I've been listening to the Sven Vath album (Accident...) and I must confess
it's not what I had hoped. I had only previously heard "...whales in the
darkness". While "Caravan of Emotions" and the other track on disk 1 are
both along this mellow vein, all the tracks have a higher (if I may
use the words of another idm'er a few weeks back...) "corn
factor" than I had counted on. In particular, it seems that in the mellower
tracks there are some straight synth sounds that sound really typical
new age in their execution. The faster tracks on disk two don't really
appeal to me, either, and just seem like your standard post-techno dance
tracks. :( wah. The day after I bought my expensive import double vinyl
I heard that it was available US domestic on CD. I wish I had known that
earlier! I can say I would still get the domestic CD, but I would have
rather spent my vinyl money on something else.
This all makes me so sad because I really liked his glittery butterfly
face on a remix single I saw ;(
