Sven vath has been pushing musical boundaries for decades and in his latest collection of tracks from his sessions at Ibiza's Cocoon club he continues to refuse to go with the popular flow.
Much of the music collected here is new to most people and none of it is simple dance tune stuff. Many tracks are extremely layered and complex and are as likely to make you think as get up and dance. This is nothing new with Vath he has always gone that little bit deeper with both his own music and that he chooses.
The overall theme is a relaxed, blissed out kind of vibe as opposed to a thumping dancefloor soundtrack and this is especially so on the 2nd disc.
The mixing here is 1st class and segueways are very difficult to spot. So too the packaging goes that extra bit to give a very nice presentation.
Overall this is a great album that continues to showcase well an artist who can both surprise and delight.
If you liked this then try the 'Touch themes' remixes of 'harlequin...' it's superb.
