What is (how can I get a copy of) this track played on Tim Sweeney's beatsinspace back in Oct..

SuperMayer - The Art Of Letting Go - Kompakt.

Has it been released?

― mmmm (myloveispurepower), Wednesday, 24 January 2007 21:32 (nineteen years ago)

ahhhh supermayer!

i don't think it has been released - i talked to michael in november and he said nothing of the supermayer project had been completed and nothing would be out until well into 2007. then he refused to tell us any more, apart from going "supermayer saves the world!"

really feeling the new gui boratto album. really not feeling the hug album.

― lex pretend (lex pretend), Wednesday, 24 January 2007 21:37 (nineteen years ago)

I want a Field full-length. This was listed on Kompakt's forthcoming releases on MySpace a while ago if I remember correctly. Can anyone confirm?

― lou (lou), Wednesday, 24 January 2007 21:39 (nineteen years ago)

can't confirm but also want one.

also want and will def get REX THE DOG full-length this year! DOG DOG DOG DOG DOG DOG DOG DOG

― lex pretend (lex pretend), Wednesday, 24 January 2007 21:43 (nineteen years ago)

Me too, though the Maximize 12" was pretty disappointing.

― lou (lou), Wednesday, 24 January 2007 21:46 (nineteen years ago)

i didn't think so at all! it was the best sort of big stupid banging fun, those awesomely cheesy 90s eurotechno synths and the DOG DOG DOG DOG DOG DOG DOG bit, there needs to be more silliness like that! and 'every day could be your last day' was ace too, like 'i look into mid-air' it shows that rex simply cannot keep away from sounds and melodies which make you grin like a fool even when he's being a bit down.

― lex pretend (lex pretend), Wednesday, 24 January 2007 21:50 (nineteen years ago)

I will have to revisit. I do like "Every Day". And I'm still very much looking forward to the full-length.
One thing I did love by Rex last year was his "Marble House" remix for the Knife.

― lou (lou), Wednesday, 24 January 2007 21:54 (nineteen years ago)

And I'm reeaaallly looking forward to this:

Can anyone confirm?

March 26

!!! Thanks.

"really feeling the new gui boratto album. really not feeling the hug album. "

The first track on the Hug album is awesome but yeah the rest hasn't drawn me back.

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Thursday, 25 January 2007 05:59 (nineteen years ago)

The Field has album coming out in March! Yay

Also, bit of a self-link, but I did an interview with Michael Mayer over at RA: http://www.residentadvisor.net/feature_view.asp?ID=796

― Good Dog (Good Dog), Thursday, 25 January 2007 08:20 (nineteen years ago)

Two of the songs on The Field album are titled "The Deal" and "The Little Heart Beats So Fast". Surely these are yet more Hounds of Love references.

Will report back once I've had a chance to listen to it.

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Friday, 26 January 2007 07:21 (nineteen years ago)

Tim- You've got it?! drool
Looking forward to hearing what you think. Sun & Ice was my absolute favorite 12"/single last year. Are any/all of its tracks included on the full-length?

― lou (lou), Friday, 26 January 2007 15:29 (nineteen years ago)

Yeah, it's got "Over The Ice", "Sun & Ice" and "A Paw In My Face" on it.

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Friday, 26 January 2007 15:33 (nineteen years ago)

Isn't it about time the Rice Twins had an LP? For Penny And Alexis is downright gorgeous. Not cheesy at all.

― wogan lenin (dog latin), Friday, 26 January 2007 16:03 (nineteen years ago)

Agreed. See also: Reach for the Flute 12" on K2. "For Dan" was on Immer 2, but it's "Rome" that's the real treat if you ask me.

― lou (lou), Friday, 26 January 2007 16:07 (nineteen years ago)

The Field album is ace, but I'll come back to that. For now I want to say how much I love:

Partial Arts - Trauermusik
So gorgeous. Funny to think that we all initially thought that Rex the Dog was Ewan Pearson, and now he and Al Usher are releasing on Kompakt. This is very much in the vein of Pearson's recent Resident Advisor mix - filled with gurgling micro sounds but otherwise it's gooily emotional, all shimmering trebly synth wavers and gently percolating basslines. It would sound perfect on the next Total comp in the "For Penny & Alexis" slot, except that in the second half it becomes crashingly/crushingly anthemic, building and building and becoming harder and harder (the beats actually begin to sound like thunder claps). There's not really a precedent for it: the closest thing i can think of is if you crossed their remix of Feist with Joakim's remix of Antena's "Camino Del Sol".

Jurgen Paape - Take This
Well of course it's an unashamed "Part 2" to "Take That" that same blocky kickdrum and booming bass and farty synth hook beating out a martial groove, only this time it sounds a lot more openly, undeniably thuggish and muscular, like Paape wants kids to lose their brains. This from Paape! Who would have thought it! All I know is that when I saw Mayer spin "Take That" live it sounded like the best thing ever and I bet this would too.

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Saturday, 27 January 2007 14:13 (nineteen years ago)

HELP!!! I just got Immer 2 (haven't had a chance to listen to it yet), but I opened and it says I can get my free mp3s on kompakt-mp3.net using the following password...and the password box is totally blank. Anybody else experienced this (I know the rest of you just downloaded the mix, but anyway)? HELP!!! I want by free mp3s. (Yeah I know I need to somehow contact Kompakt or something more useful like that, but I just wanted to share.)

― matt2 (matt2), Monday, 29 January 2007 04:19 (nineteen years ago)

The Field album is ace

v.v jealous.

