Music Review: Richard Dorfmeister vs. Madrid de los Austrias, Grand Slam - Page 2

Most of the tracks are put together from scratch (of existing material) by the trio but there are a few very well known remixes of other artists’ tracks on this compilation like Zero 7’s "In the Waiting Line" and Groove Armada’s "My Friend". The standout track on has to be the remix of Willie Bobo’s "Spanish Grease" with its Latin flavour (de los Austrias’ signature sound) which was the also the very first track on the debut recording in the Verve Remixed series.

This is bound to be a favourite this summer (thankfully not too far away for us Southern Hemisphere dwellers). It has the right balance of Dorfmeister’s smooth, laidback grooves and Madrid de Los Austrias’ Latin jazz leanings. However it would have been nice if this compilation had’ve been longer – one can’t help but feel just as you’re getting into it, it finishes. Surely it would not have been a problem for the lads to serve up a two CD/ four LP release? Perhaps we’ll just have to wait for the next time these guys decide to put out the fruits of future collaborations. They’d better do it quickly.
