Various - Audiophonik: music for the scene generation
Fusecon / Imphobia
Artist: Various
Title: Audiophonik: music for the scene generation
Label: Fusecon (www.fusecon.com / Imphobiawww.imphobia.com
In any genre of music there is always a fine line between what is considered underground and commercial. Audiophonik, a compilation from Imphobia Records, dances on this line and seems to trip over it a couple times too. The first four tracks stand strong on the underground side, as they are different and not the generic techno that seems to be coming from all angels lately. Track four, "giving tree: is where the CD starts to loose its grip. The track is a generic club hit, the kind of dull cookie-cutter stuff that is being stamped out and not thought out. Tracks like this are the mainstream's favorite for a month, only to disappear into the music netherworld. The CD showcases some great talent like Sweden's Erik "Zodiak" Stridell, which keeps the CD afloat. Some labels guarantee success with their artists and show consistency with them as well, not the case with Imphobia, the label behind Audiophonik. Though this CD is a great sample plate of what the label has to offer, second tastes of each dish are not always welcome.
