A Touch of Bliss

"This is something truly beautiful. Peter Kruder (of the famous "Kruder & Dorfmeister") definitely proves his skills as a solo producer on this album. It manages to create that ethereal feeling so prized by Acid Jazz and Trip-Hop producers, while still maintaining listenability through consistent yet subtle drum beats.Kruder's caught a lot of flak for the horns and vocals used on some of the tracks, but I attribute a lot of this criticism to sheer ignorance from the downtempo "purists" out there. The vocal and brass samples manage to give "Meister Petz" a somewhat festive feel, and enhance the brooding mood of "Who am I" and "Shining".Every sound Kruder uses on this album bends and shapes the mood like a clay sculpture. The textures are rich but not bombastic, and the album maintains a feeling that is brooding and mystical but not excessively sparse or depressed.This one is at least as vital a downtempo recording as Portishead's "Dummy", or anything Kruder and/or Dorfmeister have previously recorded.Peace Orchestra is one of the most beautiful records I have ever beheld. Get it."
DA BOMB!!!

"I have to say that once I heard this disc, it made me think, "what else have I been missing?" I never realized that such enveloping music existed. I had never heard anything like this before, and as soon as I had, I was hooked. Anyone would like this. I have showed it to a variety of people who all have different tastes in music, and everyone loves it. There is no way for me to describe how excellent this CD is. I have had it for 5 months now, listen to it faithfully, and am still not sick of it. To anyone who has come across this disc and is reading this review, BUY IT. You will not be sorry. You wouldn't be reading this if it wasn't related to what you wanted."
Peter Kruder is the saivor of electronic music...

"and this album is 100% proof of this fact. I have owned this cd for about a year, and I am still listening to it, uncovering new layers of music. Straight off, Kurder captivates you with "The Man Part 1", drums and etherial sounds paving the way and welcoming you to his mind. From there, every other track stands out as unique and individual. I cannot pick out a favorite track because I cannot just listen to one track alone, they each compliment another, flowing beautifully from one to the next (however this is not a mix album). This album comes highly recommended and compliments any cd collection. Also, concerning those people that have only heard "Who Am I" (from the Animatrix) clearly did not listen to the entire album with a critical ear. If you are just expecitng "Who Am I", I promise you that Kruder will blow past your expectations and create an image of musical beauty that is rarely matched by any other electronic artist in the world today."
