It's the Ferenc album I'm not really getting (I mean it's good but never really leaves an impression.)

both doppelleben and are you really lost? are fantastic though. hard to pick between the two.
kompakt is turning into warp. (if it hasn't already)

Especially if you consider the respective mp3 shops & the other labels they take under their wing or help distribute.

This record is one of the few times where no writer-type seems to have quite nailed and described exactly the same thing I'm hearing in anything I've read, or maybe they have but it's all in bits & pieces.
I dunno, the sweatiness and sexiness is there. In how the slow tempo almost seem to reflect a need to move, but not any kind of hyperactive exertion. That would kill you in the heat. I love how organic this all feels, like it's been made out in the desert, with whatever pots & pans shit was close to hand, far away from any kind of regular electronic studio... in fact the whole thing feels spicy & heat-soaked, burning up, dusty... almost tribal, but without the usual 'banging'-ness. I guess the 'not driving too fast' thing in the press release reflects that 'road movie' feel. I mean 'So In Love' just has that vibe of someone totally losing their shit as some crazy unexpected affair is about to end, or leave that insane level of intial unsustainable pleausure. It hasn't quite happened yet, but it's subconsciously approaching.
I like the Closer Musik stuff I've heard too, but it's SO different to this. When that's minimal it's all cold, considered, worried & twitchy, and what warmth there is, is very much that detroitian electronic kind of 'warmth'. It's a completely urban record, albeit still one with hurt feelings.

Also, what kind of house is this exactly? Is it house? Minimal techno? Is it the trendy Ketamine House? Or a new, sleazier K-Y House? Discuss further please- it's still not clear to me....

Plus, I think maybe Chicago House is to Matias Aguayo as Sounding Sexy is to Trying To Sound Sexy.
But that might be a little harsh.

It's a v. good album overall I think. I actually think a lot of it would work best though in a mix - I'd love to start a mix with "Are You Really Lost".

can i derail another thread and say that jess is OTM about closer musik being the best artist lp on kompakt.
― cheshire05, Tuesday, 17 January 2006 06:07 (eighteen years ago) link
(I mean After Love is about as consistent as Touch, and the highs on the latter record (well, "Amabile" at any rate) are even higher!)
Oddly the a-side of the Kontrast record makes it appear that Leyers is moving in a similar direction as Aguayo - slow slow slow and totally trance inducing.

It's essentially acapella house music, isn't it? I like this record best when there are no instruments involved at all, just the sound of voices imitating the clicks and snaps and detuning pling plong noises you'd treat as standard in minimal. It feeds perfectly into my argument upthread about Aguayo totally getting the inherent silliness and ridiculousness of even the most po-faced European techno.

I like this a lot too. One of the most refreshing records I've heard in a while.

I don't really think I've given this a fair shake yet but up to now... hasn't really clicked like I would have expected, am a bit on the fence :/

He does a remix on the new Afro-Colombian comp on Soul Jazz called "Jende Ri Palenge". The whole collection is great, and it's worth much more than a Matias obscurity.
