4.0 out of 5 stars The emperor isn't naked..., July 6, 2002

...he simply doesn't have any new material. What does one say to this? With "Reset," the eternal stoners at G-Stone Records have released their third consecutive remix album--interpretations of G-Stone material by other similar-minded artists. But with remixes this good, really, who can complain?

Peter Kruder's original "Peace Orchestra" release was a masterpiece of electronica, but its mood was conductive to an intimate home or headphone experience--not really something you'd bang out at Club Boogaloo. Therefore, the reinterpretations found on "Reset" seek to transmit bits and pieces of the original music into more of a club or dance aesthetic. Most of them succeed admirably.

Ignore Gotan Project's uneasy re-jig and head straight for the Beanfield remix of "Meister Pelz." Vienna hip-hop star DJ DSL's interpretation of "Double Drums" adds a piano loop and great rhythmic ideas--this guy's one to watch. Other notable remixes include Meitz's "Marakesch," Guilliaume Boulard jazzing up "Domination," and Soul Patrol's "Henry." Most everything on here sits nicely on the "nu-jazz" shelf.

The only downer, really, is that the designers did not include any copulating hippies, as found on the original and vinyl "Shining" remix packaging. Shame.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Remix, July 12, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Reset (Audio CD)

Don't listen to the other reviews... this is Kruder & Dorf with added funk. the layers and atmospheric sound is still well intact except the remixes adds "life" to the songs.... a lot of great remixes here. Its a whole new way at listening to these songs. I did not give it 5 stars cause i don't quite belive anything is worth five. But I highly reommend this. Cheers

5.0 out of 5 stars Best of The Best, August 17, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Reset (Audio CD)

This is one of the best remixes I've ever heard. Period! Catchy tunes, very good beats (especially the last tune on the CD), most certianly one of the best chill albums of the 21st Century to date. Get this for your collection!
