Kompakt: Search und Destroy - Teil Drei

Shame Shame...

Total 12 is out next week, back to a one CD comp. It's got got Gus Gus - Over (Life & Death mix) on it. Nice.

ROBERT SCHUMANN CLARA WIECK from total 11 is sooooooooo sick, heard it loud for the first time this weeekend and it's been stuck in my head. what a groove, mood and wicked punchline

so is total 12 out, who's got it? is it good?

so is total 12 out, who's got it? is it good?

pretty solid on first listen, it's back to a 1-disc version so easy to digest in one sitting. matias aguayo track is the biggest throwaway. otherwise, not any outright duds. couple tracks floored me, i need to listen again & pinpoint them

wth is mtv iggy?

No idea, just saw that link on kompakt's own site.

more of my thoughts on Total 12 (it's a keeper...)......... here

You were there in '01?
Anyway, the compilation went double-cd at edition 6, not 4.
First four songs on 12 are killer imo, and I've also got lots of love for the final four. That Coma 12" (Famous) got lots of playtime at my house during the rainy summer, "Raindrops" (d'oh) (b-side) is fantastic, too. Don't like the Boratto track much (it feels clumsy, somehow) and could do without the Aguayo/Rebolledo but the (projected) thought of them having lots of fun recording it makes it bearable. Synth-hook is catchy.

I really like the Aguayo track, and the Gui Boratto for that matter (I think it's deliberately going for big and clumpy and it's more enjoyable for that).

Nothing on this beats the Kolombo tune though which is pretty much my favourite record of 2011 so far.

didn't like the first two much, this whomadewho sounds like a banger, digging it. superpitcher is nice. hard and soft, mr fingers bassline, sad cowbell, trippy sample/vocal at the end. gui boratto track is ridic, altho a bit of a one trick pony. paape is a disposable piece of granular sample nonsense, pleasant, but empty. modernist, err, sounds like the modernist, is good, i guess. wolfgang voigt is masterful and experimental, in emo mode, rather than goth nosebleed mode. so yeh, pretty solid. shame there's no koze.

checking discogs look for paape on 12 (he's not) i clicked the play button next to superpitcher's track. what?

http://www.kompakt.fm/releases/total_12

well he's on my version

that's the end superpitcher's track...

end of the*

aha, so paape's not on the cd version. just playing my cd again - there's no weird vox at the end of my superpitcher track! didn't know the differences between vinyl and cd versions were thát significant.

vinyl ánd digital versions of "white lightning" are more than two minutes longer than the cd-version. just downloaded it from iTunes - those reciting vox are a very very nice touch!

i had a kompakt related brainfart on saturday, was DJing out and couldnt for the life of me remember a song. Its quite recent, jaunty sort of schaeffelly microtrance with crazy moire pattern like breakdowns that seem to get faster and slower at the same time, ive got it but i couldnt even work it out through discogs. the big 30 on the horizon seems to be marking my decline

Anyway, the compilation went double-cd at edition 6, not 4.

ahh, whoops-- thanks!

crazy moire pattern like breakdowns

<3 that

The new Kölsch 12" on the Speicher series is good stuff. A side is hair-raising stuff. Electro house like the 2000s never went away. The B side is even better. Piano house. Arms akimbo.. hands in the air!

It sounds like a Whigfield sample... in a good way.

This seems like a pretty decent overview of 20 years.

Yes. Glad they included All That Matters. Not sure why Kompakt didn't release it properly. Fantastic record.

Looks like CD3 isn't included. Whilst over on the Kompakt website they are selling Kompakt 20 years merchandise including football scarves.

Would totally wear a Kompakt football scarf.

The compilation is kind of weird in its track selection. There's some amazing rarer tracks I'd never heard before (Plexus's Transient, Leandro Fresco's Cera Uno, and I'd lost my copy of Mayer/Voigt's Transparenza) but there are some glaring omissions as well. Two Matias Aguayo tracks right at the start, but Superpitcher is only represented by one Lawrence remix, which is kind of diddling the guy who's made as many amazing tracks as any of them. Also people like Rex The Dog and John Tejada are included who *really* don't feel part of the whole thing.

