A powerful and noteworthy debut
author: Sibilance
Tristraum set the bar high with this compelling first release, scoring remixes from giants such as Assemblage 23 and Echo Image. My personal favorites are the original version of "Shiver", and the Echo Image and Empire State Human remixes. Yes, there are a lot of remixes here, but they are quite diverse in style. The addition of two b-sides makes the maxi-single not only a tempting buy, but a bargain. Definitely worth picking up!

A band to follow - one to avoid :-)

Trisraum (www.tristraum.com) a US act that is about to see their "Shiver" single released, well, if I have to play at a party again, i'm pretty sure I'll pick one or two or three or four or even five of the 10 mixes on there to spin. It's really a marvelous release with amongst other a damn good one by Echo Image, to purchase for sure. It's out on Intrapop, dunno who distributes it but check their website to find out. Good stuff, also Tom Shear did a remix which is quite good to use in electroclubs, but I prefer the dance versions... what a relief after having killed my ears on listening to that crap from Janus, HORRIBLE, I still don't get what people see in such a band...
