as I have it since it's release, it just doesn't do anything magic in my head.

Studio Pankow - Linienbusse - 04-Feb-08 09:49 AM
This must be the most underrated and overseen release from 2005. Unbelievable that so little rumor was given to this awesome album. This should get the same attention that DeepChord etc. get, nothing less.

This is deep, minimal dubby music, very atmospheric and understated. The album as a whole feels unhurried, tracks such as ‘zoologischer garten’ - talking 'bout dub, you won't get any closer with this, this is much more original and richer than FE the Rhythm & Sound label which recycles the same loops over and over again and get away with it - and ‘ruhleben’ evolve and grow at their own pace (12 and 17 minutes in length respectively), without ever feeling too ponderous.

Linienbusse is extremely engaging, it sucks you in and affects you with a narcotizing power. The sound of a lot of the tracks on here is surprisingly full for something that employs so little in the way of obvious hooks or melody - synth washes you don’t even realize are there until the track dies away help to further this feeling. You are sucked into a smoky, calm and warm place when listening to this. Pure beauty.

Just get your hands on this one and you'll see what I mean...

I-f - Lost Tracks For Lost Minds - 04-Feb-08 01:32 AM
I-f - Lost Tracks For Lost Minds... What can I say? It's a rather disappointing six-pack if you ask me. This was presented as the ultimate box with unreleased hard pounding and dirty acid/electro which all acid/electro heads were waiting for.

What we get instead are edits of previous released tracks (and not the best) on several labels from I-f, which I already have and are better in their original versions. The unreleased tracks are forgettable. It's just not an addition that is good enough to complete the incredible hotmix collection.

For those who aren't familiar with the old Reference Analogue Audio label or Acid planet, this is a poor introduction to the violent, grungy and dirty acid from back in the days. I could sum up at least 20 old releases that are mind blowing, but you won't find that sound here. And that's pity because these people will get a wrong impression about it.

Considering the skills and talent I-f has, it could have been a huge release but what remains is a average box where the hype an myth got more attention than the music itself. Quick cash? Don't know, I hope the following boxes will be better than this one and that I'm wrong about this new label, prove it to me!

Fires Of Ork, The - The Fires Of Ork 2 - 31-Oct-07 11:20 AM
This is what you get when you involve Geir Jenssen in an ambient project: absolute lush, spacey and dreamy ambient from the top shelf! The 5 tracks are absolutely amazing, not one lacks depth or class, on the contrary, this is a mind blowing trip that could be produced by aliens if you ask me. But my favorite track must be "Nouvelles Machines", with it's spacey atmosphere and lush beats it takes you to the deepest part of your consciousness. Pete Namlook and Geir Jenssen at their best! A 5-star release
