Playgroup And Alter Ego - The Kings Of Electro album mp3

Playgroup Techno Electro 2007 Germany

Rather than merely license all the big tracks, Rapster Records leave it to the experts - Playgroup (AKA Output Recordings chief Trevor Jackson) and Alter Ego - to provide their own visions of The History and The Present state of electro. On CD1, Trevor Jackson forgoes the usual catch-all classics selection, and cleverly condenses the history lesson into just two tracks . And this is what makes Kings of Electro so special. On one hand it is an intelligent, conceptual revision of a misunderstood genre; on the other, it’s a poppy, populist party mix. It expands the horizons of your understanding of electro, while shining a spotlight on what made you love it in the first place.

For the Playgroup half of Kings of Electro (the other disc was compiled by the German duo Alter Ego), Jackson focuses on electro as it sounded in its time of origin. The sole objective of Whodini's "Magic's Wand" is to explain how a new thing called a "rap attack" differs from more familiar maladies of its day.

Kings of Electro collects some of the finest records in the genre, from early classics to modern boundary pushers. Trevor Jackson and Alter Ego apply their intimate knowledge of the synth driven sound, creating a mix which acts as both a primer in the history of electro, and a barometer of the distance it has traveled in its more than twenty years of existence. Trevor Jackson and Alter Ego are producers of world renown. Alter Ego have a background.

This is a very confusing release. Take a brief look at the listing and you can easily tell that there are two totally different mixes featured here. Yes yes, there's nothing wrong with that but let me explain... Playgroup's take on electro is quite predictable as far as the song choices are concerned. Well known classics from Dynamix II, Model 500, and Hashim a get along well with lesser known electro classics but the thing is that the mixing is quite bad. Or maybe is you like quick mix-it-out-mix-it-in style you won't mind but for me the performance is poor. But if you like proper old skool electro disc one manages to deliver the expectations. The second disc by Alter Ego, is, um, supposed to represent modern electro. Well, you have to very open minded to agree or then electro is just a general term for any kind of electronic music. What we have here is all the styles possible, minimal techno by Daniel Bell, dreadful electro house by Chicken Lips, classic dub techno by Maurizio, UK garage styled 'Dooms Night' remix by Timo Maas. Only some tunes can be seen as electro or electro influenced, but like I said, only a very extensive interpretation can see this mix as electro and to me the concept of electro is almost completely missing. However, some of the tunes are absolutely essential and mind blowing such as harsh techno of Acid Jesus, minimal masterpiece by Robert Hood, and the divine slice of techno heaven by Galaxy To Galaxy. And the mixing is nice as well so what the second disc offers is not modern electro but a nice classic techno mix. Confused? At least I am but that doesn't prevent me from enjoying both discs.
