5.0 out of 5 stars What A Blast, September 9, 2005

I don't know what younger people think of this, but if you were born in the 50s I can't understand how you could fail to love it. The mix is spot-on perfect and the tunes remind me of what we used to hear when we were 16 and stayed up until 3AM passing J's, drinking Coors and watching old movies. This isn't serious stuff, so I'm reluctant to review it on the same level as FSOL or Autechre, but it deserves 5 stars for succeeding perfectly at what it sets out to accomplish. Ursulla 1000 does a better mix than many far more prestigious "underground" DJ's and this is a masterpiece of its kind, better than the stuff he writes himself, I'm afraid. Listening to it late last night I actually found myself laughing out loud during during such perfectly titled tunes as "60s Porno Bird," they were so get-down funky it was like someone getting inside your brain and trying to tickle you to death from the inside out. Tower of Power once asked "What is Hip?" This is, man, and anyone who doesn't love it must be on some seriously bad head trip. Indispensible for all but the grim and humorless.

I hate to be pedantic but sometimes I have to (I'm German). Ursula 1000's CD doesn't have much to do with "what Germans call 'Easy Listening'". Sorry, Amazon, but that statement only confuses people. When I listened to this album I got reminded quite a bit of what Japanese DJs, in particular, Pizzicato Five are doing. And it turned out that the first song actually is a remix done by Pizzicato Five's DJ. So you get plenty of weird Sixties' riffs, short sound snippets, weird bongos, some of the stuff Fatboy Slim made popular etc. etc. It's a lot of stuff and probably you don't really want to listen to it on the side. It's a great CD for a party, and it's also great to listen to if you play it really loud (and I mean loud). Some of the songs on the CD aren't that great but they gain something from being part of the mix. In the end, you have to be aware that the CD is a continous mix, and while something like that usually works very nicely in a club, it might not always work at home. The guy who sold me the CD said he liked Ursula 1000's DJing he had seen but he wasn't too happy with the CD. I like it because I dig Pizzicato Five.

This is one I picked up on a whim and it's now one of my all time favorite records. I cannot suggest this record enough. If you have any doubts about the talents of Ursula 1000 this one will clear them all up. Awesome.
