Artist: WOLKSPURZ & RAMIREZ (@)
Title: Music For Your Holidays
Format: CD
Label: AFE Records (@)
Misterious project coming from the Amon/Never Known's personal label, AFE Records. Famous for releasing high collectable and limited CDr albums AFE involved the misterious duo (even if I've got some ideas about who they are) into an important project consisting in two releases. The first has been their first album titled MUSIC FOR YOUR HOLIDAYS and the latter is the colossal "Teddy Bear Remix Project" which consisted into a boxset of four CDs ltd. to 100 numbered copies with pro-printed artwork and gadgets. It contains 64 versions of Wolkspurz & Ramirez's original title track created by some 60 musicians and djs from all over the world and covers each and every known (...and unknown...) style of electronic music from Synth-Pop to Click'n'Cuts through Ambient, Noise, Minimal Electronica, Computer Music, Techno, etc. All this for a total playing time of over 280 minutes. "Teddy Bear" is the only song with vocals of the whole album and it's a synthpop track with a touch of melancholy. The other fourteen tracks are electronic extravaganza influenced by twenty years of analog experimentation. Something that goes to early Kraftwerk to modern techno passing through launge and Jean Micheal Jarre's music. Tracks like "Move Your Feet" crawl insidious between insane melodies and dark atmospheres just to leave the place giving space to the 60's atmospheres a la Peter Gunn of "Grune Zwiebeln". Each track has got something different from the other ones and explore new genres remaining loyal to the duo's style. If you are looking for something different to listen to, Wolkspurz And Ramirez are here to stay. Check the label's website to taste their music.
