KS & Solar Moon System: Ultimate Docking?

Anyone know if this is a worthy purchase? i checked the original from the box set on youtube, not sure what to make of it. Just want to hear others opinions of it.

Well - I'm actually a big fan of the original Solar Moon System album "Logbook 94-00" (which was produced by KS). Brilliant 90ies contemporary chill-out electronica with just the right dose of krautrock flavour via O' Finken's restrained guitar playing mixed in here and there. Many great songs - I really love that!

For the tracks on "Docking" (from CW 1) I like that, too - obviously, as the tracks are longer and are basically typical KS efforts in the vein of what he did around that time (the late 90ies). It's - except for the vocals - more or less in the same style than most of CW 1.

Most of the vocal parts are, as far as I remember, remixes of actual songs from Logbook. So maybe we can say that "Docking" is Klaus' vision (or messing around) with these...

And I have to say: in their shorter, original form I like the songs (as such) much better.

That said, "Docking" is a pleasurable and also (when you compare it to SMS's original album) "academically" interesting listen...

Whether one enjoys it or not will depend on one's attitude to the "contemporary chill-out" sound Klaus was producing at that time.

Then - I've heard that this new release also contains previously unreleased material; I think it might be more in the same vein...

Thanx for feedback , will give it a go

Received my copy just the other day; I think the bonus tracks / versions on CD 2 are quite cool (...of course, I liked the originals in the first place).
