and i always forget to mention Garnier's (as Choice) 'Acid Eiffel', even though there is no more melancholic an epic in existence.

dntel "(this is) the dream of evan & chan (superpitcher kompakt mix)"

I 2nd "The Illuminator" as probably the saddest (and on of the best) techno records of all time. Thanks for these lists!!

the b-sides on this old heiko laux 12 are gorgeous. And sad.

Derrick May-Beyond the Dance (Cult Mix)
Ghost Cauldron-Ambient Skit (Superpitcher's Ambient Mix)

Jesse Somfay - "For One Brief Moment I Was There" = gray, spiralling sadness

Dominique (dleone), Tuesday, 22 November 2005 13:36 (eighteen years ago) link

You could say that about most of Somfay's material, too.

Michael F Gill (Michael F Gill), Tuesday, 22 November 2005 14:23 (eighteen years ago) link

i wish that i could kiss sadly to this music. but no one i know finds it beautiful, sad or anything really. well, no girls. not one girl anyway.

ambrose (ambrose), Tuesday, 22 November 2005 14:29 (eighteen years ago) link

Poor Ambrose!

You'll have to think of her while you listen tearfully...

Anyway wanted to add:

Light In Darkness - YMO
Computerlove - Kraftwerk
Desire - 69
Electric Bedroom - Alter Ego
These Days - Petter

There was also a track on Movin' Melodies from 1995 that from memory had a very sad anthemic melody over a kind of HiNRG rhythm but I don't know its name...

Telegram Sam, Wednesday, 23 November 2005 02:51 (eighteen years ago) link

more 69- Microlovr. basically Carl Craig is the king of this.

jed_ (jed), Wednesday, 23 November 2005 03:31 (eighteen years ago) link

cozen (Cozen), Wednesday, 23 November 2005 09:51 (eighteen years ago) link

no, girls like indie it seems. well, bands with "the...." in the title. i can count the number of girls i know who like any sort of dance music on one hand.

ambrose (ambrose), Wednesday, 23 November 2005 10:12 (eighteen years ago) link

maybe in other countries, ambrose?

cozen (Cozen), Wednesday, 23 November 2005 10:36 (eighteen years ago) link

you know, the better ones

cozen (Cozen), Wednesday, 23 November 2005 10:40 (eighteen years ago) link

better countries, I mean

cozen (Cozen), Wednesday, 23 November 2005 10:40 (eighteen years ago) link

time to admit the reason I started the thread was for a tape for a girl?

cozen (Cozen), Wednesday, 23 November 2005 10:41 (eighteen years ago) link

"I am become ILM, destroyer of girls"

cozen (Cozen), Wednesday, 23 November 2005 10:43 (eighteen years ago) link

Well then you better use techno Smiths covers :)

Michael F Gill (Michael F Gill), Wednesday, 23 November 2005 11:40 (eighteen years ago) link

ambrose (ambrose), Wednesday, 23 November 2005 11:54 (eighteen years ago) link

cozen (Cozen), Wednesday, 23 November 2005 12:01 (eighteen years ago) link

anyway

the dark end of the street (superpitcher rmx.)

cozen (Cozen), Wednesday, 23 November 2005 12:03 (eighteen years ago) link

deviated a little off them at places, to taste

CD1 the soft sleep between dreams

lawrence, "spark"
ada, "each & everyone (blindhouse)"
isolée, "beau mot plage"
ghost cauldron, "are you conscious? (superpitcher rmx.)"
ricardo villalobos, "easy lee"
m83, "teen angst (luciano rmx)"
argy, "love dose (luciano rmx)"
tocotronic, "hi freaks (superpitcher beautiful freaks rmx)"
2raumwohnung, "spiel mit (akustik version)"

CD2 I never thought I'd get to these points in my life

chelonis r jones, "I don't know"
isolée, "schrapnell" (it was all getting a little too morbid)
closer musik, "one two three (no gravity)"
m83, "don't save us from flames (superpitcher rmx)"
luomo, "tessio"
ghost cauldron, "ambient skit (superpitcher's ambient mix)"
ada, "maps"


yeah we heard all these lots of times long ago but not everyone has... but remember the first time you heard it? say maybe inhaling a knuckle of smoke or listing down the high street - didn't you just love it?

cozen (Cozen), Wednesday, 23 November 2005 21:08 (eighteen years ago) link

*off theme

cozen (Cozen), Wednesday, 23 November 2005 21:08 (eighteen years ago) link

knuckle of smoke!

Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Wednesday, 23 November 2005 21:40 (eighteen years ago) link

that joakim remix of seelenluft

Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Wednesday, 23 November 2005 21:41 (eighteen years ago) link

Ooh, I've heard most of Cozen's mix!

I don't like that "Teen Angst" remix, though. It saps everything that's good about the original right out.

jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 23 November 2005 21:45 (eighteen years ago) link

Cozen -- from the looks of it, you should have just made a 2CD Best of Superpitcher comp!

MindInRewind (Barry Bruner), Wednesday, 23 November 2005 21:48 (eighteen years ago) link

yeah i was thinking the same.

jed_ (jed), Wednesday, 23 November 2005 21:52 (eighteen years ago) link

yeah a pretty safe and staid coupla CDs

mainly because I'll now have to wait a while to download all the tracks you lot mentioned and I want to get this package out tomorrow

thanks for yr help, pundits!

x-post

so I like spitcher SO WHAT

cozen (Cozen), Wednesday, 23 November 2005 21:53 (eighteen years ago) link

If every CD could double as a best of Superpitcher, there would be no need for a heaven.

We'd already be there.

Ronan (Ronan), Wednesday, 23 November 2005 22:01 (eighteen years ago) link

Well then you better use techno Smiths covers :)

-- Michael F Gill

Thomas Brinkmann (feat. Tusia Beridze)? Still needing to hear that...

fandango (fandango), Wednesday, 23 November 2005 22:08 (eighteen years ago) link

SO WHAT? you could at least have put "Dexter" on it.

jed_ (jed), Wednesday, 23 November 2005 22:12 (eighteen years ago) link

I don't have dexter MP3

cozen (Cozen), Wednesday, 23 November 2005 22:16 (eighteen years ago) link

hope thats the just us dub of "i dont know"....

was thinking that that tune fitted the bill for me perfectly with the thread title.

ambrose (ambrose), Thursday, 24 November 2005 10:34 (eighteen years ago) link

the like/dislike ratio on that red line YT is impossible

oder doch?, Tuesday, 14 July 2020 04:36 (three years ago) link

one year passes...

Ric y Martin, “Teiwass”

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bzN_bCXSQV0

it’s always so good when Ricardo’s latent Depecheness emerges so explicitly like this

missingNO, Friday, 17 September 2021 15:35 (two years ago) link

sorry for consecutive postings but this Dandy Jack / Sonja Moonear track is wonderfully forlorn dusky street lamp vibes

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RRi9y0gezoA

missingNO, Sunday, 19 September 2021 07:46 (two years ago) link

I...really don't get the "soft" or "sad" from the Dandy Jack track. At all.

I'm a sovereign jazz citizen (the table is the table), Monday, 20 September 2021 15:48 (two years ago) link

this track is for me the definition of soft, sad techno.

it sounds very melancholy to me in a wistful, pensive, James Stinson interstate truck driving at night kind of way but whatever I’m heavily depressed so

missingNO, Tuesday, 21 September 2021 05:16 (two years ago) link

maybe not so soft but i hear the melancholy in it for sure. the synth lead does fade in and out like street lamps floating by on a highway

karl...arlk...rlka...lkar..., Tuesday, 21 September 2021 14:29 (two years ago) link

how about this one, "Niji" by Denki Groove

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iqT8t6OSNrM

very Orbital-esque, almost like a direct sequel to "Halycon". it's one of their most popular tracks though amusingly enough they never did anything like it again
