After more than seven years as a core artist on Dirt Crew Recordings, and an impressive 13 EPs in that period - either solo or together with his colleague Till von Sein - Berlin's Alexander Krueger has finally put together his first full artist album for the Dirt Crew outfit. The album also features several collaborations with established artists like Ulrich Schnauss, Eddie Richards, and of course Till (all luminaries in their respective fields of electronica, techno, and house), plus new producers and vocalists Alexander has been working with, such as The Lazarusman, Sebastian Oehlschlegel, and Uffe.

Alexander Krueger is one of Germany's most consistent producers, with an extensive Discogs discography dating back to the mid-nineties when he began under the aliases Korsakow and Dub Taylor on classic labels like Force Tracks, Mueller, and Raum Musik. This artist's output is immense, not only solo under his three aliases but also in collaboration with other producers, with his work alongside DJ Phonique being particularly noteworthy. Furthermore, it has been nine years since his last "proper" album on Resopal Schallware in 2004, so "All Those Goodbyes" comes as a long-awaited breath of fresh air for Tigerskin fans.

On the album, you'll find 14 tracks that reflect a wide variety of styles: from an initial deep house direction, moving through electro nuances and more contemplative ambient in the middle section, to a powerful techno closer culminating in the beatless beauty of "Burning Down Paris." In "All Those Goodbyes," Alexander Krueger shows us his musical universe and his love for the multiple styles that coexist within electronic music.

The vinyl edition of Tigerskin's album "All Those Goodbyes" includes 3 exclusive tracks not featured on the CD version: "The Essence," "Out of Breath," and "The King Always Stays the King," three club bombs ready to destroy the dancefloor. As part of this 2LP, the strongest dancefloor-oriented tracks from the CD edition were also included.
