Search - Cosmic Baby :: Thinking About Myself

An intriguing mixture of trance, new age, and classical

"Cosmic Baby is well-known in Europe as composer of fine melodic trance and an associate of preeminent German dj and remixer Paul van Dyk. This is not his most highly charged recording; in fact, it seems that the classical aspects of his music (mainly in the form of compositions that owe their style to Eric Satie) have been emphasized here, perhaps in hopes that it will appeal more to American ears. Cosmic Baby is capable of producing high-energy trance, as he has under his "alter ego," Energy 52 (a collaborative project with DJ Kid Paul; their "Cafe Del Mar" was one of the leading trance anthems of 1997 and 1998). What's included here is more muted, melancholy, and at times, wistful. Still, the beauty of the compositions make this a "must buy" for those who appreciate melodic electronic music."

"Very interesting album. Classical mixed with teckno. The album is worth buying just for fantasia. A distinct reminder from the "good ol" days when they played an anthem and the joy welled up inside to burst out in exstacy. A solid addition to one's collection"
