Notes
In his review on allmusic.com John Bush summarizes: "Yes, it's a bit of a shame that the pair still hadn't released an album of own-productions, but with (re)mix albums this stunning and accomplished, Kruder & Dorfmeister hardly needed one to gain respect." The mentioned lack has finally been made good with the release of Kruder & Dorfmeister - 1995.

Great press and re cut/master by BG, hard to beat…- Edited one month agoWow smooth vinyl and what a great sound! Now I know what my mate meant when he said he was dancing around the living room like a teenager!🥰 A must for fans!🙏 Bernie Grundman what a performance !
- Sounds amazing, very well mastered! I was considering not buying this as I have the 5 LP reissue but this new set is very nice.
- I'm looking for only the G/H side, if you have it and you don't need it, please let me know in private messages.
- I played this a lot back in 1999. It would be unfair to expect it to stand up 25 years later, were it not for the fact that !k7 are still releasing editions of it, and evidently many people still think it’s the greatest thing ever released.
How does it stand up in 2025? Not well. All of the tracks are granted the trademark late-’90s K+D sound: a lot of vibrato-heavy Fender Rhodes-style sustained chords and a lot of brushed percussion samples. After 21 tracks one has certainly had enough of this sound being used to make artists as dissimilar as Depeche Mode and Alex Reece (remember him?) sound the same.
The compilation isn't exactly "mixed" – there’s no beatmatching, but each track slightly overlaps with those on either side. What was the point of that, other than to render each track slightly incomplete? The worst part is DM’s Useless, which is completely missing the excellent final bossa nova section, and is chopped from 9:10 to 6:13.
The photography has also dated appallingly. Sub-Juergen Teller/Everything But The Girl-circa-1996 hipster pap. - For me, this is classical music. Have previously listened to this on CD in the car (on repeat) and surprised how clean and clear the vinyl version sounds in comparison to my car experience.

any way to tell the difference between this and the other version if still sealed? https://www.discogs.com/release/21840493-Kruder-Dorfmeister-The-KD-Sessions- This is a brilliant version!
Gives you more feelnthan standard cd package but advantages of not to have to change the sides every 20 min.
You get the full experience from a one stiiting. Very worth it. - Just a reminder for collectors/completists - the vinyl box has 6 bonus tracks, while the 3CD box has seven. What You miss on the vinyl edition is Knowtoryous / The Revenge Of The Bomberclaad (K&D Session™). I personally have zero issues with this, as this was my least favourite part of the Sessions, although this version sounds cool, and different from the „regular” mix.
What I really miss in this set is the full 12 minute dub mix of Nothing Really Matters. Maybe for the 30th Anniversary Warner Music will finally allow this :) - I had the 5LP in my "wantlist" for ages.
As soon as this version came out, I bought it... and it's incredible.
I can't compare to other pressing, but this sounds sublime.
