The Chadderandom Abyss - On A Giant Bowling Ball

Clicking through the tracks on this "album" is like driving by a bloody car wreck- you can't take your eyes (ears) away from the carnage. It is probably the funniest set of recordings I've heard since I was drunk in college. Any of the tracks (because they all sound amazingly similar) would be great to put in at a party just to see things come to a screaching halt as everyones jaws dropped and said, "are you serious?".
Unfortunately, he is serious. So, I wish him well and keep on practicing.
I must also add that the album cover is very nice and all of the titles are very creative. Good job. You have more guts than me.

Please give some more tracks! please -- don't lose the JAZZ that you got - wow - although voice has R&B abilites like crazy - use the R&B stepping stone to Step onward into your jazz side - please don't 'backward' into R&B-beendonebefore (i doubt you would) keep the chord progression - do a cover of "Hit the Road Jack in your live set - but keep it Original -
great arrangements with horns wow! modern up-close vocal recording - but you might try a little environmentalisation on vox - almost too in-face, but I still liked it -
Jazziness keeps the charm in the work - so in my opinion I encouraging keeping the jazziness and "soul" over the risk of cliche' "R&Bness" -

I'll be looking for the next work

From Zero to Hero

making order out of noise

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.

Story of Ohm

Good album -

At first glimpse I didn't like that album. Too loud and too techno. But I didn't give it much attention, so I didn't recognize it's qualities at first. Whole disk is at once: experimental and popular -- the composer did manage to step outside rigid framework of dance music giving us some new sound, and new rhythm -- especially the 6/8 in Kiroyal. Although it was not planned, there is a line thet can divide whole album into two parts, starting from Niemals sterben, there are songs, and my favourite being Der Sturz. Summary? A decent album, many experiment with synths and drummachines, quite pleasant mix of styles and sounds (klang).
