buy it? where? you're in chicago, right? i have no idea where to find stuff like superpitcher mixes around here.

Hard Boiled Records on Roscoe near Damen carries pretty much all the Kompakt stuff- the owner (mark) can order it for you, if neede. prices are decent, too.

ha, I need to proofread my posts, too!

― scott pl. (scott pl.), Thursday, 19 May 2005 15:51 (eighteen years ago) link

oh, i like hard boiled. mark is nice. i guess i haven't looked for kompakt stuff there, though.

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 19 May 2005 15:56 (eighteen years ago) link

i would try gramaphone, reckless, virgin, and tower in that order....and phone first of course. i don't know hard boiled....

― tricky (disco stu), Thursday, 19 May 2005 16:35 (eighteen years ago) link

i just tried tower. but no such luck.

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 19 May 2005 16:43 (eighteen years ago) link

i don't know gramophone, tho?

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 19 May 2005 16:43 (eighteen years ago) link

clikk!

― tricky (disco stu), Thursday, 19 May 2005 17:21 (eighteen years ago) link

This is a great mix.

Thanks Winslow.

If you are in New England, Newbury Comics has "Today" for $9.99

It is a good mix, but for "this kind of thing", more people need to talk about James Holden's "Balance" mix.

― mope, Thursday, 19 May 2005 22:06 (eighteen years ago) link

Balance is 2 years old already, not to mention being more on the prog-house tip. An updated 2005 Holden mix would be pretty sweet, although I doubt he'd be as gloomy as 'Pitcher.

"'Happiness', the most splendid track of the currently released Superpitcher album Here Comes Love, indispensable to get remixed was. To increase or reinterpret the dramatic beauty of the original, a difficult job was. Difficult but also tempting. To ask Michael Mayer twice it was not necessary to and Lawrence quasi finished was before in demand he was.Two excellent affirmations to the hope, that a remix can be much more than just recycling, the result is. Rebundels the energy of the original and couples 'Happiness' with a lot of craziness, the mix by Mayer does. Without losing the primal warmth, your feelings he drives by roller coaster and in the middle of your heart and soul hits you. A modern noble rave-tune it got. With a big smile on your face please wack out to it you must. Hamburgs´ expert for poetic techno called Lawrence is. His albums on his own label Dial a class of its own are and certainly to the most emotional moments of the newer club-history belong. For Superpitchers' 'Happiness' he invested a lot of heart´s blood hear you can. As if angels would sing sounds his mix, so wonderfully in reverie lost it is. To put yourself inside this track you would like. If do not feel anything there you feel, as cold as a Siberian lamp pole you are. From Petra Hollenbachs´ amazing 'Happiness' videoclip the cover artwork is." Because of one thing this record exists: "... happiness to cause you."

One joke spreaded too thin that was.

― Michael F Gill (Michael F Gill), Friday, 20 May 2005 03:26 (eighteen years ago) link

just picked it up, er, today. it's great. this is only my second micro-house record (after Immer), though, so i'm not really an expert.

― poortheatre (poortheatre), Friday, 20 May 2005 20:47 (eighteen years ago) link

One of my best friends just moved in right around the corner from hard boil'd. Its the place to be.

― deej., Friday, 20 May 2005 20:51 (eighteen years ago) link

either "Today" is really badly mixed or i downloaded a dud.

― jed_ (jed), Sunday, 29 May 2005 01:20 (eighteen years ago) link

you downloaded a dud

― Jena (JenaP), Sunday, 29 May 2005 07:08 (eighteen years ago) link

joakim, jacques, formerly ewan pearson perhaps soon him again.

― Ronan (Ronan), Sunday, 29 May 2005 08:50 (eighteen years ago) link

one month passes...

anyone else have a complete change of heart about today? well most people seemed to really like it, but i didn't and now i can say that it's one of my favorite things released this year. i have been listening to it nonstop. well at least once a day.

― tricky (disco stu), Thursday, 7 July 2005 04:31 (eighteen years ago) link

I just listened to it again today too Tricky! It is v. good. Still hanging out for a remix collection though.

What was Ronan's post about?

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Thursday, 7 July 2005 08:54 (eighteen years ago) link

I have no idea. was it remixer du jour or something???

still have no idea why I posted it though!

― Ronan (Ronan), Thursday, 7 July 2005 11:00 (eighteen years ago) link

a remix collection would be nice, i agree. we should put one together here. andy k's disc 3 above is definitely a good starting point.

― tricky (disco stu), Thursday, 7 July 2005 16:03 (eighteen years ago) link

I think Today is great, except the last track (though that may just be me, I hate the beat, I hate that he stuck it on at the very end, I don't like the singing. ugh!!)

