Swimmingpool: Good Old Music
Title: Good Old Music
Label: Combination
Product Type: VINYL LP
Two LP pressing. This is the long-awaited second album from Michael Scheibenreiter and Stefan Schwander (Antonelli electr., Repeat Orchestra), AKA Swimmingpool. A good four years have passed since the producers from Düsseldorf landed their debut-coup, which spawned club hits galore and casually invented, according to Kompakt-authority Tobias Thomas, a new genre called "dubn'bass." Good Old Music brings the two very close to the dance floor, which is a well known area for them, due to their reputations as experienced and well-versed dance music producers. During the production of the album they aimed for a clear, easy and uplifting flow. Typical sounds and sound-fragments are augmented with micro-musical set pieces; a guitar-lick here, a piano-hook there. The strings are plucked, the basses are dry and funky, as if they were played by Bernard Edwards himself, and the whole thing is embedded into a solid, softly powerful bass drum. Combination. 2006.
Tracks:
1.1 Chic Plaza
1.2 Bernard
1.3 I'm Thirtyfour
1.4 Last Night
1.5 Carbono
1.6 Black Barrym
1.7 Bilk Madness
1.8 Carpet Sweeper
1.9 Soul Made Pling
1.10 Dark Hourse Twinkles
