That would be grand!

― Michael F Gill (Michael F Gill), Saturday, 10 December 2005 06:13 (twenty years ago)

heh. Total 6 packaging is staying together fine (nerd).

That Orb video is funny... it's like Mister Truck Driver ^_^

― frickin' username (fandango), Saturday, 17 December 2005 05:24 (twenty years ago)

Just downloaded the Kontrast 12", and after a cursory listen it's fecking great. Deep, surly spacey disco, a lot more dark and functional and "track"-y than I'd expect from something with Koehncke involved, but all good stuff.

― telephone thing, Saturday, 17 December 2005 05:35 (twenty years ago)

Tracky Disco.

― Michael F Gill (Michael F Gill), Saturday, 17 December 2005 05:37 (twenty years ago)

I wanted to not like The Orb album for some reason but it's actually pretty sweet in it's own little Kompaktish way.

― frickin' username (fandango), Saturday, 17 December 2005 06:05 (twenty years ago)

It's a bit sad, bare and lonely somehow in it's minimalness though, makes me feel old. Is this... micro-goth?

I also wonder if it won't sound completely anonymous and forgettable in like, six months time.

― frickin' username (fandango), Saturday, 17 December 2005 06:11 (twenty years ago)

this is not making me sad anymore, but happy :)

― frickin' username (fandango), Monday, 19 December 2005 02:27 (twenty years ago)

Picking it up on sale for $9.99 at Newbury Comics made me even happier.

― Zimmer026 (Zimmer026), Monday, 19 December 2005 02:41 (twenty years ago)

I want to hear more about Kontrast. Is it really "spacey disco?" If so, I'm gonna need it.

― matt2 (matt2), Monday, 19 December 2005 16:24 (twenty years ago)

The A-side is, sort of. Still very technofied, but could fit in with Lindstrom et al. The B-sides...still not sure what to call them. Tech-house, maybe.

― telephone thing, Monday, 19 December 2005 16:27 (twenty years ago)

what other dirk leyers stuff is there apart from "wellen"? i wish he had released a solo album ratehr than aguayo.

― ambrose (ambrose), Monday, 19 December 2005 17:29 (twenty years ago)

That is not a nice or (imo) correct thing to say ambrose. Aguayo's album was excellent. But I would be just as happy to have a Leyers album as well. And I really do think I'll have to hear the Kontrast now. Thanks for the info Ryan.

― matt2 (matt2), Monday, 19 December 2005 17:58 (twenty years ago)

My god, has anybody heard the most recent speicher (32 methinks)? One of the Dahlback boys has a track called "gas" as the A-Side. Very good track. Full of nice chirps and squelches.

― Trace, Monday, 19 December 2005 18:22 (twenty years ago)

Leyers did one track, talked about here (it used to be downloadable, but not any more), that came out on an early Firm release.

― Andy_K (Andy_K), Monday, 19 December 2005 18:54 (twenty years ago)

You're welcome Matt, though don't take my word on the genre descriptors- I'm terrible with those.

― telephone thing, Monday, 19 December 2005 18:56 (twenty years ago)

ok i listened to the aguayo album again today and it grew on me a bit, but i scarecely see how i can be incorrect in wishing something! maybe it isnt nice, but i think the element of closer musiks, well, music that i enjoy (not necessarily the "good" buit) is provided by leyers rather than aguayo. but i dont know that, thats based on the evidence of "after love", "wellen" and aguayos album

― ambrose (ambrose), Monday, 19 December 2005 21:22 (twenty years ago)

I really, really liked the Aguayo album, it felt like a very untypical and idiosycratic Kompakt record too which was nice. Some Kompakt stuff can seem a bit too tied in to the label sound and homogeonous.

― frickin' username (fandango), Monday, 19 December 2005 21:34 (twenty years ago)

This is straight from the Kompakt-mp3 mailout, but: they're selling mp3s of Justus Koehncke's live set from the Total 6 release party, including a Chic cover!

― telephone thing, Tuesday, 20 December 2005 02:10 (twenty years ago)

oh man i just saw that today and was so tempted but i have spent so much there lately.

― u saved me (dubplatestyle), Tuesday, 20 December 2005 02:15 (twenty years ago)

the photo of justus that comes with the total 6 live set, as sold on kompakt-mp3, is a snapshot i took of him that i originally posted on my blog! :) i'm super happy that he used it.

― geeta (geeta), Tuesday, 20 December 2005 09:40 (twenty years ago)

I got Total 6 last Monday and just wanted to say how much i hate that Reinhard Voigt track. ACHHHHHHH!

― Tokyo Ghost Stories (Tokyo Ghost Stories), Friday, 30 December 2005 01:18 (twenty years ago)

wait til you hear it out. your life will be changed... forever

― Yawn (Wintermute), Friday, 30 December 2005 06:25 (twenty years ago)

(and not in a good way)

― Yawn (Wintermute), Friday, 30 December 2005 06:25 (twenty years ago)

So any word on particularly noteworthy 2006 releases?

― matt2 (matt2), Tuesday, 3 January 2006 16:29 (twenty years ago)

the florent g-net EP came out on K2, i have that on the way in the mail. new jonas bering 12" - "behind this silence"...anyone? also, another immer release came out but haven't heard it yet.

also noticed that FE is selling two kompakt slipmat sets - one with the kompakt logo and another set with the speicher logo. sweet.

