"It's amazing that you find an artist album by any artist in any genre these days, with you always finding at least 2-6 duds on an album of 10-15 tracks. Not so with my last two incredible purchases. One was the techno CD Home by Thomas Schumacher, and this incredible tech house and minmal stunner by German tech maestro Pascal Feos. He had a part in the 4 dj monster of a mix entitled Rave on Snow Vol. 14 which came out at the end of 2005 (a scorching hot tech house and minimal mix), and now he's got an artist album of all his own tracks, which are continuously mixed to keep a nice flowing going througout this 71 minute CD.



He starts off with some slower paced minimal tracks for the first part of the CD, then eases into some very uptempo and exciting tech house the rest of the way through. There isn't a single bad track on here, and it really sounds like a DJ mix of various artist's tracks rather than all by one person, as they each are unique enough to not lose interest for the duration. Standouts include the title track, Synaptic, and the Robag Wruhme Remix of Tanzbombe, that was also one of my favorites off the Wighnomy Bros. Remikks Potpurri CD.



If you are into some of the best tech house on offer, you can amazingly find it all from one person. His artist album is stronger than most mixes I've heard, with it's continous play, and it's one of the best CD's I've bought in '06. You also need to track down Thomas Schumacher's Home, as it's another continuous mix of techno and tech house, loaded with killer tracks throughout."
