RÜCKWÄRTS IM UHRZEIGERSINN is a new double vinyl compilation released by Das Drehmoment Records. You know me and my tastes and you should know that there isn't any of their releases that I didn't like and unsurprisingly the same goes with this one. Gathering sixteen bands with one song for each of them RÜCKWÄRTS IM UHRZEIGERSINN isn't focusing only on electronic music and this is the thing that surprised me. Syn with "That's you" play a new wave/punk cool track that recalled me the best Blondie tunes but it's like Syn played with the dark side of the songwriting. We already know some of the names involved into this compilation as Makina GirGir, Replicant (here with a beautiful dreamy electronic pop hit titled "Forbidden"), Dream Disco, Datafreq, Polygamy Boys and Lesbian Mouseclicks have already released different stuff and some of them have tracks on Das Drehmoment releases (do a search on our reviews to get more info).There are so many good tunes to dig on this double album. Try Dj Gio MC-505 (project of an Italian guy called Giosuè Impellizzeri, active also as reviewer on different websites like Basebog, Disc-jokey and music producer) with his "Intellivision", a retro electro track that sound like the best Clone singles. Dig also Lesbian Mouseclicks' "Double Dèjà-vu", a mysterious minimal pop tune or the electro extravaganza or Transactive Electrozone who with "The tourist" ignite the atmosphere with a neurotic approach. Starcluster feat. Elke B. with "Jusqu'à la Fin" bring some early '80s electro romance. The instrumental tracks need more attention because they sound less immediate but the whole compilation sounds cool and deserve your attention. You can check the excerpts at the label's website.
