The Berlin based Monika label has always been a major supporter of music written and/or played by women in Germany, maybe the most well known being Masha Qrella and Barbara Morgenstern. Therefore, 2005´s first volume of this series perfectly fit in the label's catalog. It compiled the music of four relatively unknown female artists on one compilation. It starts with five tracks by Austrian born and New York resident Dorit Chrysler. Next are three longer tracks by Japanese artist Mico. Third is Monotekktoni, the solo project of Tonia Reeh and the definite peak of the compilation. The last four pieces by Barcelona´s Iris are more harmonic. Iris plays this certain kind of electronic music known from artists like mùm or Gustav that despite it's melancholy leaves nothing but positivity behind. It's a good ending to a felicitous compilation bringing the music of four relatively unknown female artists to a wider audience, a very supportable cause indeed. 2006., Runningtime: 00:00:00, Labelcode MONK52.2
