Kompakt: Search und Destroy - Teil Drei

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;

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

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..

This is ok. The Dave DK EP is great though, Ulrich Schnauss and Isolée both in good form.

i dig it. i don't know weval. i would buy their new album. will check out dave dk ep.

okay, isolee wins that round. schnauss mix a little too syrupy for me.

Total 16 coming in August...

this sounds awesome!

please send it to me k thanks

might have to re-think my whole "i don't need kompakt on vinyl because the CDs sound so amazing" thing....

it was cheap on discogs.

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

christ, 14 For Sale from $24.88

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
