Kompakt: Search und Destroy - Teil Drei

it's pretty cool how music can evolve over time...arguably kohncke's original was also a copy in bad taste so now what we have is a reproduction of a reproduction. kind of endemic in dance music ca. 2005.

I know the feeling. My guess: Hall & Oates?

I dunno. I don't find it that shameful since it happens all the time (Daft Punk, Felix da Housecat, supposedly M.A.N.D.Y. too). On the other hand I'll admit I always find it a bit disappointing at first when they rip the hook/punctum of a tune.

losoul using "billie jean"?

soul center?

or luomo & raz ohara...

it's not really an issue for me

(though stuffing up has at least allowed me to realise er objectively that my favourite part is what Kohncke actually brings to the table)

xpost to myself

My head hurts from all this metasimulacra. Simulacrap, anyone?

strimonster has done a mash up of the Lipps Inc. and the Justus, i believe ;) or rather Timecode's superior backing with edited vocals from the older track.

more details here...

Pure reason must never win
We badly need new lies
To guide us across the universe
And to give us the feast of the world
To drive us into delirium
And to sing us to the most quiet slumber
To warn us of the boring truth
And to pity our deepest pain
To rock us in bamboo-baskets
Pure reason must never win

Pure reason must never win
We badly need new lies
To show us the precious of madness
And then to bow to us
To crown us to kings
Only to taunt us secretly
To hiss in our ears
And to wipe our eyes
To fight them, who want to help us
Pure reason must never win

Pure reason must never win
We badly need new lies
To preserve our beauty
But to split us deep inside
Much more: To deconstruct us
And then to touch us tenderly
To lead us into darkness
To resign to our will
And to bend us like soft fences
Pure reason must never win

We are so light, we could fly...

dude so much kompakt is vinyl only, get crackin!

doesn't everything eventually get turned into a Total comp or whatever?

i'm too old to start buying new 12 inches. i'd never listen to them. or i'd listen to them once.

CD comps kinda perfect for my active lifestyle.

i'd say half or less ends up on Total comps (which contain mucho exclusive tracks.. so yeah might as well stick with CDs)

at least buy this, you need the superpitcher remix

pro tip go to spotify type in label:kompakt put it on shuffle

pro tip go to spotify type in label:kompakt put it on schaffel

i have listened to kompakt on spotify on PS4 before while playing my beloved Resogun. but i can't take too much Spotify sound. makes me cagey.

i am currently the 20th greatest Resogun:Demolition player in the world by the way.

Made myself a couple of "German" CDs for a holiday - To Rococco Rot, Tarwater, Mouse on Mars, a few tracks from the Dial label and lot of Kompakt. Had forgotten how much joy mid-noughties Kompakt brought me. Must have a catch-up ...

autumn + kompakt = perfection.

i really enjoyed the hunter_game album.

the weval one though didn't really do much for me.

There's a Michael Mayer collaboration album coming out on XL shortly

Yeah, had seen an email from !K7 about that. Features collaborations on every track including Roman Flugel, Prins Thomas, Barnt and one each from Hot Chip and Friendly Fires.

Will probably (re)start with Total 16 and see where that sends me.

Mind you, I'm also tempted to make a home made edition of that RSD Superpitcher compilation, too.

The Mayer album is very mixed; each track stands up or falls over based on who the collaborator is.

Has anyone heard TOTAL 16 yet? It's on Spotify I was listening to it yesterday and there wasn't anything that really caught my attention but there wasn't anything that I found annoying. It sounded pretty good and cohesive to my ears... will need to give it more listens to see what sticks but at first listen it might be one of their better years.

Loving Clarian's Ankh EP. The title track feels more trance than the music suggests with the Logan's Run sample. Like a cross between Balearic Incarnation and My Name is Barbarella..

could this be the first kompakt 'new' album in years that i don't buy?
heard it today a couple of times, and i really am not sure about it.

sitting somewhere close to acts like Ween and Junior Boys

does not sound promising

exactly.
also, 12 tracks in 36 mins.
i.e. a lot of throwaway crap.

thankfully I did not read the RA review of the new Gui Boratto album before I heard it.
I ordered it to make an amazon order over the requirements for free delivery.
turns out that the album is crap according to RA.
I beg to differ.
yeah, it's not cool, nor cutting edge.
it is however, a very enjoyable electronica album.
in fact, I have decided to listen to this as a synthwave album.
there are a lot of sonic crossovers in the use of sounds and vocals, which is probably why I am enjoying it so much.

It's perfectly fine. Just like the John Tejada album which RA gave an average review to.

how dare KOMPAKT release an album that sounds like a KOMPAKT album.

( I still have no idea why MS Edge caps lock the word KOMPAKT)

Total 18 next week...

"let the countdown begin … "

TOTAL 19

i feel old

Visited the Koln record store/headquarters in May. I might have been the youngest person in the store and I'm nearly 40.
