Kompakt: Search und Destroy - Teil Drei

I have all the Totals (well ok, I don't have #1. Which is why I went a bit nuts when I heard "Beauty and the Beast" sample in "How Great Thou Art". So great) but I still consider it essential for me personally. Plus I believe two/three tracks are previously vinyl only/unreleased?

The missing tracks are on this: http://www.discogs.com/Jürgen-Paape-So-Wird-Die-Zeit-Gemacht/release/2629891

The Rainbow Arabia album is great!

I made the most useless thread ever on them ages ago:

This Rainbow Arabia thing

Lonely, lonely thread.

Can anyone help me out on a track I.D. I have a couple of Kompakt mixes from about 2002/2003 where there is this great track which samples and tweaks the synth backing from this track: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x71c6_pdiddy-usher-i-need-a-girl_music

Any ideas?

was it schaffel-y perhaps? Synth is vaguely similar to Wasserman "Strasser"

Or I could be way way off

Thanks for the reply, but it's got a 4/4 groove.

I've made a clip from the set if anyone wants to hear it

This Robag Wruhme mix is fantastic, it's doing everything I wanted from the last Pantha Du Prince album that I didn't get.

So, no ideas on the I.D. anyone?

Maybe one of the early Traum records? It sounds a little like Philippe Cam.

Thanks, I'll do some hunting!

Kompakt Vocal, a Japanese release from a few months ago, is like a "Kompakt Greatest Hits: The Anthems" release. All stuff any fan of the label's sound would have but a nice little primer otherwise.

John Tejada Parabolas is apparently out today. Loving the set of clips on Kompakt's Soundcloud. Half the album is instant classic, and the other half ain't half bad either.

Still looking to ID the track a few posts above. :D

How long has Tejada been on Kompakt for? Doesn't seem like a natural home for him so either he's significantly altered his sound or they're casting around all over the place now. NB I heart John Tejada and am looking forward to this.

kompakt debut, i think. really liking it, glides so nicely song to song. can't mess with the guy in terms of crystal clear, either, album just sounds perfected.

Okay it's not on Kompakt but it's Kompakty and it's pretty great. No 12" release which is a shame. The youtube has been pitched up which is a shame.

Shame Shame...

Total 12 is out next week, back to a one CD comp. It's got got Gus Gus - Over (Life & Death mix) on it. Nice.

ROBERT SCHUMANN CLARA WIECK from total 11 is sooooooooo sick, heard it loud for the first time this weeekend and it's been stuck in my head. what a groove, mood and wicked punchline

so is total 12 out, who's got it? is it good?

so is total 12 out, who's got it? is it good?

pretty solid on first listen, it's back to a 1-disc version so easy to digest in one sitting. matias aguayo track is the biggest throwaway. otherwise, not any outright duds. couple tracks floored me, i need to listen again & pinpoint them

wth is mtv iggy?

No idea, just saw that link on kompakt's own site.

more of my thoughts on Total 12 (it's a keeper...)......... here

You were there in '01?
Anyway, the compilation went double-cd at edition 6, not 4.
First four songs on 12 are killer imo, and I've also got lots of love for the final four. That Coma 12" (Famous) got lots of playtime at my house during the rainy summer, "Raindrops" (d'oh) (b-side) is fantastic, too. Don't like the Boratto track much (it feels clumsy, somehow) and could do without the Aguayo/Rebolledo but the (projected) thought of them having lots of fun recording it makes it bearable. Synth-hook is catchy.

I really like the Aguayo track, and the Gui Boratto for that matter (I think it's deliberately going for big and clumpy and it's more enjoyable for that).

Nothing on this beats the Kolombo tune though which is pretty much my favourite record of 2011 so far.

didn't like the first two much, this whomadewho sounds like a banger, digging it. superpitcher is nice. hard and soft, mr fingers bassline, sad cowbell, trippy sample/vocal at the end. gui boratto track is ridic, altho a bit of a one trick pony. paape is a disposable piece of granular sample nonsense, pleasant, but empty. modernist, err, sounds like the modernist, is good, i guess. wolfgang voigt is masterful and experimental, in emo mode, rather than goth nosebleed mode. so yeh, pretty solid. shame there's no koze.

checking discogs look for paape on 12 (he's not) i clicked the play button next to superpitcher's track. what?

http://www.kompakt.fm/releases/total_12

well he's on my version

that's the end superpitcher's track...

end of the*

aha, so paape's not on the cd version. just playing my cd again - there's no weird vox at the end of my superpitcher track! didn't know the differences between vinyl and cd versions were thát significant.

vinyl ánd digital versions of "white lightning" are more than two minutes longer than the cd-version. just downloaded it from iTunes - those reciting vox are a very very nice touch!

i had a kompakt related brainfart on saturday, was DJing out and couldnt for the life of me remember a song. Its quite recent, jaunty sort of schaeffelly microtrance with crazy moire pattern like breakdowns that seem to get faster and slower at the same time, ive got it but i couldnt even work it out through discogs. the big 30 on the horizon seems to be marking my decline

Anyway, the compilation went double-cd at edition 6, not 4.

ahh, whoops-- thanks!

crazy moire pattern like breakdowns

<3 that

The new Kölsch 12" on the Speicher series is good stuff. A side is hair-raising stuff. Electro house like the 2000s never went away. The B side is even better. Piano house. Arms akimbo.. hands in the air!

It sounds like a Whigfield sample... in a good way.

This seems like a pretty decent overview of 20 years.

Yes. Glad they included All That Matters. Not sure why Kompakt didn't release it properly. Fantastic record.

Looks like CD3 isn't included. Whilst over on the Kompakt website they are selling Kompakt 20 years merchandise including football scarves.

Would totally wear a Kompakt football scarf.

The compilation is kind of weird in its track selection. There's some amazing rarer tracks I'd never heard before (Plexus's Transient, Leandro Fresco's Cera Uno, and I'd lost my copy of Mayer/Voigt's Transparenza) but there are some glaring omissions as well. Two Matias Aguayo tracks right at the start, but Superpitcher is only represented by one Lawrence remix, which is kind of diddling the guy who's made as many amazing tracks as any of them. Also people like Rex The Dog and John Tejada are included who *really* don't feel part of the whole thing.

Obviously it's still better than 99% of compilations that will be released this year.

CD3
01 JÜRGEN PAAPE - SO WEIT WIE NOCH NIE
02 CLOSER MUSIK - ONE TWO THREE NO GRAVITY

Does this actually exist or is it apocryphal/a complete fantasy?

Matt DC, help focus the tracklist for the vinyl release :)

These seem bizarre omissions from "Vol 1":

01 JÜRGEN PAAPE - SO WEIT WIE NOCH NIE
02 CLOSER MUSIK - ONE TWO THREE NO GRAVITY

Some conversation about this another thread - the one with a Felt title in the subject.

genuinely curious about the results of this:

could be awesome?
