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

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 19 May 2005 15:33 (twenty-one years ago)

i guess i could order it online.

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 19 May 2005 15:34 (twenty-one years ago)

Do you need it right now? I've got in my shares and can get to the ILX DC room after work (like 5:30pm central).

― adam (adam), Thursday, 19 May 2005 15:45 (twenty-one years ago)

Nah, I can't get on DC right now, either. But nor will I be around much tonight. Thanks, though, Adam. Maybe I'll try to find you in there some other time.

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 (twenty-one years ago)

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 (twenty-one years ago)

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 (twenty-one years ago)

i just tried tower. but no such luck.

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 19 May 2005 16:43 (twenty-one years ago)

i don't know gramophone, tho?

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 19 May 2005 16:43 (twenty-one years ago)

clikk!

― tricky (disco stu), Thursday, 19 May 2005 17:21 (twenty-one years ago)

This is a great mix.

Thanks Winslow.

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

― Michael F Gill (Michael F Gill), Thursday, 19 May 2005 22:03 (twenty-one years ago)

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 (twenty-one years ago)

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 (twenty-one years ago)

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 (twenty-one years ago)

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 (twenty-one years ago)

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

― jed_ (jed), Sunday, 29 May 2005 01:20 (twenty-one years ago)

you downloaded a dud

― Jena (JenaP), Sunday, 29 May 2005 07:08 (twenty-one years ago)

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

― Ronan (Ronan), Sunday, 29 May 2005 08:50 (twenty-one years ago)

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 (twenty years ago)

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 (twenty years ago)

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 (twenty years ago)

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 (twenty years ago)

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 (twenty years ago)

I love that track!

anyone got the Tocotronic remix yet?

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

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 (twenty years ago)

today is wonderful, i adore it.

ronan: ysi coming up.

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

tocotronic remixes a+b:

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

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

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

thanks mark p!

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

yeah thanks alot mark!

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

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

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

someone someone, are the tocotronic rmxs good?!

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

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

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

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 (twenty years ago)

I am entering the bees' nest!

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

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

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

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

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

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 (twenty years ago)

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 (twenty years ago)

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 (twenty years ago)

I'm up for Summerdance too.

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

would give my left arm to see aksel play some records

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

It is great. Really great.

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

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 (twenty years ago)
