Also why has Superpitcher gone out to pasture?

Immer 2 = the new sequel to Loveless.

LOL
Also, Thomas/Mayer - Sweet Harmony, cover of The Beloved? Should fit right in somehow.
Michael Mayer @ Apolo-Nitsa 13.05.06 is excellent set btw.

Might as well have a go myself: what's the track around 56:00 - 59:00, the one with the filtered-to-fuck drums and the voice going something like "meditation...manifest".
― Omar (Omar), Friday, 23 June 2006 20:24 (seventeen years ago) link
googling suggests Josh Wink's "Meditation Will Manifest"

Ha, from 1994 on R&S, that's why it was triggering buried memories.

I haven't heard all those mixes, or any of them, but maybe Tobi Neumann might be a good place to start Robin, is more minimal technoey than electro.

James Holden @ Loft Lausanne is excellent.I also liked Miss Dinky @ Room 106
Mmm, Sven Vath @ Flex looks pretty good.
Didn't like Villalobos @ Voltt

I dunno, the distinctions b/w the different sublabels seem increasingly academic... how is "Wombat" a "Speicher" track? Or "Arquipelago" a K2 track?

Perhaps they've decided to keep the double-cd format for Total from now on and pad it out with tracks from the sub-labels, rather than compile them all separately.
― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Sunday, 25 June 2006 12:00 (seventeen years ago) link
It makes a lot of sense though. Total 6 was kind of the "been away for a while so here's double" release. Total 7 in the same format would arguably need some padding out drawing from a shorter timespan of releases?
― fandango (fandango), Sunday, 25 June 2006 17:00 (seventeen years ago) link
I like the consolidation format better anyway, it adds a bit more diversity. I don't think the Pop Ambient series will be going away, even though there was a drought of new productions a couple of years ago.

This brand of epic mutilated machinic groove with lots of twinkle-riff high-end action seems to be the creative-center of minimal/electro/whatever-house at the moment. There's this whole cluster of different artists converging on this idea: people like Boratto, Afrilounge/Chardronnet, Jona, Someone Else, and then also so many of the big names (Booka Shade, Eulberg, Ananda). I guess it makes sense b/c it's sort of like the midpoint b/w Kompakt/Traum on the one hand and Get Physical at the other.
I was listening to a Stephan Bodzin mix the other night and was surprised to find myself in complete thrall. I thought the gothy riffy impulses (almost Black Strobe updated for 2006) would be a bit familiar, but it was all so compulsive. Towards the end of the set he played Booka Shade's "Trespass 06" and it sounded absolutely huge in that setting.

I really like his tracks with Marc Romboy "Phobos" and "Ferdinand".

the original isn't anything special, but the Supermayer remix is a TOTAL FUCKING ANTHEM

Both seem like kind of worse versions of Superpitcher remix of the MFA. I guess the original is nice, the first time I heard it I really liked it, but subsequently I just thought it sounded like a less good version of lots of other Superpitcher tracks too.

i'm having which-one-is-which confusion about the field 'under the ice' single - i think the one i absolutely adore is 'istedgade', the massive pop anthemic one with the annoying glitch in it (nb: does anyone know where i might find a copy without the glitch?), but upthyread or elsewhere someone said it was 'sun and ice'.
