"Live In Bogota is a record where each side plays straight through without stopping, so it works like a classic Vinyl LP. It's great to listen to at home, but is also ideal for DJs, as the energy that Hartmut generates during his live sets has been captured particularly authentically. To use the R-word again: This rocks."

"No unnecessary fuss, no superfluous frills: The new Decomposed Subsonic maxi simply combines Hartmut Wessling's two strongest sides on two sides of vinyl. 'I Never Say' is an absolute killer track featuring a nasty distorted bass. 'Whenever' is an aesthetic rocker, the like of which hardly any other producer can serve up - art that grooves and that doesn't clench its butt cheeks. And all that on 45 rpm, so that it really thumps. Hartmut is currently also making quite an impression with his Wessling/Schrom project on Boxer Records together with Stefan Schrom aka Big Chief Electric. 'Donauwellen' can not only be heard in Richie Hawtin's set, but also on the next Cocoon-Compilation, which on this occasion Sven Vath mixed with Richie."

"Decomposed Subsonic's new album offers neither super-subtle experimental tracks, nor pop in the style of Blaue Löwen. But then again?On Gradients is the lovely house-chanson, 'Etoile Bleue', which we'd be pleased to hear being sung by French schoolchildren as they skip merrily around the Eiffel Tower. Or 'Nachtlicht', which shows once again how good German-language pop music can be, and that there is really no discrepancy between this and purely electronic music. This phenomenon has more to do with song-craft than electro-pop kitsch -- if you know what I mean. So as you can hear, Hartmut Wessling hasn't made a U-turn, rather, he has focused in on his terrain. But at the same time, he has actually broadened his perspective. In the computer-jargon of graphics programs, the 'gradient' is a way of measuring the difference between one extreme and another. Also of course, from one nuance to the next... but why not let the artist speak for himself: 'For me, Gradients represents on one side, the common thread running through the variety of styles on one album. On the other hand, as far as the songs are concerned, the title is intended to mean that there are some absolutely unequivocal elements, but also the most subtle of components in the arrangement and sound design, which have come from every possible source.'"

"It was exactly one year ago that Decomposed Subsonic's 'Different View' EP was released as a second maxi on Ware and since then success for this Cologne local has been unstoppable. This live EP and with almost 35 minutes running time 'Live at Barcelona' is longer than many Beatles albums ever were. Both sides can be listened straight through without breaks though for DJs there are obviously ridges between tracks. And as a sign of our gratitude the EP is pitched at the normal price of a maxi single."
