Nobody mentioned Triola "Unland" (The Modernist Remix)
I think it's a fantastic track. Classic Kompakt stuff.

Pop Ambient 2006 is gorgeous! Guitars and pianos are much more prevalent, and the Ulf Lohmann track with the live-sounding drums and high pitched voices is stunning. On first listen, It could be the best volume yet, or at least as good as 2003 (my other fave.) In any case, it's at least a bit of a progression of the "pop ambient" sound.

Michael's version of Immer 2 is so my favourite album of the year.

the orb album is wonderful. so thick and juicy.

― cutty (mcutt), Monday, 5 December 2005 18:18 (eighteen years ago) link

The new SCSI-9 single is sweet. And Dahlback finally delivers a great acid tune with the new Speicher.

From the latest Kompakt-mp3 mailout:

KONTRAST is the name of the newborn Kompakt dreamteam consisting of ex-CLOSER MUSIK member DIRK LEYERS and good ol´ JUSTUS KÖHNCKE. It´s certainly not wrong to say that this project is heavily inspired by Berlin´s wonderful Panorama Bar. Like in this clubs there are no rules on this record than "Enjoy yourself!". Slow is the new fast.

Mentioned upthread already, but: eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Does anyone have any of the previous kompakt mp3 mailouts? Somehow I didn't start receiving them until last week.

― Michael F Gill (Michael F Gill), Saturday, 10 December 2005 03:37 (eighteen years ago) link

I think I have all of them. You want them forwarded?

― telephone thing, Saturday, 10 December 2005 05:02 (eighteen years ago) link

That would be grand!

― Michael F Gill (Michael F Gill), Saturday, 10 December 2005 06:13 (eighteen years ago) link

heh. Total 6 packaging is staying together fine (nerd).

That Orb video is funny... it's like Mister Truck Driver ^_^

― frickin' username (fandango), Saturday, 17 December 2005 05:24 (eighteen years ago) link

Just downloaded the Kontrast 12", and after a cursory listen it's fecking great. Deep, surly spacey disco, a lot more dark and functional and "track"-y than I'd expect from something with Koehncke involved, but all good stuff.

― telephone thing, Saturday, 17 December 2005 05:35 (eighteen years ago) link

Tracky Disco.

― Michael F Gill (Michael F Gill), Saturday, 17 December 2005 05:37 (eighteen years ago) link

I wanted to not like The Orb album for some reason but it's actually pretty sweet in it's own little Kompaktish way.

― frickin' username (fandango), Saturday, 17 December 2005 06:05 (eighteen years ago) link

It's a bit sad, bare and lonely somehow in it's minimalness though, makes me feel old. Is this... micro-goth?

I also wonder if it won't sound completely anonymous and forgettable in like, six months time.

― frickin' username (fandango), Saturday, 17 December 2005 06:11 (eighteen years ago) link

this is not making me sad anymore, but happy :)

― frickin' username (fandango), Monday, 19 December 2005 02:27 (eighteen years ago) link

Picking it up on sale for $9.99 at Newbury Comics made me even happier.

― Zimmer026 (Zimmer026), Monday, 19 December 2005 02:41 (eighteen years ago) link

I want to hear more about Kontrast. Is it really "spacey disco?" If so, I'm gonna need it.

― matt2 (matt2), Monday, 19 December 2005 16:24 (eighteen years ago) link

The A-side is, sort of. Still very technofied, but could fit in with Lindstrom et al. The B-sides...still not sure what to call them. Tech-house, maybe.

― telephone thing, Monday, 19 December 2005 16:27 (eighteen years ago) link

what other dirk leyers stuff is there apart from "wellen"? i wish he had released a solo album ratehr than aguayo.

― ambrose (ambrose), Monday, 19 December 2005 17:29 (eighteen years ago) link

That is not a nice or (imo) correct thing to say ambrose. Aguayo's album was excellent. But I would be just as happy to have a Leyers album as well. And I really do think I'll have to hear the Kontrast now. Thanks for the info Ryan.

― matt2 (matt2), Monday, 19 December 2005 17:58 (eighteen years ago) link

My god, has anybody heard the most recent speicher (32 methinks)? One of the Dahlback boys has a track called "gas" as the A-Side. Very good track. Full of nice chirps and squelches.

― Trace, Monday, 19 December 2005 18:22 (eighteen years ago) link

Leyers did one track, talked about here (it used to be downloadable, but not any more), that came out on an early Firm release.

