And here we are again…it’s November, we are all lost in our usual winter life with days spent in gray, ugly offices ande classrooms rembering how we were happy during the summer.
So the Cocoon records, knowing how we feel, releases a new compilation every year in order to help us finding the perfect soundtrack for our memories.
For six years in a raw Herr Vath has got us used to an innovative type of compilation starting from the hard techno of the first season and passing trough the evolution of minimal electro beats. Moreover the Cocoon cd mix have introduced new approaches to the extra contents of the compiltations, as in the case of third one when Sven and Richie Hawtin mixed music and ground noises in order to tell us how is a day in Ibiza.
Today, however, the situation is different: this new cd surely contains fine music and the package is very nice too but…how can I say? It’s too ordinary for being a Cocoon creation: the tracks (as their producers) are all minimal electro hits without any surprise or new name and this time there’s no extra content that could justifing the purchase as already happened for the fifth compilation.
I hope that Sven Vath could find new ideas for his succesfull eight season but now this last work is only for all those guys who were at Amnesia in the summer and that couldn’t come back yet on the dancefloor.
