Surprisingly Loud is only the debut LP from German house don Timo Maas, a super-talented remixer and incendiary club DJ who's risen into the international DJ super-league through a mixture of hard work and no-nonsense crowd-pleasing. Now, though, it seems he wants to be the Chemical Brothers as well. Loud is a proper artist album--fourteen tracks of mainstream, club-friendly electronica, peppered with special guests, and bulging with the sort of eclectic muscle to rock the alternative crowd as well as the club fraternity.
The opening "Help Me", all ghostly theremin and funky deep house bassline, features an uncharacteristically-restrained vocal performance from Kelis, while an on-form Finley Quaye weighs in with a handful of demented, stoned ramblings on the shimmering, psychedelic "Caravan". Elsewhere, the chunky acid squelch of "Manga" and the Teutonic disco pulse of "Shifter", featuring the warping vocals of garage MC Chick-a-boo should appeal to fans of the tune that made Maas' name back in 2000, his pioneering overhaul of Azzido Da Bass' "Dooms Night".
Ultimately, Loud is a spot more refined, progressive and laid-back than the cartoonish pop antics of this record's closest precedent, Fatboy Slim's You've Come A Long Way Baby--but it might just catapault Timo Maas into a similar league. --Louis Pattison
