Only one CD! Cool. Maybe it'll feel more focused, like in the old(er) days.

Who are all of you to even consider suggesting how these comps should sound?? rmart, you can barely type a statement! none of you even have a one stroke of talent to choose what music should be anywhere.

Uh, you need to calm down.

I know this is the Internet and all, but nothing I wrote warranted that response. Just saying that I liked the Total compilations better when they were just one CD instead of two. Nothing wrong with that.

Or maybe your UNTALENTED BRAIN THAT CANNOT EVEN TYPE OR SPELL OR AT LEAST NOT CHOOSE THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF PUNCTUATION (HEY, TRY USING ONLY ONE QUESTION MARK, DUDE, HA HA HA) OR SOMETHING I don't even know what's happening anymore. This is so very confusing.

good point.


Having listened to the snippets, this sounds like it will be excellent.

Wolfgang Voigt – Frieden, in particular, sounds great.

RA Review
An annual late summer snapshot, timed for when the festivals wind down and the nights begin to seem more finite, Kompakt's Total series reaches edition 12 this year with a decision to condense the sprawl. For the first time since the fifth in '03, Total has been trimmed from two discs to one. Necess..

The usual suspects. Nice, I'm all over this!

Really?

Thank God, I've been missing adolescent moodiness.

Is it just me or does Reinhard Voigt look a little bit like Bez ?

Hugely enjoyable Total. Probably my favourite of recent years.

No mention of the Kolombo track? That is the stand out for me. Especially when you compare it to the source material (Howard Jones - Everlasting Love). However, the first four tracks deliver a killer combo.

@NicLiu - yes he does look a bit Bez like. Or maybe Steve Hillage?


'White Lightning' is unreal.

Hear hear Wheatabix, white lightning is amazing. This should have got at least a 4 - two average tracks, rightly pointed out, but the rest is top notch.


I actually really like 'I Don't Smoke' as well. Agree about the Gui Boratto track though. It's not really to my taste, though I can imagine it works a treat in big room clubs.

The LP release has an amazing track by Jurgen Paape, 'Pray'. Somewhat reminiscent of The Field in that it uses cut up samples. Very nice indeed.

Imho you can´t review Total12 without saying that the Kolombo Track is a real Killer!

Certainly better than last year's nadir, the reduction in size has served them well.

Reinhard's track is a good un', the Mohn track is great, and Voigt's Frieden - but jeez, he's so prolific and almost always more interesting than most.
