'irre' was perhaps the biggest club track of 2002 round my way.

i put a post on my blog about kompakt and pop over the weekend, it's not that intricately thought out but it works...

"it's not that intricately thought out but it works..."

it = Kompakt or your blog?

"i put a post on my blog about kompakt and pop over the weekend, it's not that intricately thought out but it works"

hey that is a great post! It makes the point that I was trying to above, the pop is what keeps you coming back.

― hector (hector), Thursday, 20 November 2003 19:09 (twenty-two years ago)

now I am finding myself slipping into pop and grooving when I hear kylie

Coversely, and quite wonderfully, my wife, who is an avowed Kylie fan, and who rarely listens to any kind of music, especially dancefloor/electronic music, thinks this is excellent. Check that universal appeal!

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Sunday, 23 November 2003 16:33 (twenty-two years ago)

I thought your wife was some sorta Punk Planet indie person.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 23 November 2003 19:52 (twenty-two years ago)

Well, whatever made you think that? Cos she's from Chicago?

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Sunday, 23 November 2003 19:57 (twenty-two years ago)

No, because you said something once about her making fun of you because you didn't know what Punk Planet was!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 23 November 2003 19:59 (twenty-two years ago)

I think you have me confused with someone else, Ned. Avril Lavigne, perhaps?

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Sunday, 23 November 2003 20:02 (twenty-two years ago)

I prefer my bias, I like creating a fictional you. DANCE FOR ME, puppet!

haven't heard the mix yet (i mentioned upthread that a record shop in dublin was supposed to have it for a tenner,but then when i went in they didn't have it) but i'm listening to the track bring me closer by richard davis which is appearently on it, (its on the free cd with jockey slut this month,and yes i know everyone hates jockey slut and its the dance nme and all but i quite like it and am a sucker for half decent magazines)and its really really good
the strings are excellent

― robin (robin), Monday, 24 November 2003 17:27 (twenty-two years ago)

the rest of the (jockey slut) cd is awful though
who the fuck are all these people?(john cale aside)
usually theres a few good tracks on their free cds

― robin (robin), Monday, 24 November 2003 17:30 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm listening to it now and I really like it. Also, on the Fabric website it says Mayer's favorite band is Alan Parsons Project. Also, I concur re: Richard Davis and excellent strings

― Sonny A. (Keiko), Monday, 24 November 2003 17:30 (twenty-two years ago)

After getting it on Friday and having the weekend to think of it there are quite a few qreat tunes:

the Heiko Voss is insidious
Villalobos - Easy Lee is just cool
my wife loves the Superpitcher track the best
&
Le Dust Sucker has something to it that just works right where it is in the mix

the whole thing does have kinda of a goth/industrial/pop/house sheen to it which is just kinda like magic

― hector (hector), Monday, 24 November 2003 23:06 (twenty-two years ago)

where's the love for the m83 track

― Ronan (Ronan), Monday, 24 November 2003 23:37 (twenty-two years ago)

c'mon i just got it 2 days ago, i didn't want to gush

― hector (hector), Tuesday, 25 November 2003 00:26 (twenty-two years ago)

The M83 thing is brilliant, do you know anything else about them, Ronan? I downloaded the original and it's not as good :(

― Sonny A. (Keiko), Tuesday, 25 November 2003 01:05 (twenty-two years ago)

yes it is!!

― fiddo centington (dubplatestyle), Tuesday, 25 November 2003 01:49 (twenty-two years ago)

anyway, they're not a dance act.

― fiddo centington (dubplatestyle), Tuesday, 25 November 2003 01:49 (twenty-two years ago)

when i put in "M83 and benoit villeneuve" into google there you were at number 2 Ronan so you must be giving big love to this track.

by the way did you ever live in london?

― hector (hector), Tuesday, 25 November 2003 02:40 (twenty-two years ago)

Having reevaluated, the original is probably "as good".. it just wasn't what I was expecting when I downloaded it, so I didn't give it the attention it needed. I still prefer the version on the mix - i need that bouncy rhythm, I don't have time for build-ups!

― Sonny A. (Keiko), Tuesday, 25 November 2003 02:55 (twenty-two years ago)

I got the CD and it is fucking ace.

But it made me realise how ignorant I am about this kind of music -- I don't even know what to *call* it: it's some sort of house, right? (and yeah yeah names aren't important, but they at least send you to the right section of the record shop). Forgive my ignorance, but where would I go to find more stuff like it?

― alext (alext), Tuesday, 25 November 2003 11:31 (twenty-two years ago)

haha Hector I wrote about it on my blog so maybe! Yeah I lived in London for about 2 months in 2002. I am a frequent visitor also, why do you ask?

― Ronan (Ronan), Tuesday, 25 November 2003 11:44 (twenty-two years ago)

i'm w. sonny on the m83 issue.

