Not at all. It's one of his more aggressive tracks, closer to Irre -- bowel-rumbling bass line if played at the right volume.
"Baby's On Fire" is just shitty.
Never been big on this, either. There's a small handful of his tracks -- this one included -- that I either can't stand or just mildly enjoy, depending on the circumstances.

I think it would have been better to have a few instrumentals or guest vocalists - the vocals don't get irritating but they do institute a fundamental sameness that undercuts the range of variation actually present on the record.

This is my problem with it, on the nose. I don't even mind the two tracks everyone else dislikes. Its just all v. samey.

The WB's (w/ Superpitcher) "Baby's on Fire" a kinda mash up thing, probably better than the original (the original superpitcher version that is). Has bits of the Velvets "waiting for the man" in it.

the superpitcher album has grown on me a lot. if i mentally program out "fever", it might make my top 10.

Which of course also means Giorgio Moroder circa Knights in White Satin.

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

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
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

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

I can't find the Superpitcher thread, but his third 12'' is great as well.

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.

― 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.
