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

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.

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.

+ 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)

i do love the field album but can also easily see how people would be not much impressed at all.

― strongohulkington, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 16:27 (nineteen years ago)

plz to ysi.

― the table is the table, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 16:37 (nineteen years ago)

is anyone else excited about Tobias Thomas: mix CD (April 30) ???

― W i l l, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 23:23 (nineteen years ago)

So the Dixon Body Language isn't a joke invented by Ronan???

― Tim F, Wednesday, 7 March 2007 03:28 (nineteen years ago)

Glad yr liking MIA, Lex! How does the new album compare w/ Schwarzweiss? Anyone?

& any of the Aussies going to see Rex The Dog? Couldn't quite organise the trip across the ditch (we don't get Booka Shade later in the month, either) . . . bah.

― etc, Wednesday, 7 March 2007 04:47 (nineteen years ago)

two weeks pass...

Is that a nod to Luomo's "What Good" in the new Nightcats 12" on K2?? I could be wrong, but it sounds like he's saying "Just let me know". Either way, this is very good stuff. Also enjoying the 2 tracks on Nightcats' MySpace page.

― lou, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 21:19 (nineteen years ago)

So the Dixon Body Language isn't a joke invented by Ronan???

No! It most certainly isn't. I heard about it when I interviewed Jesse Rose but it was also on the Test Industries blog aeons ago, and Richard who writes that does some press for Get Physical...so there you go.

I do invent jokes on my blog but that was true.

To be honest this endless ploughing of real deep house by Get Physical is starting to grate....

― Ronan, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 23:42 (nineteen years ago)

does richard do the GF press? GF do the best written press releases in dance music.

But their office is so useless, they forget to send them out

― good dog, Thursday, 22 March 2007 00:51 (nineteen years ago)

GP ! not GF

duh

― good dog, Thursday, 22 March 2007 00:52 (nineteen years ago)

I think he does...though I'm not 100 percent certain. I know he does press work for them, but whether it's writing the press releases I'm not sure.

― Ronan, Thursday, 22 March 2007 00:57 (nineteen years ago)

someone clever does it anyway - lots of juicy quotes and not too much boosterism, which means more informed coverage I imagine.

― good dog, Thursday, 22 March 2007 01:02 (nineteen years ago)

hey, what's that justus kohncke / prins thomas 12" like? that seemed like a dream collab for me but there's not been much said about it.

― haitch, Thursday, 22 March 2007 01:08 (nineteen years ago)

it's really awesome actually! i just listened to it last night, i didn't realise i'd downloaded it - the 'elan' mix is so prettily epic. lovely lovely strings.

― lex pretend, Thursday, 22 March 2007 11:23 (nineteen years ago)

oh man, NOW I realise it wasn't the Rice Twins track that I suddenly realised I liked via Jeffrey Mac's mix, but The Field :-p

― fandango, Sunday, 25 March 2007 01:55 (nineteen years ago)

not impressed either really. The singles are definitely the best tracks.

i don't agree
the singles on the sampler and everyday are all as enjoyable as the previous singles

― micarl, Sunday, 25 March 2007 02:37 (nineteen years ago)

ok so nightcats, jurgen paape's fruity loops, reinhard voigt, kompakt is fucking steaming ahead of the entire world now...this is a quite astonishing run of greatness!

― lex pretend, Sunday, 25 March 2007 08:53 (nineteen years ago)

prins thomas rework of advance, too!

― jergincito, Sunday, 25 March 2007 20:16 (nineteen years ago)

I must hear more of this goodness (I think I'm only getting about what half the label is releasing at this point).

― Ned Raggett, Sunday, 25 March 2007 20:24 (nineteen years ago)

get pop ambient 2007!

― fies, Sunday, 25 March 2007 20:35 (nineteen years ago)

Doubtless. In the meantime I'm finally listening to the Gui Boratto and I don't care what anyone says/how behind the times I might be, "Beautiful Life" had me up and dancing like no song in a long, long time.

― Ned Raggett, Sunday, 25 March 2007 21:44 (nineteen years ago)

Tobias Thomas: Please Please Please [May 1]

"Please Please Please is the third and last episode in a trilogy of DJ mix CDs by Cologne's Tobias Thomas for Kompakt. More-so than its prequels, Please Please Please tries to slow things down as a modest reaction to a changing world of club culture and dance music in which technology tackles music's humanity and the permanent hunger for new kicks and simple signals leads to more and more strange musical results. The tracklisting involves some great personalities in the world of electronic music's past and present: Fred Gianelli, Ricardo Villalobos, Johannes Heil and Reinhard Voigt, to name a few. Listen closely and you'll also find covers of legendary hits by Johnny Marr and Stevie Nicks."

― lou, Monday, 26 March 2007 12:45 (nineteen years ago)

i found the justus/prins thing at the record store. as mentioned earlier, it's a good 'un. the 'advance' rework is my fave.

― haitch, Monday, 26 March 2007 13:05 (nineteen years ago)

The Smiths references in techno are piling up

― Michael F Gill, Monday, 26 March 2007 17:45 (nineteen years ago)

KOMPAKT RECORDS-Listen closely and you'll also find covers of legendary hits by Johnny Marr and Stevie Nicks

PLANET EARTH: Listen closely and you'll also find covers of legendary hits by Johnny Marr and Stevie Nicks

― Ronan, Monday, 26 March 2007 18:34 (nineteen years ago)

Tobias Thomas - starts off promisingly, but way too much Reinhart Voigt-like badness in the middle. There's a great Burger/Thomas track on it though - 'My Favourite' - which is supposed to be inspired by Wedding Present's 'My Favourite Dress'.
