We Say...
Several of Kompakt's divergent strains come together in the work of Brazil's Gui Boratto: anthemic trance, singalong pop and lean, powerful techno. No wonder 2007's Chromophobia was such a hit, garnering rave critical reviews and drawing crowds around the globe to Boratto's expert, energetic live show. Despite the album's title, the music bears far more in common with its brightly hued cover: Boratto's chords and counterpoints practically explode with tone color. Despite his straight-ahead rhythms — all four-to-the-floor kicks, steadfast snares and zippy 16th-note hi-hats — he's not afraid to trip up his rhythms now and then: "Gate 7" tilts like an angry pinball machine, beginning on a false downbeat that's surely trainwrecked more than one cavalier DJ. With its aching ostinatos and matter-of-fact lyrics, "Beautiful Life" ("What a beautiful life/ What a beautiful life/ What a beautiful world") is the album's emotional-overload centerpiece (if also the track most likely to be shoehorned for a thousand car commercials) — the kind of electro-pop statement of purpose that comes along once in a generation.
“ The indie iTunes — Hardcore music fans are migrating to eMusic, the iTunes Music Store's cheaper, cooler cousin.”
