From Zero to Hero

I was in fear, that this album might also be misunderstood by me, so I have given it a good try, when I was driving to my in-laws. So, we type "paniq" in the google, and we have first surprise: the album on composers own web page is different from the one published on Jamendo. I mean the tunes are the same, but the list is arranged differently. Does it change anything? I'm used to listening whole albums. I believe, that the composer, singer, or atleast sound engineer had a concept to arrange tunes on disk in one order not another. I feel it to be a blasphemy to use random shuffle on a record that is not compilation or "the best of". Seeing such a thing, as two releases the same, but different, can mean two things: either the author or publisher didn't care, or the author changed own mind after time. Which case we cross here -- how the hell could I know? But to the album itself: The quality of sound and mixing is best of all albums to date. Among all the tunes we hear only one song, and an á capella one. There is some interesting experiment with ring modulation in Nuts and Bolts and The future of the Internet, Lovers in space sounds a bit like best old tunes by Members of Mayday, und alle so yeaah sounds as played on a broken cassete deck, so poular in 1990's. All in all, the album is not boring at all, and everyone can find a tune or two he or she will like. My opinion? Seven stars [*******---] and nomination for Album of the Year award.
