After that the mix moves into a pleasurable plateau of something I would call Supermodel House: beautiful and perfect music, which combines samba, disco and techno but lacks a certain danger of imperfection. Word to the wise: perfection is boring (which is the main reason why Kate Moss is far more fascinating than, say, the scientifically proven beauty of Amber Valetta). With Korova's 'Some People', helped by a great propulsive disco bass, things move on to something of a climax. The minimalist 'Ginger & Fred', product of Rainer Trüby in collaboration with Peter Kruder as Voom: Voom, is a great dance tune, reminiscent of Armani's 'Circus Bells', that segues nicely into Trüby Trio's own 'Galacia' (Zero db mix), a wonderful dreamy acid-rave track. Trüby Trio's DJ Kicks certainly presents no revolution or gives us new ways of hearing, but overall it is pleasant enough, the musical equivalent of nice daydream. Something of a narrow victory then, just worthy of making it the soundtrack to the dying moments of the great summer of 2001.
