1) it's the least "pop", and so of least interest in the critical sense. this ties into my pet conspiracy theory that kompakt gets lots of attention because there's lots to write about. i don't think speicher courts our intellectual kicks as much as other kompakt releases. to use an analogy from the language of, um, fashion magazines it's certainly the least directional collection. ("pop" is probably the wrong word to use up there, but "diverse" doesn't quite nail it either)
2) aside from "love is stronger than pride", "fieber" and "regensburg", most of the tracks go nowhere - although i have heard love from various sources for "supertiel" (nope don't get it), "irre" and "musick".

But I think Vahid is mainly right - a lot of those Reinhard Voight-style bangers don't seem to have much purpose except banging, so they're harder to latch onto or become emotionally involved with.
Has anyone else heard Wighnomy Bros' "Bodyrock"? Luvvit luvvit luvvit.

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

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!

the Heiko Voss is insidiousVillalobos - Easy Lee is just coolmy 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

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?

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

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

Jul 12, 2004 12:35am garnet (joined Jun 6, 2004) i'll know who you are
Jul 12, 2004 6:40pm fozzie (joined Jun 6, 2004) 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.

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

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.

Yes, this is def *the* schaffel mix. I've heard Superpitcher's rmx of Quark's I Walk on at least 2 diff commercial mixes (Optimo & Ivan Smagghe's) but neither are as sleek and sexy as it is on there for me.

Tim, what's the name of the track I quoted the other day with the really squelchy voccoder? I think it comes right before Unter Null.

1. Mikkel Metal - 'Testan' (Kompakt) 2. Superpitcher - 'Grace' (Kompakt) 3. Quarks - 'I Walk (Superpitcher Shaffel Mix)' (Kompakt Extra) 4. Wassermann - 'W.I.R' (Profan) - presumably from this 12"?5. Michael Mayer/ Reinhard Voigt - 'Unter Null' (Kompakt) 6. 2Raumwohnung - 'Ich Weiss Warum (T.Raumschmiere Remix)' (IT Sounds)
