surprises like El Baile Aleman. Since the mid-90s he has been one of the most imaginative and entertaining producers (concept-wise) on the electronic music scene, creating an astonishing body of work under a bewildering variety of nom-de-disques including Atomheart, Flanger (with Burnt Friedman), Lassique Benthaus, LB, Geez 'n' Gosh and many more. This latest project was inspired principally by Schmidt's move to Chile a few years ago, where he began to explore Latin sounds and came up with the idea of merging them with the most contrastive sound he could think of: the rigid electronica of Kraftwerk. This attempt to meld supposedly polarised sounds shouldn't really work, but on it does. Though the album has a live, organic and thoroughly Latin feel to it, it was created solely by Schmidt on computers (apart from some vocalists he brought in)--his way of showing the blurred lines between live and programmed sounds. The stiff, reserved sounds of Germany's electronic legends give way surprisingly easily to Schmidt's swings and rumbas, lending the music a sexy edge it never quite had before. There's a political dimension too, in the fusion of first world electronica and third world folk sounds, which won't have escaped academic Schmidt, but first and foremost this is about making computers sound fun. Genius. --Paul Sullivan
