I didnt buy it...the Timo and Radio Slave tracks are no good?

The only Total I desire is Total 6 because of that Superpitcher remix it has. Can't get it anywhere else

Timo Maas track I find to be way over the top but I'm sure it's exactly the kind of stuff that Sven goes for so of course it's there...as for the Radio Slave track, I find that it is somewhat anyi-climactic...it just sort of hovers, without a real driving beat behind it like most RS productions do.

P.S. since you're a Radio Slave fan (but only shop for vinyl I assume) he also had a new track come out on OM records recently

if you are talking about orchestrating in the dark on om, i really like the disco samples used...it just goes nowhere at all.
Adam420
Yea that's the one....have only heard the sample but it sounded pretty mild, did you grab it?
lenazi
nope.

like i said the samples used are excellent but it goes absolutely nowhere like most rs tracks.

i don't know why, i somehow can't do anything with kompakt or cocoon releases. i find kompakt releases often cheesy sob stuff, whereas cocoon stands for egomaniac redneck techno :p the only kompakt record i have is gas - nah und fern, and the number of cocoon records is probably around 3

(no offense to those who like kompakt or cocoon, tastes are different)

cheesy in terms of techno, yes.. overly melodic/harmonic and sometimes too dreamy and poppy in my opinion :)

I have the same feelings towards both labels. For example, check out the Wighomy Bros remix of Gui Boratto that just came out on Kompakt. Its really good except there's something cheesy about it that stopped me from buying it. I think its the melody.

I'm not saying I wont buy it or play it in the future but I'm kinda mehh on it right now.

Can't tell u the last time I bought a cocoon record. Subtellite I think and I only played that once.
