How did the myth surrounding the proverbial "difficult second album" comeabout? And who first started the rumor that you have a lifetime to finish the firstalbum, but two years at most for the second? It's likely that all these platitudessimply got churned out of the cliché machine at some stage, but the fact remains:they are out there and they sometimes make life tough for musicians. But not forTill von Sein. The German DJ and producer simply approached the dictatorshipof the schedule with a shoulder shrug; stress rolled off him like water off a duck'sback, and he follows up his 2011 full-length debut, #LTD (SUOL 003 CD), withPrecious. But isn't Tilly the guy whose tour schedules barely leaves any corner ofthe earth untouched? That's right. In reality, the years between #LTD and Preciouswere compressed into a time frame during which other artists on the scenemanage to put out a few EPs and remixes at most. More importantly, von Sein'sPrecious is not merely a follow-up: von Sein has re-calibrated himself and reassessedhis approach to creating an album. He sums up his approach torecording this release with unambiguous brevity: "I wanted the album to get to thepoint." While it's predecessor could be described as performing a loyal service tothe functional aspects of house, the tracks on this album dance to the everchangingtune of their author. Precious effortlessly does it's name justice, forming acollection of interpretations of all the musical treasures that have left the deepestimpression on von Sein as an artist. The album shifts between house, R'n'B, andsoul-inflected pop, stylishly connecting the most remote bpms and succeedingwhere many others have failed in combining dancefloor compatibility with a touchof songwriter inspiration and even airplayability. Features appearances from KidEnigma, Russoul, The Black 80s, Diamond Setter & Maria Leonard,Mr. V, and Meggy. Only available in LP+CD format.
