BLAOU 038EP
|
Third volume in this KLF remix series, this time featuring Glove (Tobi Neumann & Thies Mynther) and Moritz R (from Der Plan). "The next round of the KLF project is a very personal treatment of this subject. Thies & Tobi weave their memories of youth, friendship and schooldays into an emotional mix using elements from the KLF song 'Build A Fire,' Bill Drummond's solo tune 'I Still Believe In Rock 'n' Roll' and a Drummond comment about their book The Manual. Do you still believe in Rock 'n' Roll? You got to keep up the fight! Moritz R. and his band Der Plan were the whizzkids of the German New Wave movement of the early '80s. Due to their shared ideological background, that insists that everybody is able to make music, they were handled as the German version of the Residents. Next to his musical career Moritz has successfully built his reputation as a painter of fine paintings in his favoured Tiki-style. This is his brave version of 'Make It Rain.' If only John Peel would have heard this one!"

BLAOU 019CD

"This is mixed compilation album album for Blaou tells the story musical wise. It is titled From 4 to 6 a.m. and presents the complete 'Blaou Years', the works for Blaou until now, including 10 tracks that appear to be a versatile and highly inspired string of sounds that work like a concept album soundtrack for modernist urban electronic dancing. A striking example how fresh and inspiring this musical genre can still be when it is composed in Cologne-Germany. And 'Composition' is the word for this album, one hour of crystal clear raunchy energetic excitement from the humble foreplay installment '4 Uhr morgens' towards the amorph bass flow when 'Smith and Wesson' appear on the scene up to the dramatic guitar crescendo of '6 uhr morgens', you can feel the rhythms build and tension grow with each round this CD spins. Due to the long time span of the single productions incorporated on the album the final edited version feels like a journey in time, going back to the future in the best meaning of the expression. You may know Mathias Schaffhäuser for his recent success on Lido Hotel on his own Ware label but you have never heard him sounding so special and intense as From 4 to 6 a.m.. So, electronic movers and future music pelvis shakers, if you didn´t know it before : the new year has no rhythm and no rhyme and no right time if it doesn't last 'from 4 to 6 a.m.'."

BLAOU 015
|
Mixed compilation of euphoric German house, mixed by Dixon and Tresor's Mitja Prinz, featuring multiple tracks by M. Schaffhäuser, El Greco, Beat Boutique, Das Deva, Arc-en-ciel, Erobique, Platzdasch. Schaffhäuser is represented by 3 tracks and is there a heavier minimal house anthem than the astonishing "6 Uhr Morgens" which opens this CD? Cute cover, seductive sounds, similar to best of the Neuhouse series.
