Around the World (Audio CD)

Customer Review

It's always impressive, what was over spills regularly of creative and often somewhat eccentric electronics from our French neighboring country to Germany. After synth Altrecke Jean Michel Jarre had already leveled off Endsiebzigern the way for new sounds "Made in France", land studio tinkerers like the masters of the spheres sound Air, DJ icons such as Laurent Garnier and Mr. Oizo or mayflies like Modjo regularly hits also this side of the Rhine.

A special position is thereby the identity secret shopkeepers Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter aka Daft Punk, but they made the so typical of the French dance scene filter sound in this country only really popular. "Around The World", the first hit (which three years later with "One More Time" should be followed by an even larger), this is a good example.

In three versions (Radio Edit, LP version, Motorbass Vice Mix) the track is present on this MCD, plus the Extended Mix of "Teachers" is added as a bonus track. Makes a total of just 24 minutes best ass shake music, for whom the outrageous crisp bass line of the title track does not go in feet, which is really beyond help. The Radio Edit this sounds stalled somewhat roughly, one should therefore engage more than seven minutes LP version, which develops all sound gimmicks as low-pass filters, vocoders and many others in peace and in full force and spreads but definitely for.

The Motorbass Vice Mix takes the song once thoroughly apart and obliquely him thoroughly with sampled horn sections, claps and a bubbling sequencer line to. Sounds arg first getting used to, but eventually something Hypnotic has per se. This also applies to "Teachers", in which the chopped Beat goes neatly together with the drilling Acid-bubbling into the crossbar. Something deduction for out-faded unloving Radio Edit, otherwise a great piece of music!
