Pure reason must never winWe badly need new liesTo guide us across the universeAnd to give us the feast of the worldTo drive us into deliriumAnd to sing us to the most quiet slumber To warn us of the boring truth And to pity our deepest pain To rock us in bamboo-baskets Pure reason must never win
Pure reason must never winWe badly need new liesTo show us the precious of madnessAnd then to bow to usTo crown us to kingsOnly to taunt us secretlyTo hiss in our earsAnd to wipe our eyesTo fight them, who want to help usPure reason must never win
Pure reason must never winWe badly need new liesTo preserve our beautyBut to split us deep insideMuch more: To deconstruct usAnd then to touch us tenderlyTo lead us into darknessTo resign to our willAnd to bend us like soft fencesPure reason must never win
We are so light, we could fly...

surely the "hot love" remix with the singing could not be exceeded by anything for camp!!

Why is that, are you talking about sex, too sexy for you? That's What I love about Closer Musik/Matias Aguayo, He's not afraid of returning dance music to bare sexually. Unlike the sometimes sterile Intelligent dance music. Is it sometimes camp, yeah but A lot more fun dancing to.

Discuss.
(A great review [i.e. in style, substance and sustaining interest] -- regardless of the gas, the requisite P'Fork "...Re-Animator lab mistake of Factory-style gothic indie and chugging house" insider reference, and the "Konpakt." First time in a long time I've read a P'Fork review from start to finish. Maybe since the M.A.N.D.Y. review?)

That is so you can easily get closer! A vocoder would've ruined it for me (same goes for the Aguayo album, which is sounding excellent thus far).
CM were like my Beatles or Associates.

i am glad to read about "simplicity of rhythms" on the album. i could listen to that "lovefood" rmx all day.

I want to say the same thing, but Kompakt/Areal realizes that the dancefloor in LA would consist of exactly 12 indie-rocker-but-really-likes-Kompakt guys, and, despite the fact that these guys actually WILL dance, it's too depressing to note that this is because the space will actually be comfortable enough to shake some ass, because there will be plenty of room, because there will be no women nor club-goer types, because LA is a terible city for dancing, because no one wants to mess up their hair or risk looking uncool. So why bother...

Also, that Matias/Alex Turner track "De Papal" sounds a lot like "Risingson" by Massive Atttack!

but yeah, packed is not good. i could imagine it being rammed. do you kompakt could get arena style events in cologne? why not a 1000-2000 capacity kompakt rave?!??!!
pdf - you should buy the superpitcher "today" mix, the herbert "letsallmakemistakes" mix, the daniel bell "return of the button down mind", my best friend "flashback" cd, michael mayer "immer". i think they are all danceable but soothing, or something. the first of those is awesome.
