English:CD-review
  Van Muylem    25 november 2022

Yes, it's true - Impersonator 4 by Carlos Perón is here, in a cinematographic sound that has never been heard before. 15 great tracks and aural sculptures penetrate the auditory canals of the inclined listener. This collection of aural art is a must for any modern player. If you live in a rented apartment, adequate and powerful headphones are recommended. There could be warnings from fellow residents. Carlos Perón pushed the controls further up and the result is simply stunning and produces permanent goosebumps.


Hello Music Lovers 2600 Is Here sounds like a good introduction song that mixes retro electronic sounds with a very futuristic touch. It’s all imbedded in an alternative mix. It’s typical for Carlos Péron and thus very special!

You Will Do (Feat. Jaymz Bee) mixes the Yello era with 2022. You will here modern techno mixed with electro and all kind of alternative stuff! I’m sure old school fans will also adore this one! The extra vocals are pretty cool and render the modern touch into perfection!

Deadly Dust From Outer Space gives us a jazzy floating feel. Be ready to step on board of the Star Trek vessel and go to places where humans go for the very first time! Sound wise this song mixes a classic piano with modern beeps and blips.

The World Started To Move Slow mixes one of the most famous guitar riffs (taken from Led Zeppelin: Whole Lotta Love) with modern hip hop and electro wave. At some point this song sounds like some kind of mega mix.

What A Wonderful Kiss sounds like the kind of music you hear in trendy restaurants and discos. It’s clear this song is a hit! Enjoy the music and dance along! The deep bass voice (Barry White) of the master of deep voice also helps a lot (next to the percussion). I also hear LouisArmstrong singing What aWonderful world.

After The Victory (Didi Mateschotz Mix) sounds like a mix between blues, trance and rock. Everything is perfectly mixed and one genre slides into the other one! Bravo!

Imbassinator (Feat. Marci Machine) starts like a typical electro track, but gets a more alternative touch and a trancy touch. I’m sure it could be a hit without those 2 last things.

Dream Date uses a famous intro from a horror movie and gives us like this a perfect Halloween track, together with the devilish kind of vocals. I would have cut out the female vocals and give it more bass.

Impersonator der Redenschwinger(Feat. Marci Machine) mixes industrial/minimal wave with a song that could have become a electro/techno dancefloor filler.

Nachtstrom Mit Angst sounds like a great electro track, but the female vocals sound a bit too high and too much pitched whilst the bass is really great next to the synth!

A Barrel Of A Gun(El Presidente Perón Yeah John) sounds really good and exciting with cool techno & electro minded vibes! Shake it really good and fill the dancefloor! Here come’s Johnny!

Nothing Is True; Every Thing Is Permitted (Slow New Beat Version 2022) is exactly what the title says about this song: a slow New Beat version 2022!

I Love Korean Girls sounds like a hit from the 80’s with female vocals and a classic Japanese touch. The synth sounds very bombastic.

Nostromo is a state of the art trance track without real vocals, with a roaring bass sound and a synth on the lead.

We Know How To Play (Feat. Steven James) sounds like a great trance/techno minded track with a good bass line! This song also ha s a very sexy male touch.

Well not all the tracks are my cup of tea, but that makes this album so interesting as it goes for a wide range of music lovers and mixes old school with modern. Next to that you hear a lot of different styles and yes even some Yello influences (lol). I’m pretty sure a lot of fans will be pleased with this album!