― stirmonster (stirmonster), Monday, 29 January 2007 06:13 (nineteen years ago)

matt2, i had a similar problem (well, i had half a code) just contact Kompakt ;-)
really, they responded very quickly to my email (maybe 'cause i had half a code. mailing with "i've got a blank password box" might not be as convincing...) and gave me the full code.

and i second stirmonster's emotions. grrr.

― willem -- (willem), Monday, 29 January 2007 21:32 (nineteen years ago)

whats the title of the field album?

― PRKLTR (flezaffe), Monday, 29 January 2007 21:38 (nineteen years ago)

from here we go sublime. and it is.

― acid waffle house (dubplatestyle), Monday, 29 January 2007 22:30 (nineteen years ago)

'the little heart beats so fast' is gorgeous and also reminds me really strongly of something i can't put my finger on

― lex pretend (lex pretend), Monday, 29 January 2007 22:42 (nineteen years ago)

Everyday is the initial stunner so far. The mid-song vocal tic is handled so delicately...

― natedey (ndeyoung), Tuesday, 30 January 2007 00:18 (nineteen years ago)

kompakt is on a roll to start off 2007 that's for sure. like other folks here i cannot wait to hear the field album.

― josh. (disco stu), Tuesday, 30 January 2007 03:35 (nineteen years ago)

the new jens zimmerman on K2 is pretty incredible--also, perhaps the most villalobosy thing kompakt has ever done.

is anyone else disappointed in paape's new speicher? maybe i'll come around to it as a kind of headbangingly stoopid, rocker-type pleasure, but on first listens i feel like.... after so much time away, that's it?

― philip sherburne (philip sherburne), Wednesday, 31 January 2007 03:59 (nineteen years ago)

i know nothing of this Field, but even mention of kate references makes me feel peculiar and good. what is deal with the Field?

― the table is the table (treesessplode), Wednesday, 31 January 2007 04:02 (nineteen years ago)

listen to 'over the ice' as a taster

― friday on the porch (lfam), Wednesday, 31 January 2007 04:14 (nineteen years ago)

it's got similar vocals to 'do not break' by allien/apparat but instead of continually exploding it's a slow burn. ravey AND sleepy

― friday on the porch (lfam), Wednesday, 31 January 2007 04:16 (nineteen years ago)

oh dear, that is fucking awesome.

― the table is the table (treesessplode), Wednesday, 31 January 2007 04:45 (nineteen years ago)

definitely really feeling the field album. reminds me a little of 'blondie', perhaps not so much in sound as in terms of my own reaction to it. definitely the best album on kompakt in a long time.

― toby (tsg20), Wednesday, 31 January 2007 10:15 (nineteen years ago)

yet to listen to field album on proper speakers/headphones but the gui boratto album is at least as good (better to my ears)!

― lex pretend (lex pretend), Wednesday, 31 January 2007 10:16 (nineteen years ago)

hmm, listening to boratto for the first time right now and you could well be on to something!

― toby (tsg20), Wednesday, 31 January 2007 11:06 (nineteen years ago)

three weeks pass...

Anyone know what the first song that runs a while with vocals at the beginning of the The Field live set that's floating around is? I've been sitting here googling at lyrics for too much time already.

― mh, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 05:01 (nineteen years ago)

Just announced on Kompakt's MySpace page:

Tobias Thomas: mix CD (April 30)
Thomas Fehlmann: Honigpumpe [full-length] (May 29)
Speicher CD 3 (June 4)
Total 8 (August 13)
Rex the Dog: full length (August 27)

+ 12"s by Burger/Voigt, Jurgen Paape, Reinhard Voigt, Stardiver & Superpitcher, etc.

― lou, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 16:54 (nineteen years ago)

thomas fehlmann?? yes

― lfam, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 20:50 (nineteen years ago)

Everyday is the initial stunner so far. The mid-song vocal tic is handled so delicately...

I love that moment so very much right now...

― jackl, Wednesday, 28 February 2007 17:36 (nineteen years ago)

Also completely in love with the Field track on Kompakt's MySpace page (the one that tear-jerkingly mangles "I Only Have Eyes For You").

― lou, Wednesday, 28 February 2007 18:28 (nineteen years ago)

― jed_, Wednesday, 28 February 2007 18:48 (nineteen years ago)

I wonder if the Voigt in BURGER/VOIGT will be Wolfgang of Reinhard. The Burger/Ink album from a few years ago is a classic.

Glad to see others feel the same way about this...

― lou, Friday, 2 March 2007 17:29 (nineteen years ago)

great piece

― willem, Sunday, 4 March 2007 21:34 (nineteen years ago)

anyone want to hook me up with the field album?

has it leaked or are you all getting promos? or is it out?

― Ronan, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 09:44 (nineteen years ago)

it's out 19 apr. i'm not actually all that impressed - we've had most of the best stuff on sun & ice already and the rest suffers from being paler imitations of it

― lex pretend, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 12:52 (nineteen years ago)

I have it now...not impressed either really. The singles are definitely the best tracks.

― Ronan, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 12:59 (nineteen years ago)

have you heard the gui boratto album though ronan? that is v good.

also feeling the mia album (sub static mia obv), some lovely sensual stuff towards the end on that

― lex pretend, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 13:02 (nineteen years ago)

I must check it out...I am very lazy on albums. I did like Mister Decay or whatever it was called a lot.

― Ronan, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 13:06 (nineteen years ago)

there are stubbornly no good mixes coming out though, unless i've missed them...i like the jesse rose body language and alex smoke scifihifi but heard them last year, and the dixon body language has thom yorke slap bang in the middle of it.

'xilo' and 'beautiful' life are v good also, on the boratto album.

― lex pretend, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 13:14 (nineteen years ago)

did not expect MIA to be nearly naked on her album cover

― Michael F Gill, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 16:17 (nineteen years ago)
