Actually, I'm more in the genre of Pop at home and give releases in dance and techno-area little attention. However, I like good remixes and therefore very much like to buy Maxi-Singles my favorite artists. Since these days fewer and fewer music CDs and -Schallplatten be launched, I have listened attentively, when I saw that an exclusive remix of Lana Del Rey's BLACK BEAUTY on the DJ compilation ABOUT BERLIN VOL: 9 was pressed .. . and this is available in addition to the CD release even as vinyl kit! So I slammed and not regretted the purchase.
It is surprising how trendy dance may sound today. You simply put a voice on the synthetic techno track and voilà, the potential hit is ready! Of course, on the compilation with 31 tracks and over two and a half hours of running time and enough pieces that indulge the purely instrumental and which take the listener into other worlds of sound to chill-out, such as PALM TREE MEMORIES (N'TO Remix) by Oliver Schories and Joris Delacroix.
In any case, next to the LEEX Tropical Mix of Lana Del Rey's BLACK BEAUTY also recommended Fritz Kalkbrenner BACK HOME in the six-minute original version, which distinguishes the current sound of Berlin clubs. In a compilation on the club scene in Berlin one of the Kalkbrennerbrüder Paul Fritz or may not be missing anyway.
--- For Vinyl Set (4 LPs in gatefold folding cover) ---
It's amazing what differences you have to tolerate currently in terms of press quality. There longplayer that ship covered by lint and has on those already manifested in the grooves of home one or two clicks.
Then there are, in turn pressures, where high everything is right. ABOUT BERLIN VOL: 9 is one of these wonderful cases. The set makes her stuff, is it limited to the shrink-wrap on a thousand pieces according Sticker.
After unpacking all four heavy 140-gram records showed me on a flat, flawless surface, on which the rich analog sound can unfold completely. Finally, it's especially the genre Dance, which can make a fuss on vinyl through his impressive bass and deep lovers of themselves. What seems exaggerated and distorted on CD, is softly focused and balanced sound on vinyl.
Furthermore, the design of the shell is more than luxurious failed. On the cover we see a beautiful picture of the sunset as it is usually of the Berlin Karl-Marx-Allee to look. Furthermore, the envelope can be opened and inside the production notes of all 31 tracks are stored. The shell consists of two cardboard sleeves that can accommodate two black discs of the set course. The room is for not too tight, as you know, unfortunately, of many other publications (eg Rebel Heart of Our Lady). The fat 140-gram discs are also attached to the withdrawal back into their sleeves inside. The paper cases, which are intended to protect the vinyl LPs from dust, are the way snow white.
Inside the first cardboard sleeve can be found otherwise have a download code in the form of a small slip in front, with the Man About BERLIN VOL: 9 free can be downloaded as MP3.
--- Conclusion ---
The compilation series ABOUT BERLIN is interesting for all buyers who want the pure club sound that is breathed very trendy today, also at home. Fans of dignified Depeche Mode remix EPs come fully at their expense, even if the synth-pop pioneers are not listening to the ninth compilation. But you get offered, among other vocals of Kiesza and Lykke Li on rich Dance basses, electrifying loops and fully synthetic sound robes.
As vinyl buyer this set should not be missed. It is limited to a thousand pieces and is due to its features and flawless technical execution once the investment. In addition to the four panels you get even the digital MP3 variant as icing on the cake - five stars for this strong price-performance ratio.
