"Two LP pressing. This is the long-awaited second album from Michael Scheibenreiter and Stefan Schwander (Antonelli electr., Repeat Orchestra), AKA Swimmingpool. A good four years have passed since the producers from Düsseldorf landed their debut-coup, which spawned club hits galore and casually invented, according to Kompakt-authority Tobias Thomas, a new genre called ""dubn'bass."" Good Old Music brings the two very close to the dance floor, which is a well known area for them, due to their reputations as experienced and well-versed dance music producers. During the production of the album they aimed for a clear, easy and uplifting flow. Typical sounds and sound-fragments are augmented with micro-musical set pieces; a guitar-lick here, a piano-hook there. The strings are plucked, the basses are dry and funky, as if they were played by Bernard Edwards himself, and the whole thing is embedded into a solid, softly powerful bass drum. Combination. 2006." Chic Plaza, Bernard, I'm Thirtyfour, Last Night, Carbono, Black Barrym, Bilk Madness, Carpet Sweeper, Soul Made Pling, Dark Hourse Twinkles
