Karaoke Kalk is out of Cologne, with four releases so far (supposedly a
fifth one is out?). The style of the first couple releases is in the
freestyle electro vein, think Metamatics meets Mouse on Mars. I don't have
KK03, but KK04 features a rather unconventional drum'n'bass track and some
nice trip-hop on the flip. The music is quite worthwhile, the design is
even rather nice, but I wouldn't say they deserve all the hype they've
been getting.
