Not Astonishing, but Very Solid.,
This review is from: Dj Kicks (Audio CD)
Erlend Oye's take on DJ-ing, like Miss Kittin's, is either something you're going to enjoy immediately or find annoying - so it's a good idea to check out the clips provided above. Personally, I like his voice and was sold on the collection by the time I finished listening to "Sheltered Life/Fine Day" (track 2.) Although I think some of the praise for this CD may be a tad gushing (i.e. Pitchfork), I can understand why some are so enthusiastic about it. The tracks themselves are very good and Oye deserves credit for taking a chance and overdubbing his own vocals over many of them. In terms of track selection, it is pretty strong across-the-board, with stand-outs being the previously mentioned "Sheltered Life/Fine Day," "Rubicon," "Poor Leno" and "Dexter." The only track I actively dislike is "2D2F" a rap ditty in the vein of "Hey Mami" by Fannypack (on Ladytron's "Softcore Jukebox,") except not even a tenth as good. Beyond that, it simply doesn't make any sense, regardless of how good the track is, to put it on this particular album (similar to throwing in a Public Enemy or Mos Def track on a Kruder and Dorfmeister mix - both PE and Mos Def are great - but not in that context.) Anyway, I've programmed it out and haven't missed it. About the vocals: at no point in the CD have I found them annoying or grating. The lyrics he chooses are sometimes inspired (most notably "There is a Light that Never Goes Out" by the Smiths, as mentioned by others) and at worst tolerable ("Venus.") Overall, I find his voice soothing - it doesn't overpower the music and there isn't a hint of pretentiousness, as some may find with Miss Kittin's Radio Caroline. I would recommend reading reviews at both AMG and Pitchfork before making your decision, as neither review really nails it (AMG is too low/Pitchfork too high) but between the two of them you get a very accurate idea of what to expect. If you simply cannot abide the vocals but are still interested in trying something in the DJ Kicks series, I would suggest Kruder and Dorfmeister's contribution. For those wanting a more recent release, Fila Brazillia's "Another Fine Mess" is fantastic, though many of the mainstream reviewers seem to have missed it.

I agree...,
By A Customer
This review is from: Dj Kicks (Audio CD)
I agree with another reviewer that this is just average and that DJ Kicks should have left his stuff off the disc and let the tracks stand on their own. This is good, but not a house of fire.If you're looking for more of a hard edge sound without vocals than I recommend mr.deviant's "Techno Obsession" over this CD.
