Music reviews of The K&D Sessions [IMPORT]
Music Review: addictive ambient remixes from master DJs
Rating: 5 Stars
This double album might not start that promising to some, but the compositions or rather remixes get stronger and better further down the tracks and with prolonged listening. The music covered here is so varied in origin and although the remixes of Kruder & Dorfmeister are done by similar means the result ends up being of consistent enough mood to make this project feel whole and complete but diverse enough not to sound monotonic or repetitive. I don't spend much time in the world of djs and remixes but I have listened to quite a few of them. Most of such music turns me off as techno with a lot of beat and little substance in terms of melodic beauty or atmosphere creation. This double album contains both these values and the overall expression feels ambient, progressive, psychedelic at times and of a very addictive and reflective form. This is a mellow electronica much more than a techno album. First disc is of a higher tempo and less ambient perhaps and my favorite tracks on it start with song #4 Going Under and continue through Bug Powder Dust, Rollin' On Chrome, until #7 Useless. The above might be the strongest tracks of this album, although personally I might like disc number 2 even more, as it is mellower with a soft down tempo feel to it. If my other reviews brought you here than you might want to start listening to disc number 2 first, for a while.
If you are reading this review because you love this music and are trying to find something similar, I would recommend UNKLE first and foremost. War Stories (2007) is my favorite album of theirs, followed by Never Never Land (2004). Another similar although not quite as strong music comes from the remixes of Dzihan & Kamien. I have 2 of their albums Freaks & Icons (2000) and Gran Riserva (2002) and they are both good and different.
Description of The K&D Sessions [IMPORT]
Now available at a much lower price! The trip-hop production duo of Peter Kruder and Richard Dorfmeister has gained more fame for its stellar remixes and DJ sets than as producers of its own work. By engineering, reworking and remixing tracks by a cast of artists including Depeche Mode, William Orbit, Bomb the Bass, Lamb, Roni Size, David Holmes, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony and United Future Organization, the Austrian duo became one of the most respected names in the dance/electronica community. This 2 CD set is an essential title for any music library!Viennese trippers Peter Kruder and Richard Dorfmeister fry up beats like a fine Wiener schnitzel. With crisp percussion, tender melodies, and subtle bass flavor, they more than know their way around the production kitchen. Take the remix skills of these two chefs de musique; add a dash of fresh electronic ingredients, including Roni Size, Rockers Hi-Fi, David Holmes, Alex Reece, and others; run it through a beats processor; and you have one sumptuous and definitely not calorie-free meal. Tastier sound bites can be sampled during the Roni Size "Heroes" course, as K&D strip down and reconstruct a new and improved recipe for downtempo soul. Lip-smacking good. --Daniel Shumate
