Electronic Cologne

A Cologne compilation back from 1995, presenting many acts already or soon to be famous (Air Liquide, Mouse On Mars, The Bionaut, Rob Acid, Roland Casper, Mathias Schaffhäuser, BolzBolz, Kitbuilders, etc - check the links) plus some local guys less known, yet not at all lesser in quality.

The range covered is more or less every style that built the Cologne sound and made it what it is: acid, techno, early trance, quirky house, deep experimental ambient, it's all there. CD1 mostly covers the club oriented projects, while CD2 delves more into experimental territories. Despite some unfortunate efforts (especially the Trance Opera track), the level is quite high, even production wise. Quite oldschool in sound, still interesting though.
