5.0 out of 5 stars Appropriately Titled Triple Mix CD, 19 Feb 2008
By R. Mullaney (Leeds, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Finally, it seems we may have a new triple mix CD to rival Tom Middleton's classic 'The Sound of the Cosmos.' New York based disco genius, Francois K was chosen by the Ministry of Sound to compile and mix 'Masterpiece' and they couldn't have picked a better man for the job. Listeners expectations would be high of any CD with a title this bold, so Francois pulled out all the stops to deliver an amazing mix.

The mix is split into 3 different sounds, inspired by cities Francois loves and regularly plays in:

Disc 1: Napoli. This is the big room house CD. The ambient intro morphs into Dubfire's 'Ribcage' and sets the tone for the mix. Francois blends deep house, minimal techno, acid and peak time floorfillers to create an exciting but accessible mix that's not too underground but still doesn't tread old ground.

Disc 2: Manchester. Techno. Francois is just as happy dropping techno cuts from Len Faki, Airfrog and Joris Voorn. High tempo and high energy mix.

Disc 3: Tokyo. This is an interesting mix. Things start very slow and low and get a little more eclectic. There is still a house sense to proceedings but nodding towards slower funk and electronica.

Overall, this is one hell of a listening experience. Sometimes the mixing can be a little urgent and there is the odd galloping beat but Francois K is a master of creating a vibe through music and he certainly delivers a masterpiece.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another Essential Mix..., 29 Feb 2008
By Lee J. Garrington "Lee" (Birmingham, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Francois K's `Essential Mix' double CD release from 2000 is the finest mix CD I own, so any new release from the man is always something to look forward to, especially one covering 3 CDs! So how does this mix compare to that classic? Well the two are very different. Essential Mix was a wildly eclectic freestyle mix covering everything from Dub Techno, to Funk, Afro-House to Hip-Hop. Masterpiece is essentially an in-depth exploration of House, Techno and the cross over between the two.

CD1 contains the big tunes, which are proven to work the floors across the world. However there is nothing obvious about the selection. Standouts include the ominous, skeletal Villalobos rework of Shakleton's `Blood on my hands', Dubfire's forceful Techno on `Ribcage' and deep electronic classic `Shrinkansen' by Tom Middleton. The only letdown is the Deadmau5 track, which to me sounds like generic Trance.

CD2 increases the pace with the finest Techno mix I have heard since John Selway's `Lightwave' mix from a few years ago. There is a perfect balance between harder tracks and a deeper Detroit flavoured approach as well as a good balance between forgotten classics and standout new releases. The move from Fumiya Tanaka's percussive minimalism into Joris Voorn's widescreen euphoric Techno shows a true master at work. Ben Simm's acid track leads into timeless Detroit gems from Kenny Larkin and Rob Hood. By the time you hear the classic `Time, Space, Transmat' refrain on `Nightdrive (thru Babylon), you know Techno does not get much better than this.

CD3 is the most varied of the three where we get something nearer to what Francois would play on one of his `anything goes' mixes. We start off with a quite experimental electronic sound and a great mix of `little fluffy clouds'. Some off-the-wall house gives way to deep house music with an increasingly afro-centric vibe and some deep and percussive tribal business. Finishing with some real-deal wild African street funk from Congo's finest Konono No 1. Personally, I would have liked CD3 to be less House-oriented and to feature more Drum n Bass, Dub or Dubstep for example but hey this is a Ministry of Sound mix!

Overall another superb selection from one of the worlds finest DJs...

3.0 out of 5 stars 3 CD,s but only one standout.
I agree with Huntley's review above - the first CD is unimpressive, the second better and CD really hits the spot. Read more
