ah i thought it was a timecode/lipps inc mixy thing. *clueless*. cheers.

the only thing i don't like about elektronische musik interkontinental 4 is that "dinamo" trumps everything else on it.

― tricky (disco stu), Wednesday, 10 August 2005 17:59 (eighteen years ago) link

nice edit, twitch - you took out all of the crap parts. :) do you play it out?

― tricky (disco stu), Wednesday, 10 August 2005 18:07 (eighteen years ago) link

i do.

The relevant point being Total 6 remains to held up against the two aforementioned. I guess that'd count as my second xpost, to myself, following soon after the first.

i heard superpitcher and schaeben + voss at banana republic today...

― vahid (vahid), Monday, 15 August 2005 20:49 (eighteen years ago) link

Superpitcher was on Beats In Space recently, did anyone else get it? The set is not astounding by his standards but he talks to Tim Sweeney at the end for 10 minutes and it's hilarious.

― Ronan (Ronan), Monday, 15 August 2005 20:52 (eighteen years ago) link

and they play Coltrane at Starbucks back-to-back with that Alanis acoustic album and the world is sometimes a horrible, lonely place....

― jsoulja (jsoulja), Monday, 15 August 2005 21:11 (eighteen years ago) link

Beats in Space sets are available for download at http://www.beatsinspace.net/, if anyone hasn't noticed it from past threads.

"This word, it's very important..."

That Superpitcher interview is hilarious and awesome. For those who haven't heard it, he mentions he has a new 12" coming out on Kompakt soon-ish, plus remixes for Andreas Dorau and Lawrence. Also he has finished a new Speicher track.

― Michael F Gill (Michael F Gill), Monday, 15 August 2005 23:56 (eighteen years ago) link

"Pure Vernunft darf niemals siegen" = either/or:

* Pure Reason must not prevail.
* Pure Reason must never win.
* Being Purely Sensible must never Triumph.
* Pure Reason should never prevail.
* Pure Reason may never win.

I'm guessing the 12" Superpitcher's referring to is going to be "Tell Me About It"? Simple as the track may seem, it's proven to be a real grower, I keep going back to it. Mmmm, picking up my copy of Total 6 in a few hours...

― willem (willem), Tuesday, 16 August 2005 07:04 (eighteen years ago) link

Having heard the interview (him trying to translate the Tocotronic song-title :-D), I guess the 12" will be a new thing. And he's going to do another Speicher, too!

― willem (willem), Tuesday, 16 August 2005 08:21 (eighteen years ago) link

Yeah I have to say "Tell Me About It" has grown on me alot.

― Ronan (Ronan), Tuesday, 16 August 2005 09:10 (eighteen years ago) link

M.Mayer's Baxendale remix, Am I the only person to really love this song? I played it at a party last week, towards the end of my set, and a girl even screamed. It left me with chills. One the best song climaxes period.

― Jacob Sanders (LolVStein), Tuesday, 16 August 2005 09:57 (eighteen years ago) link

I thought that Baxendale remix was slightly icky the first time I heatrd it but now I unreservedly love it, the falsetto explosion must be one of the most amazing moments in music this year.

― The Lex (The Lex), Tuesday, 16 August 2005 10:17 (eighteen years ago) link

i love it. the falsetto bit doesn't last long enough!

― pete b. (pete b.), Tuesday, 16 August 2005 11:53 (eighteen years ago) link

yr certainly not the only person to love it, look on the total 6 thread (or was it the justus thread) for more debate. i think i still prefer the original, just cos it has more of that bit where it goes in to harmony singing.

― ambrose (ambrose), Tuesday, 16 August 2005 12:06 (eighteen years ago) link

Here are the lyrics to Pure Vernunft darf niemals siegen translated by Tocotronic f.w.i.w:

Pure reason must never win
We badly need new lies
To guide us across the universe
And to give us the feast of the world
To drive us into delirium
And to sing us to the most quiet slumber
To warn us of the boring truth
And to pity our deepest pain
To rock us in bamboo-baskets
Pure reason must never win

Pure reason must never win
We badly need new lies
To show us the precious of madness
And then to bow to us
To crown us to kings
Only to taunt us secretly
To hiss in our ears
And to wipe our eyes
To fight them, who want to help us
Pure reason must never win

Pure reason must never win
We badly need new lies
To preserve our beauty
But to split us deep inside
Much more: To deconstruct us
And then to touch us tenderly
To lead us into darkness
To resign to our will
And to bend us like soft fences
Pure reason must never win

We are so light, we could fly...

― david day (winslow), Tuesday, 16 August 2005 15:29 (eighteen years ago) link

Got the vinyl Total 6 today. I like the Jurgen Paape alot, and the Superpitcher has won me over now. The DJ Koze is great too, even if I am sure that bassline was used in a really cheesey pop prog hit, that "Deepest Blue" record that charted about a year or two ago, anyone in the UK would remember it maybe?

