Supermayer save the world

s it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it�s Michael Mayer and Superpitcher collaborating on a concept album.

�Supermayer Save the World� promises to rival �Tommy� in the concept album stakes, with a storyline, heroes, a live show and visuals courtesy of illustrator Kat Menschik included on the CD and gatefold 2xLP sleeves. Musically, the two Kompakt supermen have decided to expand their palette beyond the label�s regular electronics, finding room for trumpets, saxophones, acoustic guitars, flutes and even a gong. The twelve-track album also promises to stray away from the label�s signature techno thump, containing forays into kooky indie pop (�The Art of Letting Go�, �Us and Them�) and lounge experiments (�Cocktails For You�) amidst ambient interludes. �Will keep you grinning from ear to ear beginning to end,� says the press notes. Take that, Lex Luthor!

Tracklist

1 Hey!
2 The Art Of Letting Go

Supermayer is a duo, so I'm guessing it's treated as a plural subject.

Should be good.

I'm hoping this will be good but much like a lot of this type of music I fear i will be sorely disappointed.

Their remix of doppelwhipper was actually quite embarrasing for producers of such talent.

Sounds exciting as hell.

Fuck yes.

I saw Michael Mayer live some weeks ago. I started talking German ("ich habe ein demo cd f�r dich"), he stopped me and just said: "je parle fran�ais".

/the end.

What, that was it?

Posted by Synchronized on Jul-20-2007 16:24:

Yes, yes, more Mayer please. More!

Wow, two guys that have put out the best material during the past couple of years IMO.

Just got my hands on the album, and its a definite pleaser!

It's important to listen to this album with an open mind because they are experimenting with lots of different sounds, and styles. If you liked the remix of 'Like You' and expect to see a lot of that on the CD... don't.

Its definitely unique. Give it 8.5 bones outta 10.
