Justus definitely cancelled in Toronto.

― jackl (jackl), Tuesday, 14 March 2006 16:14 (twenty years ago)

Thanks for the Dettinger/Dettman info!

I know it's not on Kompakt, but has anyone heard the new Markus Guentner album?

― T. Weiss (Timmy), Sunday, 19 March 2006 01:49 (twenty years ago)

it's on ware, which is distributed by kompakt, so i think it counts. i heard it. i think it's nice. i can't get very worked up about markus guentner. his music is very nice. perfect for spas and yoga studios, and i don't mean that in a bad way. in fact, the last time i set foot in a spa, they were playing markus guentner!

― geeta (geeta), Sunday, 19 March 2006 02:02 (twenty years ago)

i bought the Markus Geuntner as a present from Germany for my g/f. She seems very happy with it (and I hope she is not just being polite...)

a quick question not necessarily in line with the recent posts here (it has driven me crazy today):

what song from some time ago references "true to life" by roxy music?

perhaps a kompakt production?

does anyone know instantly?

― gert hall, Monday, 20 March 2006 05:09 (twenty years ago)

are you sure you're thinking 'true to life'? i can think of two that use roxy music, neither on kompakt but related. one is a michaela melian cover of 'a song for europe' and the other is a whirlpool productions tune (i think it's called 'crazy music') that samples 'editions of you.'

― geeta (geeta), Monday, 20 March 2006 21:28 (twenty years ago)

there's also the Carsten Jost & Katze's "In Every Dreamhome a Heardache" (sic).

― jed_ (jed), Monday, 20 March 2006 23:08 (twenty years ago)

Hi everyone,
Thank you for the quick responses. Its amazing that so many people have their eyes on this space.
The song i was thinking of is the title track of the 1995 album by Love Inc., "Life's a Gas".
Not quite a Kompakt production but then again very much one. I was always in awe of Force Inc. in their day. How about a Wolfgang Voight retrospective?

― gert hall, Tuesday, 21 March 2006 05:00 (twenty years ago)

Re: Life's a Gas

it is not roxy music alone ,either. a very nice combination that continues to hold true today.

― gert hall, Tuesday, 21 March 2006 05:14 (twenty years ago)

this thread has slowed down quite a lot. has kompakt?

― ambrose (ambrose), Tuesday, 21 March 2006 10:03 (twenty years ago)

jed does that cover actually exist?

― Ronan (Ronan), Tuesday, 21 March 2006 10:13 (twenty years ago)

ha!

― banana squad (dayvidday), Friday, 31 March 2006 15:45 (twenty years ago)

must have been a different gas

― Yawn (Wintermute), Friday, 31 March 2006 15:47 (twenty years ago)

but just to make sure: ysi? ;)

― Yawn (Wintermute), Friday, 31 March 2006 15:48 (twenty years ago)

Ronan, it exists! i'll sort you out a YSI later tonight if yr about.

― jed_ (jed), Friday, 31 March 2006 17:03 (twenty years ago)

Anyone heard about this ?????

DJ Koze – Raw (Matthew Dear Remix) (Kompakt)

― nocure, Friday, 7 April 2006 14:46 (twenty years ago)

― ambrose (ambrose), Friday, 7 April 2006 15:10 (twenty years ago)

There's a DJ Remixes EP out soon on Kompakt.

01 - My Grandmother (Jan Jelinek remix)
02 - Bobby (Koze's Bonus Mix)
03 - Raw (Audion Remix)

― Good Dog (Good Dog), Friday, 7 April 2006 15:16 (twenty years ago)

DJ Koze even

― Good Dog (Good Dog), Friday, 7 April 2006 15:17 (twenty years ago)

cool

― nocure, Friday, 7 April 2006 15:21 (twenty years ago)

DJ Koze has to be the biggest secret weapon in all of Techno. Dude is a honest-to-god genius. GENIUS

on it's way in the mail! anyone heard it yet?

heard good things about the Klimek album as well...

― willem -- (willem), Tuesday, 18 April 2006 11:11 (twenty years ago)

mm...

that should've been a picture of Speicher 35:
A - Superpitcher "Enzian"
B - Stardiver "Borderline"

― willem -- (willem), Tuesday, 18 April 2006 11:14 (twenty years ago)

how's the new superpitcher track? is it good?

― geeta (geeta), Tuesday, 18 April 2006 13:50 (twenty years ago)

i haven't heard that new superpitcher, but the new westbam & superpitcher track 'it's not easy' is ace - v bouncy!

also i am completely loving 'domino' by oxia. which i think was off speicher 34.

― The Lex (The Lex), Tuesday, 18 April 2006 13:59 (twenty years ago)

i'm not into the superpitcher but then again i'm not a huge fan. it's an arpeggiated 303 bass and spooky glockenspiels. a bit of sulky one.

oxio - domino is a very, er, faithful homage to Chardronnet's Eve by Day!

― Good Dog (Good Dog), Tuesday, 18 April 2006 14:16 (twenty years ago)

I hear the Superpitcher isn't great, from alot of people. But I am waiting to hear it still.

― Ronan (Ronan), Tuesday, 18 April 2006 16:13 (twenty years ago)

the least liked Superpitcher's are the ones i tend to like most.

