andy k made a huge comp called "non album tracks" a few years back and believe me, every single song on it was pretty great. he did such a weird and wide range of techno, one of the most original producers.

Amazing how lonely sounding so much of his music is, even when it's doing hands-in-the-air communality at the same time. No idea how he continues to pull it off.
That Lullabies In The Dark remix from a couple of years ago is one of my favourite pieces of music ever.

the only tracks on my best of superpitcher playlist that haven't already been mentioned were Irre and Tell Me About It.
but Mushroom was always my favourite, such a unique mood to it.

Yeah it's very easy to just assume that there's a single "superpitcher sound" (especially based on the first album) but his remixes in particular cover a lot of ground, very inventively most of the time I think.
Not sure whether I'd listen to it an awful lot on its own but "Irre" works so so well as the opening track on the first Spiecher mix.

Tell Me About It is my jam at the moment, my housemates are SICK of me listening to it on repeat...but it's just so good. Haunting, melancholy, sounds like every Kompakt record should doesn't it?

I imagine I'd pay good money for a Double Disc Superpitcher remix comp.
And I must note that I think his/T. Thomas' remix of Mango is indeed better than the already really good Koze remix.
Anyways,
Copies of Kilimanjaro were unusually cheap at a local record store, so I picked one up. Enjoyed it a good deal, especially Country Boy, Joanna, and Friday Night (which is just so wonderfully glorious). Regarding the vocals: I think with Superpitcher you kind of have to take the whole package, the whole persona, I guess, that's behind his music (well, his own productions), which indeed does have a lot of personality. I don't know, but looking in the cd case (e.g. at the portraits of him) I get a kind of debonair playboy vibe from him which I find kind of charming. I think this album is at heart an artist-album, and it just wouldn't be the same if it wasn't his voice, even if it, and the lyrics, can sound (wonderfully) cheesy ("sugar girl don't give me pain, don't leave me standing in the rain" got a big smile from me). Though there are some weaker tracks on it, who can deny a good Superpitcher fix, no?

I almost struggled over to you somewhere in the last half hour to note that he had now dropped a marble into the washing machine. "tonk! ....tonk! ....tonk!...."

no longer have the old Superpitcher one.. currently downloading these. The Michael Mayer mix from a couple of months ago was really good. Kilimanjaro up there as one my albums of the year.

we all know it....but the "wub-whiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii" noise in this after the "verse". and the way he teases into it. so so amazing. unique producer.

should also add...the bit where the bassline comes back in in "heroin" channels a highly concentrated form of an emotion i seek in almost all music i like, ever. < /drunkpost>

Do Kompakt still release comps akin to Superpitcher's "Today"?
― djh, Sunday, 3 May 2015 20:23 (nine years ago) link
not very often ... but occasionally, they do

there's a conversation to be had about the decline of the dance mix CD in the age of the internet, but it's an old conversation and we've had it before so i'm not going to start it again
Yeah, it's not the time for that conversation ... It was more: I was enjoying 'Today' and was wondering if there was a handy contemporary equivalent.
― djh, Sunday, 3 May 2015 21:56 (nine years ago) link
I don't like calling dance tracks essential, but Superpitcher's take on Along the Wire is super duper essential

Listening to the available fragments of #4 on the Kompakt website. Synths on "Blood Berry" sound like Tom Tom Club/Talking Heads ca. Speaking in Tongues.

the whole project is starting to feel a bit overwhelming - but in a good way.
I can't keep track of which is which now but I love the recent one that is mostly just rippling harp.