― jason m. (jason m), Tuesday, 3 January 2006 17:13 (twenty years ago)

Easy Street in Seattle has the same 2 sets of slipmats...13.99, i think.

― biz, Tuesday, 3 January 2006 21:37 (twenty years ago)

Well whadda ya know, Immer 2 seems to hit the streets as planned on the 16th. :)

(probably followed by the biggest backlash this side of Human After All :(

― Omar (Omar), Wednesday, 4 January 2006 08:29 (twenty years ago)

Well whaddaya know, I had forgotten to check the 1st. Connective Zone = hair-raising classic ! Bravo

― blunt (blunt), Wednesday, 4 January 2006 08:43 (twenty years ago)

Where is the Immer tracklisting!

― Michael F Gill (Michael F Gill), Wednesday, 4 January 2006 16:55 (twenty years ago)

seconded.

― cancer prone fat guy (dubplatestyle), Wednesday, 4 January 2006 16:59 (twenty years ago)

it's in magda's pants (again)

― fandango (fandango), Wednesday, 4 January 2006 17:50 (twenty years ago)

So Andy, what happened? I just noticed on the Kompakt site that there is a cd45 (The Orb) and a cd47 (Pop Ambient 2006) but no cd46 (which should be/have been Immer 2).

(the reason why I got all excited is that most big online cdshops over here have it on pre-order now with an EAN code. Obviously this lack of a tracklisting, which should of course have leaked in 2004 or so, always was a bit suspicious :(

― Omar (Omar), Wednesday, 4 January 2006 21:42 (twenty years ago)

Immer 002 D-SAW / DR. MOTTE and JONAS BERING "BEHIND THIS SILENCE" KOMPAKT 132 already available at Kompakt's mp3 site.

http://www.soulseduction.com/common/item_detail.php?ItemID=158082

― Miles, Thursday, 5 January 2006 09:54 (twenty years ago)

the supermayer losoul thing is just too good

― cozen (Cozen), Thursday, 5 January 2006 10:26 (twenty years ago)

Not to mention the superb Alter Ego remix on the other side with the clangy/steamy noises - I prefer it to the Supermayer one.

― Chewshabadoo (Chewshabadoo), Thursday, 5 January 2006 11:29 (twenty years ago)

A (new) Mikkel Metal album, great!

― willem -- (willem), Thursday, 5 January 2006 11:51 (twenty years ago)

thirded that the brain of glass remix thing is awesome...both sides but i think the alter ego just about shades it

― ambrose (ambrose), Thursday, 5 January 2006 12:07 (twenty years ago)

also, gone on a spree recently:

loving the uber trancey new eulberg on traum, his kids-tv-show-in-koln new one on platzhirsch, and speicher 32 is wicked too? not sure which is the barsch and whioch the dahlback but im really getting back into buying tunes, and i excited! now all i need is somewhere to dance to it outside of my bedroom!

― ambrose (ambrose), Thursday, 5 January 2006 12:11 (twenty years ago)

Promote another night! (just kidding)

― Chewshabadoo (Chewshabadoo), Thursday, 5 January 2006 13:38 (twenty years ago)

Or then again, maybe you should.

― Chewshabadoo (Chewshabadoo), Thursday, 5 January 2006 13:50 (twenty years ago)

promote a night in your bedroom!

― cozen (Cozen), Thursday, 5 January 2006 14:13 (twenty years ago)

anything good coming up in leeds, ambrose?

(sorry, just presuming you're still there. a friend's just moved to leeds so I want to visit.)

― cozen (Cozen), Thursday, 5 January 2006 14:14 (twenty years ago)

funy you should say that, i was thinking this lunchtime about getting a 1000 loan, then booking villalobos and mayer to do a big blow out show at some big club or other here (sheffield), and losing the whole lot and wondering why im such a prat, or exulting in the glorious success of having loads of people loving it and maybe even breaking even.... been listening to that green and blue mix, and thinking....geez, loads of people over there like it (eg crowd noise), so why not here?

as for leeds, i think it blew itself up last bonfire night with rex the dog, tomas anderson, trentemoller and chloe all on the same day (with nathan fake and james holden either side of that weekend)

oops, turns out craig richards and magda are playing technique on feb 4th. its a horrible place, but still. ken ishii and dmx krew (?!) playing night before at superconductor. thats in a good place instead.
might be worth checking basics, asylum and darkside line ups as well, as stuff sort of comes on occasionally.

generally there is a glut of nights, with insane competition between them, i have no idea why.

― ambrose (ambrose), Thursday, 5 January 2006 14:31 (twenty years ago)

Brighton has been fairly quiet lately, and even when decent names have come down, e.g. Craig Richards, they've been half empty. It seems all we want to do is sit in our newly extended licensed pubs and drink ourselves silly rather than going dancing these days.

― Chewshabadoo (Chewshabadoo), Thursday, 5 January 2006 15:20 (twenty years ago)

students aint back innit

― ambrose (ambrose), Thursday, 5 January 2006 17:00 (twenty years ago)

― cozen (Cozen), Thursday, 5 January 2006 18:10 (twenty years ago)
