5.0 out of 5 stars funky, nasty, dirty.... this set rocks!, November 7, 2000

I don't care if Maas is a producer trying to DJ his own tracks. He doesn't have the skill of Sasha with the transitions or track placement, but WHO DOES? This 2 CD set is worth buying based on the quality of the tracks alone. Maas has a talent of taking spacey, plain-vanilla trance and f&*!ing it up with SICK synth loops and tripped out samples. Both discs have been messing up my head for a week solid. VERY danceable.

4.0 out of 5 stars May not be a great technical mix, but it sure makes you move, May 25, 2001

While Timo Maas has been criticized for creating DJ mix CDs that aren't on the same level as the best in the business, he still manages to create soundscapes that get your head bobbing, toes tapping, and body moving. By the time you get to Timo Maas's own "Schieber 1" on disc 2, if you're not moving, you're either sleeping or dead. I've heard the same things said from multiple reviewers about Paul Van Dyk and Paul Oakenfold (great producers, bad DJs), but there's very little denying that PvD's "Vorsprung Dyk Technik" (disc 1) or Oakenfold's "Resident" have set off that all-important dance response in people that hear them. And if there's anyone who have been lucky enough to hear PvD's live mixes at Homelands or Berlin (or LA for New Years Eve 2000), they know what "producer" guys like this are capable of.

Getting back to Timo Maas, however, there are some transitions that will make you go, "Huh?" (one of them occurs between tracks 5 and 6 on disc 2, which simply don't want to blend with each other at all), but for the most part, this is a solid showcase for Maas' own work, his remixes, and other assorted vinyl that he likes to spin. Solid.

5.0 out of 5 stars WET AND HARD, October 13, 2000

By 

Trancer (Montreal) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Music for the Maases (Audio CD)

That's how Timo Maas describes his music(and how he's been quoted in just about every single interview he's done lately.) Wet and Hard. Not trance, house or techno. Well, no matter what it is, Timo Maas' sound is definitely unique. Full of filthy, synthetic noises, it just builds and adds layer upon layer of filthiness but just sounds so right.

CD1 is wicked, starting off with some cool breakbeats and then getting into the more percussive funky material. Definitely worth the money, and is bound to become a sound that is going to be more and more prevalent in clubs and parties all over.

Tracks of note(ignoring the urge to list them all): Timo Maas-Eclipse, Der Schieber I and II, and of course Green Velvet's Flash (Timo Maas mix)
