Ursula 1000 - All Systems are Go-Go



Rezension von allmusic.com:

Loungecore DJ Ursula 1000 mixes a set of fun, though rather formulaic, collection of tracks for 18th Street Lounge. Over mid-tempo breaks and house rhythms, his tracks recycle the meatier parts of orchestral pop, easy listening, and instructional records for a post-ironic generation of musical horticulturists. Perhaps realizing how lightweight these grooves are, Ursula doesn't stick with the lounge sound throughout; in fact, parts of the album are surprisingly close to a turntablist record, with a bit of scratching as well as frequent breaks in the mix. Though the sound isn't as consciously "important" as more respected forms of music (like techno), All Systems Are Go-Go is a great mix album, thanks largely to great inclusions from producers all over the world: "Direct Drive" by ECD, "Margret Evening Fashion" by Le Hammond Inferno, and "Mr. Bongo" by Lemon are just three of the highlights. -- John Bush

Ursula 1000 - Kinda Kinki



Rezension von allmusic.com

Loungecore DJ/producer Ursula 1000 fashions himself the post-millennial Esquivel, populating his second production album with 14 groovy, pleasant, slightly hip throwaways that leave few stylistic stones unturned in their quest for attention. "Beatbox Cha Cha" merges Rob Base and Pérez Prado, with a little finesse and a pumping bridge, while the opening title track makes its bid for Austin Powers-style immortality with an infectious little mover featuring all the requisite touches: go-go bass line, female vocalist, sleazy guitar, and swirling Hammond organ (the latter comes courtesy of Combustible Edison's Brother Cleve). Alex Gimeno, the man behind Ursula 1000, certainly knows his musical history; he's able to quote styles ranging from bossa nova to Bollywood to blaxploitation to breakbeat hip-hop. It's not especially subtle, but Kinda' Kinky is well produced and certainly fun. -- John Bush

Auch eine klasse CD, ähnlich wie die "All Systems are Go-Go", die Lateinamerikanischen Rhythmen stehen etwas mehr im Vordergrund, die Turntabelist-Elemente sind zurückhaltender eingesetzt, immernoch partytauglich und sorgt für gute Laune. :slsk:
