After the first hearing I was afraid a bit too leisurely for my taste, and sound in the face of album and track titles I wondered whether Andreas Krüger now incorporates oriental Kläbge. Still, I got myself a fan of DDR album right after release and that was a good thing. Unlike the previous albums, the tracks are not in one another therefore better to use mixed-to hang up. The sound is sometimes housy, deep, sometimes playful and dreamy. The opener "Mocha" is rather minimalistsich and reminiscent of many a piece of "distance". The title track "East" grooves with a melody deepen casually in front of him; the perfect track to dance into the sunset or -aufgang. "Pole Position" is gloomier, elektroider, super driving and has catchy qualities-for me the strongest track on the album. "Tara" is a straighte 4/4-number and the track name of title 5 "mirage" fits like a glove eye- leisurely floating with a bit of melancholy riff. "Dance of paradise" ties with somber bassoon sounds a bit like the Swing-trips on the last album, but without a dull imitation to its be-something different. "Heaven" and "Double Decker" are then again pure rousing club sound, with "sky" considerably more going forward. "Snowland" ikommt melodic, organic, therefore-if nciht everything deceives me, Andreas Krüger has since unpacked the saxophone ;-) The title looks worn and a bit's good will can be the middle of summer actually imagine a snowy landscape ... "Dervish" is then Club Pure, whereas "Stirling" then back on-one on the tempo track with two gears pop appeal, only without singing. "Djinn" slides back to himself, and "Docks" then has the character of a sound-gimmick without beats, distorted sounds and goodbye again saxophone and bassoon.
DDR is its sound with the right touch of innovation faithful without the umpteenth rehash of his titles bring-I look forward to the next live gig.
