 Dominik Eulberg, an ornithologist-hobbyist and techno producer in one, has made an incredible career within the last couple of years. His tracks were and still are played by DJs from all over Europe, and he himself has consecutively been voted “best producer” by various music magazines for three years running. In any case justly, as his output significantly stands out when compared to other techno productions. But ‘Heimische Gefilde’ unfortunately disappoints. The idea itself of recording an album inspired by the voices of nature, additionally supplemented by the artist’s narrations on birds and the forest, seemed to be interesting, but misfired. Firstly, Eulberg’s commentary is in German, so not too many people in Europe will understand what he is saying. Secondly, the music, which is normally the reason we buy records, on the album is, briefly put, poor. After the nicely dark and promising ‘Afraid of Seeing Stars?’, Dominik serves us productions as complicated as melodies played on the cymbals in kindergarten (‘Adler’, ‘Klangteppichverleger Wolle’). Nature is not as simple as Eulberg describes it. Well, even an owl can utter sounds of more than three notes, so I don’t really comprehend the artist’s intention knowing that he could have done better. There are obviously also better numbers like ‘Die Alpenstrandläufer von Spiekeroog’, ‘Feldgrille’, or ‘Harzer Roller’, but that is just not enough to rate the album as successful.  Comments[0]