Obviously it's still better than 99% of compilations that will be released this year.

CD3
01 JÜRGEN PAAPE - SO WEIT WIE NOCH NIE
02 CLOSER MUSIK - ONE TWO THREE NO GRAVITY
03 SCHAEBEN & VOSS - ACH KOMM
04 ARIL BRIKHA - BERGHAIN
05 SASCHIENNE - UNKNOWN / DIXON MIX
06 TERRANOVA - QUESTION MARK FEAT. TOMAS HØFFDING / KINK MIX
FEAT RACHEL ROW
07 KÖLSCH - ALL THAT MATTERS
08 BAXENDALE - I BUILT THIS CITY / MICHAEL MAYER MIX
09 QUARKS - I WALK / SUPERPITCHER SCHAFFEL MIX
10 WHOMADEWHO - EVERY MINUTE ALONE
11 MIKKEL METAL - DORANT
12 BURGER / VOIGT - WAND AUS KLANG

Does this actually exist or is it apocryphal/a complete fantasy?

Matt DC, help focus the tracklist for the vinyl release :)

These seem bizarre omissions from "Vol 1":

01 JÜRGEN PAAPE - SO WEIT WIE NOCH NIE
02 CLOSER MUSIK - ONE TWO THREE NO GRAVITY

Some conversation about this another thread - the one with a Felt title in the subject.

genuinely curious about the results of this:
http://www.factmag.com/2013/03/28/kompakt-to-release-classical-reworkings-of-michael-mayer-gui-boratto-and-more/

could be awesome?

just picked up immer 2, have to say i think it got short shrift in the papers

The samples of the Gregor Schwellenbach classical reworkings sound really good. Kind of surprised as I normally hate it when reworkings of dance tracks come along (see Christian Prommer). These all sound fairly varied... out next week I think.

This is hitting the spot for the enervated Antipodean winter; they don't outstay their welcome.

I'm playing properly now I've got a copy. It's charming. "Was Ist Muzik" even sounds a bit Penguin Cafe Orchestra.

For those with deeper Wolfgang Voigt knowledge than me - is Studio 1's "Grün 4" another title for one of the pieces on the LP ("Neu 1", maybe?)? AFAIK the Grün 12" only has three tracks.

I don't really see the point in this exercise but I'll give it a go.

I really like what's been done with "Domino" and "No Turning Back" but it's more of an interesting curio than essential listen.

Really digging the way schmaltzy, souvenir-snowglobe chintziness rubs up against classical/techno austerity; fits Kompakt to a tee.

New Hippie Dance 12" available in limited amounts through Kompakt.fm. It sounds like Superpitcher and Rebolledo under a new guise.. The Twins.. trippy disco in the Kompakt style.

Reminicising with a friend about the Kompakt DJs he used to get playing Brighton, of which Tobias Thomas was the first almost ten years ago has prompted me to dig out his Smallville mix, and it is completely reminding me what I loved about the sound they had around then. It is so nice to hear a commercially released mix which is obviously a live affair, with mixing that at times struggles to stay on beat, but provides extra tension because of that.

What did/do you make of his Please Please Please mix? Some atop top stuff on there IMO.

I emailed Kompakt to say that if they didn't release a Tobias Thomas mix this year, their 20th anniversary celebrations had no credibility.

(They didn't reply, obviously).

Sweet Advent related mix from the Kompakt stable today;

http://www.mixcloud.com/kompaktrecords/kompakt-advent-drop-truffle-shuffle/

What's this like? Jorg burger, ada, the field, popnoname and others...

http://www.discogs.com/Cologne-Tape-Render/release/2318737

incidentally, the Triola album is really hitting the spot right now. Such warm stuff.

Cologne Tape's Render was the first release on the Magazine label. It sounds pretty serious / traditional Kraut rock to my ears, a nice EP. My favourite track is 'Render 4' which reminds me of Ada's Forty Winks.

Love Rebolledo's mix cd. Great pulse & atmosphere..
