I first heard about Kollektiv Turmstrasse when I discovered 'Tristesse EP' on Connaisseur back in 2007, it highlighted quickly the special touch of this German group's productions in that period of minimal techno mass productions.But make no mistake, their first (physical) album "Rebellion Der Träumer" is far from their other Minimal productions, more House/Dub/Tribal oriented, they managed to produced not only the best album of 2010 in my opinion, but maybe one of the most impressive piece of music of the first decade of the 2000's as well.Extremely well produced, with a huge effort in beat making, each track owns its proper feeling that build together a very emotional, unique and moody atmosphere. Dramatic strings, heavy bass-lines, killing beats, haunting voices or beautiful vocals, this album is an hymn to the Nature and the Beauty of the Music itself.Impossible to find a best track on it: the haunting "Affekt" as intro track, "Sphäre" for the impressive heavy Bass-line, the wonderful "Heimat" for its amazing crying strings, the killer "Schwindelig" that almost break my heart each time I listen to it, the melodic and insistent "Addio Addio"... what an absolutely stunning album!"Rebellion Der Träumer" is one of these so rare albums I'm pretty sure I will listen during years each time amazed by its quality. Unique and Wonderful: own it, keep it, love it!

It's very good to find such a detailed informative review of something I don't know how I missed out on at the time!!! I should have this album as had all the other earlier amazing releases such as Tristesse etc so will be buying and listening now to this asap as it's right up my street by your description... THx alot xx
