Yep.... it was really really fucking awesome the first
time I heard it. Then I listened to it again and it
was great.... then the third time it was good... and
now it's good, but lost a little of its appeal. Seems
like most of the stuff from the Cologne camp is this
way - chain reaction, mike ink, etc. etc. The
production is always amazing, but there aren't enough
ideas to make it durable past the first 10 or so
listens....

This is absolutely an on target post. Seems to describe
virtually everything out of Cologne and Berlin, for me at least.
It's very similar to the reaction I have to house, some trance,
whatever. In the middle of a set lots of this stuff sounds great
once, but a couple of listens and it deflates, big time.
Precisely why we need DJ's out there, I guess.
I think Mixmaster Morris described FAX releases in a similar
way as FAX crack: sounds great at the store, but when you
get home it doesn't sound quite so great.
