This is the second label compilation from Berlin's Karaoke Kalk, including many previously-unreleased tracks. Kalk Seeds: Karaoke Kalk Compilation No. 2 presents the listener with small and mighty (re-)discoveries by well-known performers and each and every track convinces with individual compositions, skewed beats, cheerful sound-systems and brain-fusing text passages. For example, there's the Leichtmetall sisters with their harmonized vocals, folksy trombones and glockenspiel, singing of forbidden apples, flowers and birds. There are sensual melodica sounds from Japan's Takeo Toyama, and Maluco's languorous "Kokain," is a song originally by rock musician Boris Bukowski with Argenis Brito on vocals. Also included is electronic's favorite pop-indie star Roman, who on this release is unusually loud and partygenic. Wechsel Garland continues to take care of the tender moments in life with "Tiny Stars," featuring warm piano sounds and bell chimes. The up-and-coming Leeds-based indie band Dakota Suite is also featured, and "Underpowered" is a melancholic trip to a broken heart. The guitar, usually wailing in the foreground, presents itself melodically, together with a piano and chary beats of the brushes. Finally, Le Rok's "Feierabend" features inconsistent beats but solid harmony -- just perfect to put your feet up to at home. This felicitous compilation will get you through the cold months. Other artists include: Hausmeister, Omo, Max Rouen, Donna Regina, Pascal Schäfer, The 23s, Poto&Cabengo, Toog, Hauschka, and Pluramon.
