I can't believe nobody has started a thread about this yet. Best album of 2010 so far, IMO. Simply fantastic combination of deep and tech with a minimalistic approach.
The whole album is great, but standouts for me are Revenge of the Giant Cowbell, There Will Be Singing, Angels Round Here Don't Sing, and Wonderland (The Race For Space). |

Dial maintain a very respectable run of releases with the second album from one of Berlin's more interesting house heads, Phillip Sollmann aka Efdemin. Whether solo or as Pigon with Oliver Kargl, he's always ensured a richly detailed and classically informed take on house music, incorporating a DJ/producer's innate sense of groove with a listener's ear for filigree intricacies. It's these twin factors that lend 'Chicago' such a gracefully mature gait and developed dancefloor narrative, creating lucid scenes like the sophisticated 'Night Train' with its elegant bassline swing and gently active atmospheres or the exquisitely crafty NSI. style enhancemnts of 'Oh My God'. Meanwhile 'There Will Be Singing' gives tribute to the titular city with that refined Berlin take on its qualities, filtering the lushest elements through a clean, white, minimalist frame of reference. Again, the fizzing rhythmic activities of NSI spring to mind on 'Nothing Is Everything' and the albums longest statement 'Wonderland (The Race For Space)' glides home with sub cushioned shimmies and a delicate percussive lilt that Villalobos would be proud of. Connoisseurs of real high end European house have nothing to fear here.

| I'm on the fence with this one. I can see it banging the hell out of a club with a proper system. I'm going to let it simmer a bit before I make a decision to buy or not buy. |