― Dominique (dleone), Thursday, 7 July 2005 16:34 (eighteen years ago) link

I love that track!

anyone got the Tocotronic remix yet?

― Ronan (Ronan), Thursday, 7 July 2005 17:31 (eighteen years ago) link

I've been listening to Today while I've been falling asleep lately.

Re the last track: I don't hate it, but it doesn't seem to fit with the rest of the mix.

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 7 July 2005 17:34 (eighteen years ago) link

today is wonderful, i adore it.

ronan: ysi coming up.

― mark p (Mark P), Thursday, 7 July 2005 17:35 (eighteen years ago) link

― mark p (Mark P), Thursday, 7 July 2005 17:40 (eighteen years ago) link

i love the last track, too! it's a perfect ending.

― tricky (disco stu), Thursday, 7 July 2005 18:03 (eighteen years ago) link

thanks mark p!

― willem (willem), Thursday, 7 July 2005 18:33 (eighteen years ago) link

yeah thanks alot mark!

― Ronan (Ronan), Thursday, 7 July 2005 18:39 (eighteen years ago) link

I love the second wignohmy bros. track on "today" and "le ritournelle" is great too.

― c/n (Cozen), Thursday, 7 July 2005 18:40 (eighteen years ago) link

someone someone, are the tocotronic rmxs good?!

― c/n (Cozen), Thursday, 7 July 2005 18:47 (eighteen years ago) link

i wrote about them on pfork today. i like them well enough.

― mark p (Mark P), Thursday, 7 July 2005 18:55 (eighteen years ago) link

after one listen: yeah. rmx b is clearly superpitcher: in his mfa & m83 rmx vein. rmx a is a bit harder to get into but it has grower potential (sorry, horrible term). while rmx b isolates (and expands on) certain components of the original song, rmx a seems to use all of them, including the vocals (maybe more wasserman's style? i'm not familiar with his remixes...)

x-post: *heads over to p'fork*

― willem (willem), Thursday, 7 July 2005 19:00 (eighteen years ago) link

I am entering the bees' nest!

― c/n (Cozen), Thursday, 7 July 2005 19:01 (eighteen years ago) link

my god, how much do i *LOVE* the Psychonauts track on this mix.

― jed_ (jed), Thursday, 7 July 2005 19:04 (eighteen years ago) link

well, you said it better mark ("I pray to Mayer.." lol). but i think we agree :-)

― willem (willem), Thursday, 7 July 2005 19:04 (eighteen years ago) link

c/n: i always thought it was "the whole world just got smaller", which seemed to me to be about some kind of epiphanic experience, neither upper nor downer, possibly intimate in nature

― jermaine (jnoble), Thursday, 7 July 2005 19:09 (eighteen years ago) link

Anyone going to the chicago show tomorrow? I'm curious if I should will-call tickets or not...

― temeraire (r h), Thursday, 21 July 2005 16:01 (eighteen years ago) link

I might go. I just realized a friend's band is playing earlier in the evening, so it will prob. depend on how much I feel like staying out after that. If I don't go, I'll def. go to Summerdance next week.

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 21 July 2005 16:14 (eighteen years ago) link

I'm up for Summerdance too.

― n/a (Nick A.), Thursday, 21 July 2005 16:17 (eighteen years ago) link

would give my left arm to see aksel play some records

― Ronan (Ronan), Thursday, 21 July 2005 16:18 (eighteen years ago) link

It is great. Really great.

― Adam In Real Life (nordicskilla), Thursday, 21 July 2005 16:18 (eighteen years ago) link

He was way better than Mayer, for my money. And Ada played too, I think she is on this mini-tour with him. No West Coast dates.

― Adam In Real Life (nordicskilla), Thursday, 21 July 2005 16:19 (eighteen years ago) link

I might go to SummerDance as well, but it seems like a hassle getting over there after work and I think smartbar will be a better venue to see him. I'm looking forward to Ada as well, I really liked Blondie.

If any of you are going to be there tomorrow night and want to have a drink, look for a tallish brunette girl w/ a grey tank-top - that'll be me.

― temeraire (r h), Thursday, 21 July 2005 16:40 (eighteen years ago) link

I'll def. be at summerdance. Its free and the crowd is usually more fun than at [insert club here]

― deej.., Thursday, 21 July 2005 16:44 (eighteen years ago) link

Club Paradise

― Adam In Real Life (nordicskilla), Thursday, 21 July 2005 16:44 (eighteen years ago) link

if i could have, i would have stayed in chicago an extra week just to go to this.
