It's an amazing thing to watch a label grow from a
one man, bedroom-based operation into one of the
worlds most influential purveyors of electronic
music. I'm willing to bet no one, including Compost
Records' founder Michael Reinboth knew that the
label would still be going as strong as ever 13
years later. So what's with all this Compost
nostalgia? It's all about their 250th release,
"Freshly Composted Vol. 2". Out of the 13 tracks
here, 7 are exclusive mixes and each one reveals
another facet of Compost's diverse, but focused
personality
It kicks off with a great cut from Beanfield called
"Tides". It's remixed in a Detroit influenced,
minimal house style by Carl Craig, growing from a
softly bubbling bass line and vocals into a
beautifully rhythmic analog synth burner. A number
of the tracks here borrow from Detroit's unique
House style, pulling out all the best parts from
some classic 80's styled synth work.
The Felix Laband track is a really nice piece
called "Whistling In Tongues" that's remixed by
Todd Terje. The sound reaches back to Ibiza's early
Balearic beats but keeps the shore at arms length.
The Marsmobil song "Mangia Amore" is just an
incredible analog electro-Medieval fusion (hold it!
did I just say that?). Moodymann mixes up Alif
Tree's amazing dusty jazz cut "Forgotten Places",
which features the voice of Shirley Horn from "L.A.
Breakdown". In this rendition we see the
intersection of two highways; the jazz route of the
original version merging unexpectedly (and head-on)
with a 4-lane coming straight out of Detroit.
Shahrokh Soundofk, Jean-Paul Bondy, Nova Dream
Sequence, and Karma keep the sound well inside
Detroit's city limits and thankfully the bpm's stay
mid-tempo.
Ben Mono drops some nice laid-back funk called
"Jesus Was A B-Boy". Nice this one! The album
version of Harvey Lindo's "Rugged Individuals"
follows and keeps the hip-hop influence and
mellowed out breaks going strong. Things take a
turn down into deep jazz sounds with Soil & Pimp
and Koop who finish out the collection with their
own little waltz.
Nicely compiled, very nice mixes (though at times a
challenging listen) and well-suited to the
mid/down-tempo, Detroit, jazz and hip-hop
influenced taste.
