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.

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).