― Andy_K (Andy_K), Monday, 19 December 2005 18:54 (eighteen years ago) link

You're welcome Matt, though don't take my word on the genre descriptors- I'm terrible with those.

― telephone thing, Monday, 19 December 2005 18:56 (eighteen years ago) link

ok i listened to the aguayo album again today and it grew on me a bit, but i scarecely see how i can be incorrect in wishing something! maybe it isnt nice, but i think the element of closer musiks, well, music that i enjoy (not necessarily the "good" buit) is provided by leyers rather than aguayo. but i dont know that, thats based on the evidence of "after love", "wellen" and aguayos album

― ambrose (ambrose), Monday, 19 December 2005 21:22 (eighteen years ago) link

I really, really liked the Aguayo album, it felt like a very untypical and idiosycratic Kompakt record too which was nice. Some Kompakt stuff can seem a bit too tied in to the label sound and homogeonous.

― frickin' username (fandango), Monday, 19 December 2005 21:34 (eighteen years ago) link

This is straight from the Kompakt-mp3 mailout, but: they're selling mp3s of Justus Koehncke's live set from the Total 6 release party, including a Chic cover!

― telephone thing, Tuesday, 20 December 2005 02:10 (eighteen years ago) link

oh man i just saw that today and was so tempted but i have spent so much there lately.

― u saved me (dubplatestyle), Tuesday, 20 December 2005 02:15 (eighteen years ago) link

the photo of justus that comes with the total 6 live set, as sold on kompakt-mp3, is a snapshot i took of him that i originally posted on my blog! :) i'm super happy that he used it.

― geeta (geeta), Tuesday, 20 December 2005 09:40 (eighteen years ago) link

I got Total 6 last Monday and just wanted to say how much i hate that Reinhard Voigt track. ACHHHHHHH!

― Tokyo Ghost Stories (Tokyo Ghost Stories), Friday, 30 December 2005 01:18 (eighteen years ago) link

wait til you hear it out. your life will be changed... forever

― Yawn (Wintermute), Friday, 30 December 2005 06:25 (eighteen years ago) link

(and not in a good way)

― Yawn (Wintermute), Friday, 30 December 2005 06:25 (eighteen years ago) link

So any word on particularly noteworthy 2006 releases?

― matt2 (matt2), Tuesday, 3 January 2006 16:29 (eighteen years ago) link

the florent g-net EP came out on K2, i have that on the way in the mail. new jonas bering 12" - "behind this silence"...anyone? also, another immer release came out but haven't heard it yet.

also noticed that FE is selling two kompakt slipmat sets - one with the kompakt logo and another set with the speicher logo. sweet.

― jason m. (jason m), Tuesday, 3 January 2006 17:13 (eighteen years ago) link

Easy Street in Seattle has the same 2 sets of slipmats...13.99, i think.

― biz, Tuesday, 3 January 2006 21:37 (eighteen years ago) link

Well whadda ya know, Immer 2 seems to hit the streets as planned on the 16th. :)

(probably followed by the biggest backlash this side of Human After All :(

― Omar (Omar), Wednesday, 4 January 2006 08:29 (eighteen years ago) link

Well whaddaya know, I had forgotten to check the 1st. Connective Zone = hair-raising classic ! Bravo

― blunt (blunt), Wednesday, 4 January 2006 08:43 (eighteen years ago) link

Where is the Immer tracklisting!

― Michael F Gill (Michael F Gill), Wednesday, 4 January 2006 16:55 (eighteen years ago) link

seconded.

― Andy_K (Andy_K), Wednesday, 4 January 2006 17:15 (eighteen years ago) link

it's in magda's pants (again)

― fandango (fandango), Wednesday, 4 January 2006 17:50 (eighteen years ago) link

So Andy, what happened? I just noticed on the Kompakt site that there is a cd45 (The Orb) and a cd47 (Pop Ambient 2006) but no cd46 (which should be/have been Immer 2).

(the reason why I got all excited is that most big online cdshops over here have it on pre-order now with an EAN code. Obviously this lack of a tracklisting, which should of course have leaked in 2004 or so, always was a bit suspicious :(

― Omar (Omar), Wednesday, 4 January 2006 21:42 (eighteen years ago) link

Immer 002 D-SAW / DR. MOTTE and JONAS BERING "BEHIND THIS SILENCE" KOMPAKT 132 already available at Kompakt's mp3 site.
