Mottek - Countdown 1982 2012

Review by Nick Detmer

Countdown 1982-2012 by Mottek is an incredible musical journey that takes listeners on a nostalgic ride through the past three decades. The album features some of the most iconic songs from the 80s, 90s, and 2000s, all reimagined in Mottek's signature style.

The album kicks off with a stunning rendition of Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean," which sets the tone for the rest of the album. From there, the listener is taken on a musical journey through the decades, with standout tracks like "Sweet Dreams" by Eurythmics, "I Will Always Love You" by Whitney Houston, and "Umbrella" by Rihanna.

Mottek's unique take on these classic songs is refreshing and innovative. He manages to breathe new life into each track, while still paying homage to the original versions. The arrangements are top-notch, with each instrument perfectly placed to create a cohesive and captivating sound.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Everybody's Changing" by Keane. Mottek's version is hauntingly beautiful, with his emotive vocals perfectly capturing the essence of the song. Another highlight is "Chasing Cars" by Snow Patrol, which is given a new lease on life with Mottek's stripped-down acoustic version.
