I can’t say it completely swept me off my feet. Some tracks are very catchy – however, with those ones I’m sure that if I went through my collection with a fine tooth comb I’d find other tracks that I already own that have the very same sound / melody as those “catchy†tracks.
But I bought it for the weird tracks, the ones that I didn’t like straight away – those are usually the ones that I end up loving the most in a few weeks’ time. There’s no denying the originality and ubiquity of the label and its sounds – although the few singles that they’ve put out recently have been quite hit and miss. I’m taking a gamble (but I’m sure it’s a pretty safe bet that my money was well spent).
Kompakt 10 – whether you’re chillaxing with a book, or going for a road trip. A sound for all tastes as long as you’re willing to delve into the weird and wonderful side of electronica.
I will say tho:
Thomas & Mayer – Total 9 sounds too much like Killahurtz – 21st Century Lover
Total 9 sounds like an instrumental, stripped down and chilled remix of Killahurtz. But that’s just the trainspotter in me talking.
