Looking forward to the Tomas Anderrson and Modeselektor full lengths coming out later this year. Tomas has been on fire lately with 3 killer twelve inches ("Festivities," "Washing Up," "Hip Date") as well as great remixes for Sylvie Marks, Trick & Kubic, and Hans Nieswandt.

Is this (Camping 2) going to be all new/recent stuff then? I thought that was the idea mentioned in the review of the first one... which was something I hadn't seen hinted at anywhere else. Umm, usual suspects to thread plz :)

Something like I expected, a mix of newer 'hits' and misc. 12" gems & remixes. A Memo track too. A little bit of 'archive' stuff oddly, maybe selected for flow* more than CD collection logic? I was wondering if it might be mixed this time, but can't see that mentioned anywhere.
*I'd rather have had the other Sascha Funke newie instead of an album track off 'Bravo' I guess. But I'm not complaining, unlike the first 'Camping' I only own a couple of these, not surprisingly the tracks available on CD. Quite glad it doesn't duplicate anything off the 12"s I do have!
Wonder if this'll retail at budget price again? A lot of stores didn't actually sell it at the lower price the first time though.

I downloaded "Masturbation While Mentruation" after donut's praise... it's rubbish!
Part of me still feels slightly hanging on for something else after this new compilation passes (of course my feelings may change when I hear it properly.). Like a Camping 3 of _all new_ tracks. The Modeselektor album will probably keep me going though.
I dunno I love Bpitch pretty hard but I do wonder where they're headed to creatively. I hope they're not losing the quirk, and non-throwaway-DJ tool vibe which really is one of the things that endears them most to me for a 'dance' label. "Washing Up" for instance, it's certainly a "rocker" (emphasis intended) but there's something uneasily generic about it somehow.
― fandango (fandango), Monday, 26 September 2005 21:12 (eighteen years ago) link
The lyrics are lame and 'klash-by-the-numbers... but what did you expect? But I love the music backing.. it's essentially a Bpitch style cover of New Order's "5 8 6", with lots of weird noises zooming in and out.
― donut hallivallerieburtonelli omg lol (donut), Monday, 26 September 2005 21:16 (eighteen years ago) link
Maybe 'rubbish' is harsh, unconvincing (whatever relevance that has for electroclashy stuff) perhaps might be more accurate. Apart from that one I rarely dislike *any* of their tracks! I even loved Krazeee, despite the universally lukewarm-to-bad reviews, oh well.
― fandango (fandango), Monday, 26 September 2005 21:26 (eighteen years ago) link
The edits aren't as noticable as on the first one (because I haven't played 75% of the tracks to death already here) and in fact really improve the playability. There's a fair amount of Total 6 I wouldn't mind taking scissors to...
I think I realised what bugs me about the Washing Up remix after so long... I don't like the way the synth line sounds cheap and nasty after being pitched up slightly, it kinda gets on my teeth, and I wonder if it's intentional or not. I don't know how Tiga makes his stuff, or if I'm misunderstanding the technology involved but aren't things like Ableto supposed to be able to speed parts up without taking them into chipmunk-land? Keeping the original frequencies intact?

The We Love album really is amazing, love how it starts off all dark and gradually becomes more and more celebratory, and is just hands-in-the-air by the end.
They're great live too, DIY robot/Stormtrooper suits and a load of weird instruments. Good theremin action as well.

It made me appreciate the new Ellen Allien record so much more as well.

was double booked the night they played London, it makes me happy & sad to hear they were great.

yeah i know - it's basically "stuff you like, but done PERFECTLY" - and so consistently great that whenever i try to list my favourites off it, i end up listing half the album

yep really like this and 'Dust'. wish they'd do a vinyl pressing of the We Love lp.

Forthcoming collection of Dust remixes is pretty great. Tim Hecker, We Love, Nicolas Jaar, Bodycode...

Anyone following this year's releases? Chaim "Alive" and Aerea Negrot "Arabxilla" are on my "give another chance" pile, feel like the latter has more interesting highs in terms of straying from the Bpitch archetype but some of the tracks about Berlin hipsters are nigh unlistenable.
― psychedelicatessen (seandalai), Wednesday, 28 September 2011 14:38 (twelve years ago) link
Haven't got past the title track off Arabxilla yet where she's singing about buying carrots at Tesco etc.
― master musicians of jamiroquai (NickB), Wednesday, 28 September 2011 14:55 (twelve years ago) link
The Werkschau compilation from the start of the year is a very mixed back, but there are some great tracks on it - Ellen Allien's "The Kiss" and Kiki & Lenz's "Morning Maniacs" are the obvious standouts, and I really like the Telefon Tel Aviv track with Robin Guthrie at the end ("The Sky Is Black") despite its obviousness.
