Hit: 5 Stars
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.
Peace Orchestra Poster
The debut album by Peter Kruder (Kruder & Dorfmeister), Peace Orchestra is a blissfully crafted disc of downtempo grooves. Kruder's musical sense comes from a variety of musical capitals, including Rio de Janeiro (the fine, delicate swing), New York (thePeter Kruder of the famed duo Kruder and Dorfmeister, stays true to form (downtempo yet invigorating) on this, his first solo outing. Peace Orchestra is similar to his work in K&D, but--if possible--the music is even more serene and stoned sounding. Floaty melodies sparkle against a backdrop of gauzy reverb and echo. Vocals drift in and out of consciousness. And it's all very, very slow. The record contains less funk and groove than K&D's projects, but it's no less sensual. Dreamy is the operative word here. Much like Mixmaster Morris's superb downtempo ambient collection It's Tomorrow Already, Peace Orchestra combines the sounds of trance with the tempo of downbeat to invoke a lazy, hazy summer day. --Tricia Romano
