Blumenkraft (or "Flower Power" in German) is the definition of ethereal harmonic perfection. A blissful mix of ambient/chillout/dub/psychedelic/reggae. Blumenkraft has quite a diverse feel. With its rich bass, rhythmic melodies, and at times haunting vocals, Ott pulls you outta the club and out for a ride to the African plane, the islands of the Caribbean and to the misty forests of Asia. Totally awesome and extremely listenable: in the car, chilling out, as background tunes, or to go to sleep. Everyone who has heard me play this cant help but groove to it. If you know what ails you, buy this album.

edit 2009-apr-18: i see now that amazon stocks this title. ignore my earlier comment about its unavailability.

i just bought, downloaded and am very much digging a handful of ott songs (not all on this release): 'smoked glass and chrome', 'splitting an atom', 'mi-loony-um (a floating butterfly stings like a bee)' and 'lsd (world sheet of closed string mix)'. it may not be too kosh to send you folks elsewhere, but seeing that father amazon doesn't stock this title, i'll let you in on a litle secret: audiolunchbox.

if hearing the standard 'if you like shpongle, you'll love ott' doesn't do it for you, go to said website and listen to the samples and become a believer: ott does some awesome stuff. it's truly a breath of fresh air in a very stale roomful of largely thoughtless, unimaginative techno. i eagerly look forward to future releases by this very promising artist.

Ethnic Fusion, Ambient Trance and Electronica music delivers the best vibes you can ever get from music. If you are bored with the monotonous over played pop and hip-hop, you will get the ultimate high you need from this album. This album was referred to me because of my love for this type of music and I am more than satisfied every time I listen to it. This is recognizable audio art for the mind.

I'm not going to pretend like I know how to review music because I don't, but I can't just sit here and not say something about this album. So, here it goes...

WOW!

There it is. I don't know what it is about the Twisted Records label, but what a tremendous group of talent there. Ott's "Blumenkraft", along with Shpongle, are breathing fresh air into a genre that has been tiring over the last few years. For those of you who think most electronic genres are silly, just listen to "Blumenkraft" for a completely new perspective on music. Favs: "Splitting an Atom" and "Smoked Glass and Chrome". I just love a good melody. Cheers!

I signed up specifically to review this CD.

What can I say.. Fantastic stuff!!

After hearing a few of the songs online, I knew I had to get this. Like the others said, the cd is PERFECT!. Every time I listen to it, it putts me into a happy mood.
If you enjoy any type of electronic music, you will love this cd!
Cant wait for another cd from Ott.

This album gets me higher than anything I've heard so far this year, except maybe the Shpongle Remix CD (no wonder--they're both on the same label). Blumenkraft is a swirling kaleidoscope of psy-trance/dub steeped in middle eastern, reggae and asian flavors. It transcends classification. It's perfect headphone electronica that wraps you in pulsating energy that soothes and envigorates silmultaneously. You're transported into another universe. I doubt seriously you'd find this on any peer-to-peer file-sharing server. No matter. This hard-to-find masterpiece is good enough to buy. Trust me.

I am not a learned person when it comes to music BUT I know what I like or dislike when I hear it and I am utterly in love with this album!!!
It never fails to put me in a blissfully chilled good mood and some of the tracks STILL gives me shivers!
Try it on for size - you'll love it!!

I decided to buy this CD on a whim. I had only heard his remix of Shpongle's "Around the World in a Tea Daze" and waas impressed. After buying this, all I can say is wow. The opening bassline of the first track instantly put me in a trancensental state. I would reccomend listening to this in the car, before going to bed, or under the influence of copious amounts of drugs. You won't be sorry.

This disc is for those who demand something different to feed their CD player. If you love the Electronic genre, and something with much variation and color, both in sound and beat, you will likely love this CD. A great disc to play along with OTT Hallucinogen, THE must-have disc to have. If it's OTT, it's gotta be good! This disc is like Stove-Top Dressing for your mind - get it!

This album is one of the best psychedelic album of all time. Ott compares to the likes of shpongle. His style is unique in that it takes you to another world or maybe even universe. Cant wait to see Ott again at Wakarusa 2011
