Kruder 1995

Peter Kruder and Richard Dorfmeister are an Autrian duo, known world-wide for their trip hop downtempo remixes of pop, hip hop and drum and bass songs. An album had been finished by the spring of '95 and all recorded onto DAT and placed in a box. K&D pressed up 10 copies and gave 4 away to some suitably eccentric individuals. Fast-forward a quarter century and that box was discovered, the music was transferred from the DATs and K&D painstakingly rebuilt every molecule that made up the original 10 copies. The long-awaited result is here - 15 glorious tracks that will transport listeners back to the smoky haze of 1995.

Compost proudly presents the 13th chapter of this highly acclaimed compilation series. As usual FSOJ is compiled by Compost head honcho Michael Reinboth with a solid sense of leftfield tracks, punchy floorfillers, ghostly, cinematic, balearic, frazzled, bitter-sweet or mind-shaking hybrid tunes. Several magazines voted FSOJ as the one of the best compilation series of all time. With this series starting 1995 the term Future Jazz became a genre landmark.
FSOJ 13 including some exclusives, sought-after tracks and previously unreleased tracks. Some highlights are: First of all the Van Hai track in a Ripperton remix is a perfect opener into a tranquil music venture. A sheer bliss tune. Montezumas Rache "Wu Du Wu", which was only released on vinyl before - still difficult to find the original 12" - is a freaky outstanding funk hybrid…

Future Sounds of Jazz, Vol. 7 combines smooth jazz layered with progressive drum'n'bass, equally pleasing for dancing or intense listening. This release from the German Compost label includes Universal Principles, Stephane A, Peter Kruder, The Amalgamation of Soundz, Bonobo.
