doesn't everything eventually get turned into a Total comp or whatever?

i'm too old to start buying new 12 inches. i'd never listen to them. or i'd listen to them once.

CD comps kinda perfect for my active lifestyle.
― scott seward, Monday, 13 June 2016 20:19 (eight years ago) link
i'd say half or less ends up on Total comps (which contain mucho exclusive tracks.. so yeah might as well stick with CDs)
at least buy this, you need the superpitcher remix

i have listened to kompakt on spotify on PS4 before while playing my beloved Resogun. but i can't take too much Spotify sound. makes me cagey.

i am currently the 20th greatest Resogun:Demolition player in the world by the way.

Made myself a couple of "German" CDs for a holiday - To Rococco Rot, Tarwater, Mouse on Mars, a few tracks from the Dial label and lot of Kompakt. Had forgotten how much joy mid-noughties Kompakt brought me. Must have a catch-up ...

autumn + kompakt = perfection.
i really enjoyed the hunter_game album.
the weval one though didn't really do much for me.

There's a Michael Mayer collaboration album coming out on XL shortly
― Michael F Gill, Saturday, 17 September 2016 20:37 (seven years ago) link
Yeah, had seen an email from !K7 about that. Features collaborations on every track including Roman Flugel, Prins Thomas, Barnt and one each from Hot Chip and Friendly Fires.
Will probably (re)start with Total 16 and see where that sends me.
Mind you, I'm also tempted to make a home made edition of that RSD Superpitcher compilation, too.
― djh, Saturday, 17 September 2016 21:05 (seven years ago) link
The Mayer album is very mixed; each track stands up or falls over based on who the collaborator is.

Has anyone heard TOTAL 16 yet? It's on Spotify I was listening to it yesterday and there wasn't anything that really caught my attention but there wasn't anything that I found annoying. It sounded pretty good and cohesive to my ears... will need to give it more listens to see what sticks but at first listen it might be one of their better years.

Loving Clarian's Ankh EP. The title track feels more trance than the music suggests with the Logan's Run sample. Like a cross between Balearic Incarnation and My Name is Barbarella..

sitting somewhere close to acts like Ween and Junior Boys
does not sound promising
― brimstead, Thursday, 22 March 2018 21:09 (six years ago) link
exactly.also, 12 tracks in 36 mins.i.e. a lot of throwaway crap.

thankfully I did not read the RA review of the new Gui Boratto album before I heard it.I ordered it to make an amazon order over the requirements for free delivery.turns out that the album is crap according to RA.I beg to differ.yeah, it's not cool, nor cutting edge.it is however, a very enjoyable electronica album.in fact, I have decided to listen to this as a synthwave album. there are a lot of sonic crossovers in the use of sounds and vocals, which is probably why I am enjoying it so much.
― mark e, Thursday, 16 August 2018 20:28 (five years ago) link
It's perfectly fine. Just like the John Tejada album which RA gave an average review to.

how dare KOMPAKT release an album that sounds like a KOMPAKT album.
( I still have no idea why MS Edge caps lock the word KOMPAKT)

Visited the Koln record store/headquarters in May. I might have been the youngest person in the store and I'm nearly 40.
