Supermayer - Save The World - 18-Jan-08 01:15 PM
I have to sadly agree with the above review. This is one of the few albums from Kompakt I disliked almost at its entirety. Seriously, I don't get how an album like this could be released by the same label which gave us The Field, Closer Musik, Thomas Fehlmann and Kaito.

At first I thought it was a bad joke, but listening to the entire record made me almost puke. The production is terrible, it lacks soul, it lacks emotion and suffers from a complete lack of spontainety. This is a boring and cheesy record by two persons who use to produce relatively good tunes & remixes (Aksel being better than Mayer on the rmx/producing department I have to say).

This is probably the first time I have rated an album on discogs with 1 point, and I did this because I happen to like much of the earlier works of Mayer & Superpitcher (separately) and it really deserves one point compared both to the earlier Kompakt catalog and their personal productions.

Ulver - The Trilogie - Three Journeys Through The Norwegian Netherworlde - 17-May-05 02:45 PM
One of the most valuable items in my personal collection, Ulver's Trilogy are formed by the very first three LPs, from the Smith-esque vocally driven black metal madness of Bergtatt to the raw bassless sounding of Nattens Madrigal, through the folk induced nocturnal chants of Kveldssanger, this box set contains beautiful full color artwork pictured on the LPs themselves, a nice booklet with Michael Moynihan comments and lyrics and three nice wall posters with the artwork off the discs. Truly a blessing from down under.

BPitch Control - 05-Dec-04 12:55 PM
BPitch Control is one of the most revolutionary labels on the dancefloor-oriented electronica. Their stuff is always forward, and this label, alongside Kompakt, are leading the ways of german music in general. Yes we love frau Ellen !

Ricardo Villalobos - Thé Au Harem D'Archimède - 24-Nov-04 12:30 AM
I think that Ricardo Villalobos has made one of the best albums so far this year, I'm referring to "The Au Harem..." This is a new reading of funk. Sure, I know that some won't dig Ricardo's latter complex beat programming and texture layering, but I think this is seriously great stuff, intended both for mind and feet, succeeding at reachin' your soul, and with a very own sound, which of course is highly remarkable these days. I love the aquatic texture of the latin percussion and appreciate he's so far from the boring "tribal" house scene by adding extra hot sauce to his glitchy afro-caribbean techno. A true musician. And yes, IT makes you move.

Parov Stelar - Primavera - 18-Nov-04 03:51 AM
Superb deep house by these relatively unknown talent. I think the first track is the only filler or not as awesome. We have two monstrous and enchanting dubhouse tunes on 'Mi Hou' and 'Primavera', and we have this black horse called 'Ice', also participating of the aforementioned dubhouse cooking but with an accent on the beat. Perfect shake-yer-booty stuff, this is a must on twelve inches glory.
