My Review: Various - A Senkrecht Compilation Vol.2

 Various - A Senkrecht Compilation Vol. 2

Happy the old scribe!

Ah the compilations, those of the independent labels then!

And Senkrecht doesn't miss a beat!

Bands and songs are brought together like a perfect fashion show to brighten up the day, to give elegance and confirmation of an absolute value to musical genres that here make a truly remarkable alliance pact. What is important to note is that in this modern era, playlists are not so equivalent to compilations.

Senkrecht knows this well and demonstrates it by bringing together, with perfect logic, atoms that with different origins can coexist to form a multiple, sensible identity.

All this creates the impression of reading a book that recounts, traverses, gives and leads one to reflect on realities that have more or less emerged. There are no big names and who cares? What matters is to make room for meaning, for substance, and all the ensembles featured here are maximum expressions of unquestionable values. One can start right here for those unfamiliar with the formations in question to take a walk backwards.

The elderly scribe has no doubts: for some of you there will be exhilarating moments, where curiosity and the need for discovery will find a way. The Budapest label has always tried to offer extraordinarily restless, passionate, extreme souls to lubricate the heart with emotions that sometimes seem strange and complex.

Don't waste time and dive like eels into the beautiful murky waters of this compilation: certain body stains will be beautiful...
