The third/remix disc is missing this stuff:
Commercial Breakup – Walking Back Home (Fur Dich Mix)Phantom Ghost – Nothing Is Written (Accidentally Overdosed Remix by Tobias Thomas and Superpitcher)Vermitteldne Elemente – Bruchstuecke B8 (Supermayer Mix)
Is there anything else?

If it were only true!
Why can't these germans do their marketing properly and release this so we can support them.
Maybe Warp will expand bleep.com to include other electronic releases, now that would be cool.

The comp's now up on Slsk, in three separate folders. Username = title of third track on The Flowers of Romance. If you're not on my user list, message me. I might be away, but I'll eventually add you.

Is it trip-hoppish? The version I have has a guy speaking/singing in French and he sounds a lot like Brian Molko? I downloaded it a while back so maybe it's

Not at all. It's one of his more aggressive tracks, closer to Irre -- bowel-rumbling bass line if played at the right volume.
"Baby's On Fire" is just shitty.
Never been big on this, either. There's a small handful of his tracks -- this one included -- that I either can't stand or just mildly enjoy, depending on the circumstances.

I think it would have been better to have a few instrumentals or guest vocalists - the vocals don't get irritating but they do institute a fundamental sameness that undercuts the range of variation actually present on the record.

This is my problem with it, on the nose. I don't even mind the two tracks everyone else dislikes. Its just all v. samey.

The WB's (w/ Superpitcher) "Baby's on Fire" a kinda mash up thing, probably better than the original (the original superpitcher version that is). Has bits of the Velvets "waiting for the man" in it.

Already mentioned several times throughout thread but these are among his best:
Charlotte Gainsbourg - The Operation (Superpitcher remix)Dntel - Evan and Chan (Superpitcher kompakt remix)Quarks - I Walk (Superpitcher schaffel mix)MFA - The Difference It Makes (Superpitcher remix)M83 - Don't Save Us From The Flames (Superpitcher Remix)
― Moka, Tuesday, 19 October 2010 03:12 (thirteen years ago) link
Not mentioned here for whatever reason but really good:
Lawrence, "Along the Wire (Superpitcher remix)"Sasch Funke, "Mango (Tobias Thomas & Superpitcher's como mango version)"
― with hidden noise, Tuesday, 19 October 2010 04:08 (thirteen years ago) link
Mango remix is good but falls short in comparison to Dj Koze's.
― Moka, Tuesday, 19 October 2010 04:18 (thirteen years ago) link
These are the other essential ones IMO:
Hell - "Je Regrette Everything" (Superpitcher Remix)Ghost Cauldron – See What I’ve Become (Superpitcher Smallville Mix)Carsten Jost – Krokus (Superpitcher Remix)Phantom Ghost – Perfect Lovers (Unperfect Love Mix)
― Tim F, Tuesday, 19 October 2010 05:03 (thirteen years ago) link
The moment the bass comes in on that Hell remix: insane. The manager of the place I held a party once ran towards my DJ friend to demand the master volume to be lowered. lolz
― willem, Tuesday, 19 October 2010 07:39 (thirteen years ago) link
another essential remix:Tocotronic - "Hi Freaks" (Superpitcher's Beautiful Freak Remix)

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.
― I see what this is (Local Garda), Tuesday, 19 October 2010 11:12 (thirteen years ago) link
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.
― jabba hands, Tuesday, 19 October 2010 11:37 (thirteen years ago) link

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?
― Darren Huckerby (Dwight Yorke), Sunday, 24 October 2010 00:59 (thirteen years ago) link
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!...."

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.
