"Or" by Goldenboy

Ripping Kittin by Goldenbly featuring Miss Kittin

So just recently I've found a nice deal on the most popular search engine in the world (which is supposedly ebay, not too shockingly...) on a CD that I wanted but couldn't find in the stores around town. The CD is called Or by Goldenboy, a DJ from Hamburg, Germany. I started looking for his stuff after stumbling across a song of his with Miss Kittin which I loved. Ripping Kittin - the song that got me hooked on - is supposedly the best-received song on the whole album, which I later realized also and couldn't agree more with. After listening to the sample clips of all the songs on amazon, I've decide that it's worth the risk to purchase and add the album to my mini collection of CDs that is usually neglected and left out in the dark to collect dust.

After a week of impatient waiting, the CD finally came. And as usual with my luck with shipped CDs, the teeth of the hub that holds the CD in place are mostly broken, or maybe that's why the CD is that cheap, almost as cheap as the shipping fees actually.

Next comes the listening part. Miss Kittin, with her sexy voice, is present in many of the songs, and some reviews even claimed that the only success of the album is having Miss Kittin in the songs. After listening to the whole CD for a while, I can't help but start to agree a bit to that comment as well. But by far, the most successful is still Ripping Kittin. Some of the songs in the album can sometimes feel a bit repetitive, tiring and cheesy and are just asking to be skipped. But overall, the CD still gets your head shaking and heart beating.