― Ronan (Ronan), Tuesday, 16 August 2005 20:32 (eighteen years ago) link

sounds a bit like stardust doesnt it

― fe7 (FE7), Tuesday, 16 August 2005 20:38 (eighteen years ago) link

so apparently matias agayo (ex-closer muzik) is going to be releasing something on kompakt soon that the label is very, very excited about. not sure if it's a full-length or not.

― mark p (Mark P), Wednesday, 17 August 2005 00:50 (eighteen years ago) link

if it's anything like the lovefood rmx/slow, i would be exited too!

― tricky (disco stu), Wednesday, 17 August 2005 01:22 (eighteen years ago) link

the closer musik album is AMAZINGLY slept on

― strng hlkngtn, Wednesday, 17 August 2005 01:42 (eighteen years ago) link

mystifyin even

― strng hlkngtn, Wednesday, 17 August 2005 01:46 (eighteen years ago) link

yup, love that album too. it's sexy without affectation.

― tricky (disco stu), Wednesday, 17 August 2005 03:10 (eighteen years ago) link

and it's pretty fair to say that "one two three (no gravity)" is one of kompakt's best. i don't know anyone who's heard it that doesn't like it.

― tricky (disco stu), Wednesday, 17 August 2005 03:13 (eighteen years ago) link

Great tune!

― Chewshabadoo (Chewshabadoo), Wednesday, 17 August 2005 09:03 (eighteen years ago) link

me. ive heard it and i dont really like it.

i said somewhere else, i much prefer closer musik when they are split apart, than when they do stuff as closer musik

― ambrose (ambrose), Wednesday, 17 August 2005 14:08 (eighteen years ago) link

I have to say that the vocals on the Closer Musik album are somewhat off-putting. They're too upfront I guess? Would sound better vocodered.

Also Jess, excellent review in Pitchfork today!

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Wednesday, 17 August 2005 17:22 (eighteen years ago) link

I second the kudos for the Pitchfork review.

Well done!

― jsoulja (jsoulja), Wednesday, 17 August 2005 17:49 (eighteen years ago) link

i like the review, with one exception:

surely the "hot love" remix with the singing could not be exceeded by anything for camp!!

― ambrose (ambrose), Wednesday, 17 August 2005 18:02 (eighteen years ago) link

Jess Harvell, historian!

― Michael F Gill (Michael F Gill), Wednesday, 17 August 2005 22:07 (eighteen years ago) link

On first listen, I'm surprised at the simplicity of the rhythms on the Matias album. It does sounds somewhat similiar to the "Lovefood" remix though. The last track has some odd psuedo-rapping on it.

― Michael F Gill (Michael F Gill), Wednesday, 17 August 2005 23:27 (eighteen years ago) link

I have to say that the vocals on the Closer Musik album are somewhat off-putting. They're too upfront I guess? Would sound better vocodered.

Why is that, are you talking about sex, too sexy for you? That's What I love about Closer Musik/Matias Aguayo, He's not afraid of returning dance music to bare sexually. Unlike the sometimes sterile Intelligent dance music. Is it sometimes camp, yeah but A lot more fun dancing to.

― Jacobs (LolVStein), Thursday, 18 August 2005 03:22 (eighteen years ago) link

Jess used "fart" as a verb and an adjective in his review of Total 6.

Discuss.

(A great review [i.e. in style, substance and sustaining interest] -- regardless of the gas, the requisite P'Fork "...Re-Animator lab mistake of Factory-style gothic indie and chugging house" insider reference, and the "Konpakt." First time in a long time I've read a P'Fork review from start to finish. Maybe since the M.A.N.D.Y. review?)

― Zimmer026 (Zimmer026), Thursday, 18 August 2005 12:22 (eighteen years ago) link

You don't know me very well, do you?

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Thursday, 18 August 2005 16:20 (eighteen years ago) link

i like how upfront the vocals are! it's uncomfortable!

― strng hlkngtn, Thursday, 18 August 2005 16:26 (eighteen years ago) link

xpost
I often find Kompakt records to be slightly too intelligent. I also like to dance and have sex.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Thursday, 18 August 2005 16:28 (eighteen years ago) link

But I am willing to consider the possibility that I am just not ready for Closer Musik's raw, unmediated and upfront sexuality.

That is so you can easily get closer! A vocoder would've ruined it for me (same goes for the Aguayo album, which is sounding excellent thus far).

CM were like my Beatles or Associates.

how dare KOMPAKT release an album that sounds like a KOMPAKT album.

( I still have no idea why MS Edge caps lock the word KOMPAKT)

Visited the Koln record store/headquarters in May. I might have been the youngest person in the store and I'm nearly 40.
