Various - 15 Years With Echocord (Echocord - cd015)



Echocord Records is celebrating its 15 years of releasing excellent music with the compilation '15 Years With Echocord'. Released in October 2016, it is available in both CD and vinyl formats. A compilation consisting of an exclusive selection of 10 tracks ranging from Ambient to Dub Techno from great producers in the electronic field.

From my first listen of the CD, I was totally engaged in the music. Found myself wondering with my mind in a surreal atmosphere.

The CD opens with the Ambient track 'The Ancient Scale' from STL. From the second track on-wards you enter step by step into the realm of Dub Techno, including the tracks from Arovane, Beat Pharmacy, Resoe, XDB, Luke Hess, Mikkel Metal, Fluxion, Mike Dehnert, and Deadbeat.

Tracklist:
STL - The Ancient Scale
Arovane - Struktur 1
Beat Pharmacy - Sunday
Resoe - Oblivion
XDB - Latonal
Luke Hess - Hoodmode
Mikkel Metal - Lomina
Fluxion - Origin
Mike Dehnert - Track Providing Home
Deadbeat - For Whom the Bell Tolls

I really enjoy this compilation and I highly recommend it. I rate the music as 9/10. The artwork for this release, produced by Lasse Kusk, is a pleasure to look at, especially if enjoyed on the vinyl release. I highly like the artwork used by Echocord Records on their releases, they never miss. I rate the artwork as 10/10.
The CD version is cased in a Digipack. Although I generally prefer jewel cases since they offer more protection, a Digipack case is good as well. I rate the packaging as 8/10.
