Kompakt: Search und Destroy - Teil Drei

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

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

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

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

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

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

I like pretty much all of them.

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)

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

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

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 :(

"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"?

Ambrose I think you're thinking of the first Michael Mayer mix, which is great yeah. Koeln Kompakt 1 was just a comp of standalone tracks from vaguely related labels (e.g Profan) before Kompakt had released anything.

The Mayer mix was actually much more of a blueprint of what the Kompakt sound would turn out to be.

this
as opposed to
this

i suppose

clueless as ever...

i reckon "other exercises" and "isoplace" are big tunes

the stephan g tune sounds like poker flat stuff!

byron c, stephen g... who the hell are these people!

yeh fackeln im sturm is heavy too

KOM137 THE FIELD - SUN + ICE

FAR FROM ANY SHORT-TERM TRENDS, THE FIELD TELLS US THE STORY OF POP LOOPS. MOST STUNNING CRACKLING SOUNDS EMBEDDED IN SOUND PLANES AND SUPPORTED BY BASS DRUMS.

01 OVER THE ICE
02 ISTEDGADE
03 A PAW IN MY FACE
04 SUN & ICE

I loved their first one. I had kinda hoped this would be two side-long tracks as well, but I'm still very interested.

Also, I love the Superpitcher track on Speicher35 (Enzian): slow, gorgeously, seductively slow, climbing, (only just) lifting off - it's his V-2 Schneider :-)
The Stardiver track's great too, and even slower. Oscillating.

I just got the Kaito album, and after two albums, it is indeed quite air and innocuous (but I'm sure it's supposed to be). I just can't tell if it's consistently good or just consistent. It's easy to ignore, but it's also quite beautiful. What are others thinking about it?

A Michael Mayer set from last week in Barcelona - "Touch" into Alan Parsons "Where do we go from here"! http://www.play.fm/playfm_artists.php?p_id=2383

Gui Boratto is my new favourite producer. "U-Bahn" off his Audiomatique release is absolutely amazing.

Also credit where it's due, I don't normally like John Dahlback but his latest Hug 12 on K2 is ace, the title track is a bit evocative of the music in "Taxi Driver", plus there's a great Smagghe style track on the flip.

Also Ronan you have to hear Geiger's "Night" immediately. It's amazing.

'The Platform' is a good 'un. Dahlback can pull them out of the bag sometimes, 'Snabeln', 'Glass Houses', 'Pop it Bad'...
