Lützenkirchen has certainly opened up a box of sinful pleasures with his debut album Pandora Electronica. Welcome to a packed-out double album of frequency heaven, with 13 tracks in CD 1 and a voluptuous 25 ‘best-of’ tracks in CD 2. Together, they create a perfect flow of smooth and hypnotic beats.
Musician, producer and Germany’s electro genius Tobias Lützenkirchen (aka Lützenkirchen) has played all over the world since he first started spinning. And yes, that is indeed his real name. Since the release of Daily Disco in 2005, still one of the most successful releases to come out of the Great Stuff label, he has produced and mixed a huge (putting it lightly) amount of music. Since their union in 2006, he has personally engineered and remixed all tracks from electro-veteran Tomcraft. Many of his homegrown fans are still reveling in his chart topping 3 Tage Wach (the official anthem of the Melt Festival ‘08 in Germany). When you look, you realise he is one of those artists that’s always there, hidden in the credits. This guy does not sleep!
Despite his current heavy electro theme, Lützenkirchen maintains the techno edge that has been his passion since a young boy. Although not much is known in Australia about him, especially since most of the information about him is in German, he is certainly destined to leave a big mark on all aspects of electronic music. One of his biggest dreams is to compose a classical/orchestral background to his very own full movie score.
So if you choose to take this album home, be prepared for all the intensified frequencies that pop out. Bells are ringing, or so it seems in Bahia Melody. Be prepared to fall into a silent trance, edging deeper courtesy of tracks like Super Duper. The album then flows beautifully into the dirtier, heavier The End Of Chords. There are so many elements and skills showcased in all of his tracks; I doubt I could give it descriptive justice.
It’s not an album you can really play at a 21st or with your hyper, daytime friends. It is, however, certainly an album you can pull out after a big night out, with all your friends sprawled on the floor of your lounge, saying nothing; just reminiscing on the journey of the night.
Pandora Electronica is out now through Great Stuff/Inertia.
