Kalkbrenner "Self" to which I came across by chance, has brought closer to me not only the Kalkbrennersche world but closer to me, the music of other German artists such as Ellen Alien, etc. Sascha Funke. I'm not really techno / trance fan, hear from this genre rather still Underworld, Leftfield or the ChemBrothers, but when I "Self" first heard it blew me away almost. And the reason is simple: Paul Kalkbrenner has placed on this album an inimitable perfection of the day. Perfection, how to find the balance between monotonous and motivated electro music. The actually quite simple melodies are so cleverly arranged, actually arranges quite simple, such as the bass set wisely, but it is executed brings over a mood that is absolutely unique. I hear the loud music in the car, or even quietly as a background of a social gathering - the album fits simple: Let's be quiet (but still compelling) sounds, sometimes go a bit harder (if you can even call it that) to the point -> see "The Grouch" - is my favorite! Conclusion: Kudos Mr. Kalkbrenner, so looks perfect!
