Fantastically well produced techno

16/01/09

This album is essentially in the William Orbit syle, in fact if this was labeled as his work, most people would believe it. Nice use of a Commodore SID sample (or module/plug in). The mix smooth, yet the dynamic range is still reasonable. And I LOVE the robot lyrics A promising career in remix work lies ahead!

Well crafted techno... but someone should ban vocoder

12/04/09

It's a very good techno album. As the artist says in the description, this recording contains a mix of tunes in different styles. But that's not a problem. All tracks are creative, production is flawless - just read the other reviews. So why such a low rating? The answer is: a vocoder. Someone should ban this.

I really hoped that the most pitiful invention in the history of music, which is able to kill even the most interesting tune, passed away in disgrace along with the 80s. I was wrong. Lately it crawled out of its grave and started to haunt different musical genres, scaring people with its decaying flesh and rotting bowels. I know some people like it, but for me it is pitiful. It has its place in Kraftwerk's tunes, but that's it. Really. We have 21st century, for Zeus' sake. Your song won't turn into another "Das Model" just because you use a vocoder. So don't. Save the mankind.

Fortunately, only a few tracks on this album are vocoder-"enhanced", so I encourage you to check it out, cause except from this issue it is really good.

Edit: After re-listening to this album I came to the conclusion that the above review is too harsh. I still hate vocoder, but firstly - it is used only in two tracks and secondly - it's use on these tracks is justified, because the artist tries to imitate the sound of 80s. Therefore, I raised my rating from 6 to 8.

And once more I highly recommend this album - mixing so many genres shows how talented paniq is. From breakbeat, through 8-bit, plain techno, crazy and funny experiments in the middle up to the ending downtempo tunes - all is great. Every genre that he touches turns into gold. I dare him to try some Village People kitsch.

Winner of my internal "Album of the Year" award for 2005!

07/01/09

>The very first album from paniq I've ever heard. I've got familiar with this music when listening to Nectarine.org in the period, when I've greedy downloaded everything that sounded good. I totally don't know, how did I land in panig.org -- the web front-end of Leo Ritter's creative actions. But there I've found this album. The album is just a compilation lacking the general concept, but the work is crafted and mastered carefully and with sense of humour. There are some mild experiments and lots of things, that will sound new for mainstream listeners, but are quite common thing for Demoscene insiders. There is no radiantly brilliant or innovative piece on the disc, but I like every single song. For these, who listen it for the first time, I recommend to listen the last track to the end -- giving a bit of patience to the silence gap. My favourites are , and the very bonus-track. Overall? Something more than just another demoscene music disk, a really nice alternative to the commercial dance music, very good experience for people seeking new sound. My opinion: Eight stars [++++++++--], and it earned Album of the Year for 2005:

2005-12-31 Awards time
[22:41] Time to establish the album of the year 2005. Let me remind You: the nominees were:

* Takako Minekawa: "Roomic Cube"
* Yoko Kano: "Be Human" Ghost In The Shell/Stand Alone Complex OST
* paniq: "Neurons fire at will"

Album from 'Vingt Minutes de Chaos' was disqualified, because it was mere compilation.

And the winner is...
PANIQ

Why?
I liked most "Elektronishe Musik" and the hidden track.

When I was listening to one of the tracks (and also dealing with my fourth child who is nine months), I thought of the track as 'quirky', and I wondered whether such a descriptive would bode well coming from a listener/reviewer. Then, when I had the time I read the preamble and there it is. So, basically I'm sold and you've already said it all. Why should I analyse, when I can just listen and enjoy. I highly recommend this to fans of electronic music. Thanks.

The title of the album itself accounts for half of the points I'm giving. I just love it. And then there's still the music. Just another great discovery on this portal.

This is probably the one paniq album I like most, but that shouldn't keep you from listening to the others.
