Tell Me About It is my jam at the moment, my housemates are SICK of me listening to it on repeat...but it's just so good. Haunting, melancholy, sounds like every Kompakt record should doesn't it?

I imagine I'd pay good money for a Double Disc Superpitcher remix comp.

And I must note that I think his/T. Thomas' remix of Mango is indeed better than the already really good Koze remix.

Anyways,

Copies of Kilimanjaro were unusually cheap at a local record store, so I picked one up. Enjoyed it a good deal, especially Country Boy, Joanna, and Friday Night (which is just so wonderfully glorious).
Regarding the vocals: I think with Superpitcher you kind of have to take the whole package, the whole persona, I guess, that's behind his music (well, his own productions), which indeed does have a lot of personality. I don't know, but looking in the cd case (e.g. at the portraits of him) I get a kind of debonair playboy vibe from him which I find kind of charming. I think this album is at heart an artist-album, and it just wouldn't be the same if it wasn't his voice, even if it, and the lyrics, can sound (wonderfully) cheesy ("sugar girl don't give me pain, don't leave me standing in the rain" got a big smile from me). Though there are some weaker tracks on it, who can deny a good Superpitcher fix, no?

especially the ones that sound like you're stuck inside a washing machine!

I almost struggled over to you somewhere in the last half hour to note that he had now dropped a marble into the washing machine. "tonk! ....tonk! ....tonk!...."

the one he did with sweeney 5 years ago was really fun, stoked to hear this one

willem, Thursday, 16 December 2010 12:51 (thirteen years ago) link

no longer have the old Superpitcher one.. currently downloading these. The Michael Mayer mix from a couple of months ago was really good. Kilimanjaro up there as one my albums of the year.

we all know it....but the "wub-whiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii" noise in this after the "verse". and the way he teases into it. so so amazing. unique producer.

should also add...the bit where the bassline comes back in in "heroin" channels a highly concentrated form of an emotion i seek in almost all music i like, ever. < /drunkpost>

Do Kompakt still release comps akin to Superpitcher's "Today"?

djh, Sunday, 3 May 2015 20:23 (eight years ago) link

not very often ... but occasionally, they do

for example: http://www.discogs.com/Rebolledo-Momento-Drive/release/5789158

the late great, Sunday, 3 May 2015 20:36 (eight years ago) link

there's a conversation to be had about the decline of the dance mix CD in the age of the internet, but it's an old conversation and we've had it before so i'm not going to start it again

the late great, Sunday, 3 May 2015 20:36 (eight years ago) link

Yeah, it's not the time for that conversation ... It was more: I was enjoying 'Today' and was wondering if there was a handy contemporary equivalent.

djh, Sunday, 3 May 2015 21:56 (eight years ago) link

I don't like calling dance tracks essential, but Superpitcher's take on Along the Wire is super duper essential

Sharkie, Monday, 4 May 2015 14:33 (eight years ago) link

x-post: Ta for the Rebolledo recommendation.

Superpitcher's new album will include 24 tracks that will be released over 12 separate releases, one a month.

let's put this here:

I can't find the Superpitcher thread, but his third 12'' is great as well. This album is shaping up to be a favorite.

Yeah I've loved every Golden Ravedays 12" released so far. Perfect nocturnal listening.

Listening to the available fragments of #4 on the Kompakt website. Synths on "Blood Berry" sound like Tom Tom Club/Talking Heads ca. Speaking in Tongues.

#10 is out (duh) and I have all these on a playlist that's now up to 5 hours and 2 minutes, and man is it wonderful

Simon H., Thursday, 2 November 2017 17:17 (six years ago) link

the whole project is starting to feel a bit overwhelming - but in a good way.

I can't keep track of which is which now but I love the recent one that is mostly just rippling harp.

Uploading Andy K's playlists to my iPod for a roadtrip to Germany tomorrow.
Some additions, not much though. Had to add this one to Disc Three, one of my all time favourites:

lockdown has been good for listening to these in succession even though it's hard for me to tell which is which at this point. Up to no. 9 now.
