something we know as the "Cologne" sound, means they also don't invent
anything really new. They have their own sound which all of the artists you
mentioned have (Juan Atkins, Kenny Larkin, etc.) but in their sound they are
also repetive.... that's a simple rule in music.... you will always be
repetive in some way....
If "Let me think" is really 14 years old that it's much more impressive of
course as it still sounds fresh and not dated.

Not sure if it's quite that simple. Kompakt have a fair amount of variety,
if sticking to a basic mold most of the time. Think: Kaito, Fehlmann and a
few others that aren't immediately springing to mind. That first Kompakt Pop
release was rather different as well. Maybe I'm totally misunderstanding
though? Been out of the [313] loop for a few weeks. I have a feeling I'm
barking up the wrong tree. :/