― mitch lastnamewithheld (mitchlnw), Tuesday, 25 November 2003 11:56 (twenty-two years ago)

"w. sonny" ??

i've seen a lot a raves for m83 off-ILM. primarily by indie types (i make no judgements in saying that).

― zebedee (zebedee), Tuesday, 25 November 2003 12:57 (twenty-two years ago)

I lived there for a while back in the mid 90s or so and met the only person I have ever known named Ronan. So I was just looking for the degrees of separation. Last time I saw him there was 98 though so it must not be you.

He was also way into dance music.

― hector (hector), Tuesday, 25 November 2003 21:03 (twenty-two years ago)

three weeks pass...

listened to this a few weeks ago to little effect.

tried it again today; track 1 ("i think about you (Geiger Mix)") is crushing me.

― pb, Thursday, 18 December 2003 21:48 (twenty-two years ago)

five months pass...

This is getting a new life on the walkman and might take me through the Spring. Awesome awesome.
I've been trying to mix Bring Me Closer with We Need a Resolutin but somehow it doesn't work that well..

― Baaderoni (Fabfunk), Wednesday, 19 May 2004 11:20 (twenty-two years ago)

well, i still prefer the 1st craig richards cd (fabric 15). I still think 'old school baby' is just ok-ish.

eleven months pass...

I heard this at a HIPSTER COFFEE SHOP yesterday.

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 2 May 2005 17:16 (twenty-one years ago)

I knew that I knew it, but I couldn't place it right away. It sounds better with headphones, I think.

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 2 May 2005 17:18 (twenty-one years ago)

as opposed to reading about it on a hipster message board?

― Matos-Webster Dictionary (M Matos), Monday, 2 May 2005 17:36 (twenty-one years ago)

yes

Right at divsion and damen in chicago, this hipster coffee shop can get your buzz on. Serving some of the strongest brews of regular coffee I've ever had, while being super tasty at that, Jinx brings a level of laid back that is so desperately needed at times. They also serve bagels and sandwiches for those in need of some grubbin. You can catch me there most mornings on my way to work or sometimes in the afternoons when I need my fix. Sometimes they have small shows for bands. Come check it out, mehbe you'll see me there (but you won't know who I am )

i'll know who you are

I dunno man, last time I was there (which was a while back when I lived in the hood), I caught a real "hipper-than-thou" hipster vibe from the place...
The coffee was good. The food was good. But the people seemed kinda snobby. Or maybe I'm just not cool enough.

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 2 May 2005 17:53 (twenty-one years ago)

one year passes...

I have listened to this six times in the last two days. the westbam track - actually that whole first four-five tracks, just fantastic.

is bookending your mix with two versions of the same track sort of cheating a bit?

THIS IS SO GOOD U GUISE

― max, Thursday, 19 July 2007 02:32 (eighteen years ago)

am i the only person who couldn't get into this mix?

apart from the fantastic jackson mix of m83, i find the track selection pretty dull. sorry.

― sam500, Thursday, 19 July 2007 07:02 (eighteen years ago)

you are not forgiven

― deej, Thursday, 19 July 2007 07:12 (eighteen years ago)

probably my favourite mix ever, this

― lex pretend, Thursday, 19 July 2007 08:26 (eighteen years ago)

it really is amazing (sorry vahid)

― Tim F, Thursday, 19 July 2007 10:38 (eighteen years ago)

Still the best Fabric mix by a fucking mile.

― Matt DC, Thursday, 19 July 2007 10:53 (eighteen years ago)

Which track actually has "Isn't it amazing" as a vocal?

I *LOVE* this so much, and thank you ILM 2003 for introducing me to it.

― Jamie T Smith, Thursday, 19 July 2007 11:01 (eighteen years ago)

it is really sweet

― babedad, Friday, 20 July 2007 02:00 (eighteen years ago)

i prefer immer to this i think

― creme1, Friday, 20 July 2007 02:02 (eighteen years ago)

i prefer immer 2 to both of them!

― tricky, Friday, 20 July 2007 02:19 (eighteen years ago)

listened to this yesterday after seeing this thread. i believe i shall do so again now.

― haitch, Friday, 20 July 2007 03:59 (eighteen years ago)

in response to the first thread...

yes. it is good.

― Hamildan, Friday, 20 July 2007 16:22 (eighteen years ago)

Immer 2 deserves more attention (and a second chance or three).

It lacks the immediate first impression of Immer as well as the easier accessibility of Fabric 13, but Immer 2's so shimmerier and slinkier.

― dblcheeksneek, Friday, 20 July 2007 18:04 (eighteen years ago)

immer 2 took a few second chances with me, but it is now my favorite of the three (the other two are still tip top obv.). it is really good late at night on headphones.

Yeah so I'm obsessed with Oldschool, Baby right now. Sure would be cool to be out dancing to it somewhere.
