Computer Incarnations of World Peace 1 + 225 April 2008
I was a huge fan of Sonar Kollektiv’s Computer Incarnations for World Peace so was pretty chuffed to see that Computer Incarnations of World Peace 2 was on sale at Phonica .
The first one in the series was a eclectic but cohesive selection of tracks, largely from the 70’s and 80’s, and spanning everything from weird tropical sounding disco to 80’s grooves. The track I think about and love the most on the record is Talking Drums’ ‘Courage’ .
If you’re expecting more of the same on Computer Incarnations For World Peace 2 then you’re going to be sorely disappointed, and at first I was. I should have read the front cover, where the compilations is described as: ‘topical disco + new age boogie’. Luckily enough, once my disappointed subsided, I realised that the album was pretty good in its own right. All the tracks were made post 2000 and most are either English or Scandinavian. The high point for me is Al Usher’s ‘Lullaby for Robert’ .
