Customer Reviews:

Potpurri, um ... no, this is a smorgasbord of aural delights!.......2006-05-26

Potpurri sounds like too light and fluffy a name to give to this flambouyant and diverse selection of tech house tracks by two of the best rerubbers in all of electronic music. Gabor Schablitski and Soren Bodner are the Wignomy Brothers, and Gabor also works alone under the alias Robag Wruhme. Most of the tracks are remixed courtesy of Robag, who seems to be the more active member of the Wighnomy Brothers. He's been busy long after this album remixing current tracks like Matthias Tanzmann's Bulldozer and Ellen Allien and Apparat's new track Way Out (you gotta hear this one).

Here we have a dozen tracks and I only disliked two of them, one was track 2, with it's dreadful, cheesy techno vocals, and track 10, Alter Ego's Daktari, simply because Robag added in a constant loop of someone clearing their throat! It continues throughout nearly every part of the track and it's very, very annoying. I don't think coughing is meant to be a pleasurable sound in any form of music. Look for the Matt John or the Ricardo Villalobos remixes, both which are excellent takes on this track. That's about the only track you can say that someone other than Robag remixed it and made it sound better.

As for the rest of the CD, it's an incredible array of minimal, techno, tech house, soulful vocals, reggae style vocals, and your never sounding the same remixes of some great tracks. Robag ends the CD with an exclusive track of his own, which is a hard hitting breaks track.

Also on here is what I consider to be one of the top 5 best remixes of all time in the electronic world: the Wighnomy Bros. and Robag Wruhme Bukkelflipps Remix of This World by Slam featuring Tyrone Palmer. If you listen to the original, it's worlds away, and they certainly made this one otherworldly, and it's going down as a classic slice of tech house history. From the ee-choo-uhn vocal snippet, to the rubbery horns building in and out, to the scorching hot breaks, this is has been one of the hottest tracks in house/breakbeat/tech house, crossing multiple genre barriers and rising to the top of 'em all. The remix on here has the vocals by Tyrone Palmer, which were chopped down and far less than the original single. There is also their dub, not found on here, which leaves out all the vocals, and I usually prefer that one, even though the vocals are good. It just sounds slick getting to enjoy all the perks of the track vocal free.