― jed_ (jed), Tuesday, 18 April 2006 16:58 (twenty years ago)

like which?

I like pretty much all of them.

― Ronan (Ronan), Tuesday, 18 April 2006 18:20 (twenty years ago)

anyone seen that Kompakt is doing a showcase at the Detroit Electronic Music Festival (or whatever they're going to call it this year) at the end if May? Superpitcher, Klimek & Markus Guentner are already scheduled but i'm hoping we get Koze or Mayer too!

― something less threatening (heywood), Tuesday, 18 April 2006 18:23 (twenty years ago)

Anybody know when the Kompakt MP3 store will have it? How soon after album release do they put stuff up? Is it only once a week?

― matt2 (matt2), Tuesday, 18 April 2006 18:44 (twenty years ago)

yeah that makes no sense, i guess most of his tracks are well loved. what i should have said, rather, was that few people went particularly crazy over the very low key and moody Total 6 track but it's one of my favourites so if this is in the same vein then i'm anticipating hotly. other than "fever" i don't think i've heard a Superpitcher track i've not liked.

― jed_ (jed), Tuesday, 18 April 2006 18:57 (twenty years ago)

The Superpitcher track is good but not exceptional in any way really. Tight and functional, some nice hisses and time-fuck echoes on the drums but otherwise very much about a thick rubbery acid line run right down the middle. Kind of like what Michael Mayer has been doing lately, but more static. (Guessing, of course, it could be quite something else altogether on a good club system.)

― Andy, Tuesday, 18 April 2006 19:18 (twenty years ago)

I'm loving that Axel Bartsch 12"! Aceness!

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Wednesday, 19 April 2006 05:48 (twenty years ago)

The new Superpitcher cut is liked an amped-up acid sequel to "Mushroom," which is fine by me.

― Michael F Gill (Michael F Gill), Saturday, 22 April 2006 21:34 (twenty years ago)

Why on earth haven't we seen a tracklist for Immer 2 yet? Obv it was recorded months and months and months ago.

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Saturday, 22 April 2006 22:46 (twenty years ago)

I wonder if he was unhappy with it and re-recorded it numerous times? I think it was originally planned for last October or something!

― Michael F Gill (Michael F Gill), Sunday, 23 April 2006 00:06 (twenty years ago)

Hi, We do know that one track is code e - "analysis and evaluation"! At least that's what it says on the mule electronic website...Do we know any other tracks?

― dchc, Sunday, 23 April 2006 04:29 (twenty years ago)

Last I heard there were some licensing issues with Immer 2

― Chewshabadoo (Chewshabadoo), Sunday, 23 April 2006 12:57 (twenty years ago)

kompakt is definitely not slowing down! jeez, let's talk about K2 - the herve ak 12" is wicked! and knock-kneed by steadycam - that's some smoothness right there, kind of gives me a SCSI-9 type feel, real clean, my girl really likes that one when i play it, starts doing james bond intro type moves around my apartment. ;)

also, kind of related since most of his stuff is under the kompakt distro umbrella - BUTANE. man, all of this guys music is sick! i thought his releases on dumbunit and rrygular were ace, but the new one on num is his best yet (tinker toy/your bassline needs some work)

― jason m (jason m), Sunday, 23 April 2006 14:46 (twenty years ago)

on the aforementioned herve ak 12" 'part time' - b2 'my favorite smile' - reminds me a bit of jonas bering's recent track 'melanie', it's a very emotive sounding track. perfect for playing when everyone is tired and laying around after a hot summer day.

― jason m (jason m), Sunday, 23 April 2006 14:57 (twenty years ago)

Kompakt Koeln 1- has it held up? Is it worth dropping ten bucks on, as I have the opportunity to do?

And is there any new, um, news on the SCSI-9 album (last I heard to be called The Line of Nine)?

― Telephonething (Telephonething), Tuesday, 25 April 2006 01:05 (twenty years ago)

I don't listen to Kompakt Koln 1 much at all, it sounds very stiff and clanking and furrow-browed compared to most of the label's actual output, but the Dettinger collab-o on it is great.

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Tuesday, 25 April 2006 01:20 (twenty years ago)

Last I heard there were some licensing issues with Immer 2

but...but...it should be an honour to appear on Immer?!?

― Omar (Omar), Tuesday, 25 April 2006 06:37 (twenty years ago)

Kompakt Koeln 1- has it held up? Is it worth dropping ten bucks on, as I have the opportunity to do?

yes! i just got this, and i love it....esp the herbert double up on "going round"...pity that tune appears to cost £15-20 now :(

― ambrose (ambrose), Tuesday, 25 April 2006 07:46 (twenty years ago)

Immer 2 should be out in June now though.

― Chewshabadoo (Chewshabadoo), Tuesday, 25 April 2006 07:52 (twenty years ago)

From p-fork singles review today:

"Now Rex the Dog, one of Kompakt's prize minimalistas..."

-Can someone tell me how Rex the Dog's productions can be construed as being minimalist in even the most vague sense of the word? None of his productions would seem to warrant the tag, much less his bigger known singles and remixes (eg. Frequency, prototype, etc.) Has it come to the point where if you make techno and you're from Germany that it *must* be "minimal"?
