"The Sound of the Eighth Season" is not a mix compilation like all others. Even the fact that this series of Mix-albums is facing its eighth edition now does not show many parallels to other (Techno) compilations.
Besides the success of the "Season" series during the last seven years, Cocoon and Cocoon Recordings look back to a highly successful year since the Closing Party of 2006. The eighth season – themed "Freakshow" – broke all records. Despite a hard beginning with the move to the "Privilege" exile, Cocoon Ibiza was able to boost both the numbers of visitors and the level of party spirit. Legendary nights, incredible DJ sets and live gigs, an almost unique crowd and a Sven Väth who was in top form during the whole summer. Also, the official Freakshow album by André Galluzzi and Raresh was one of the main gadgets in summer 2007 in order to get the Ibiza feeling at home. Unforgettable performances by the grandmasters Ricardo Villalobos and Richie Hawtin or the live performance of shooting star Guy Gerber from Israel round up the image of a perfect season.
On the eighth edition of the "Sound..." series, one can also find – besides the big hits of the Cocoon summer – some new wild youngsters, who not only keep the wheel turning but even give it more drive. So, Tolga Fidan – a name not being too well-known to many – has made it to the tracklisting of Sven's Mix-album already for the second time; the greek-british newcomer Argy is also part of the Ibiza retrospective 2007. And when it comes to newcomers, the name Martin Buttrich is actually one not to be missed. Although being one of the senior producers in Techno and House since the early nineties and the man behind many Timo Maas or Loco Dice hit records, Martin has not taken the step to an international solo career so far. This has definitely changed after outstanding releases on Planet E, PokerFlat as well as with remixes for Tracy Thorn (ex-Everything-But-The-Girl). His next release for Cocoon Recordings is already in the pipeline and has also made it to Sven's Mix-album.
With this Mix, Sven Väth, the man behind the Seasons series and Cocoon mastermind, does not give his opinion of what Techno was, is or might be, but he rather delivers the soundtrack to a certain concept of life. Already in the past, Väth has included House hymns like "Timbuktu" by New York's Jerome Sydenham (Ibadan Records) in his Ibiza retrospective and in this tradition, he presents one of the big summer tunes of 2007 on the current volume: Carl Craig's remix of Junior Boys' "Like A Child".
However, the most important factor of the enduring success of Sven Väth is this certain extra portion of courage that distinguishes him from many other DJs of his status. He regularly breaks with conventions and keeps his eyes and ears constantly open to new artists and their music. Jamie Jones for instance, well-known only for a short time here, represents the young generation of Techno & House artists on the eighth edition of the "Sound..." series. And as it is suitable for a brave mastermind like Sven, the album finishes with Pepe Bradock's "Rhapsody in Pain". Both the artist and the title seem to belong rather to the art scene than the Techno universe (not for nothing is the name of Bradock's label "Atavisme") - the deadpan comment an internet user made to "Rhapsody in Pain" illustrates this: "funny and disturbing, but too gross" – this seems to be exactly the right track for Sven and his current Mix-album!
Ladies and Gentlemen: THE SOUND OF THE EIGHTH SEASON, mixed by Sven Väth!

Same here...,I caught Sven in Ibiza this summer, not my thing at all.
But there are some goodies on the mix for sure...not many, though...this Plan Tec - "Espias Psiquicos" (Jonas Kopp Psiquic remix) is a killer
