I first heard the song "Elysian Fields" on Glücklich IV. Sometimes you like a song so much you go out and buy the CD and then it turns out that all of the other songs suck because the one song that was picked out for a "Compilation" was exceptional. That's not the case with this CD. Although "Elysian Fields" is the only song with Bogey talking, all of the songs share the same cool, ambient,jazzy, brasilian, "get-a-funky-riff-going and then shimmer a lot of Rhodes electronics and electric drumbeats all around it" type of tunes. If you like Om Lounge, Thievery Corporation, Glücklich I-IV, The New Latinaires, Bossa Mundo, Buscemi, Trüby Trio, etc. etc., you'll LOVE this.

I really can't agree with the review made by the another costumer. This new album was not a disappointment and i think it is very well made and the music is well balanced, featuring jazzy and drum and bass songs, similar to Thievery Corporation and Cinematic Orchestra. I really advise you to by this album and if you like it check other albums from other artists of COMPOST LABEL like for example Rainer Truby Trio and Jazzanova.

Haven't heard his first one yet, but I love this one. Lounge, electro, sampled, eurofunky, sometimes mellow and ethereal..one of my favorites in a long time. Apparently the first album was drum & bass, which I don't care for even though I listen to it anyway for the mellow tracks. So if he's changing his style, he'll lose some fans and gain others. Compost has yet to disappoint. This goes with K&D, ESL, Costes, etc.
