yeah, that steadycam "dull in minor" is great isn't it? woozy and with a great kick drum.

guys, i really admire your label loyalty, but seriously,

ok the axel willner 12"es, but apart from that,

oh n/m. carry on

― fez (fez), Wednesday, 28 June 2006 20:41 (seventeen years ago) link

if you're sure you don't mind.

― michael wells (michael w.), Wednesday, 28 June 2006 20:44 (seventeen years ago) link

fez is all micro-ed out

― Michael F Gill (Michael F Gill), Wednesday, 28 June 2006 21:10 (seventeen years ago) link

yeah the kick in "dull in minor" is perfect.

wow, thanks tim! this is fantastic....

i prefer the original 'like you' as well, which i didn't expect. i don't see what is rock about it at all!

i'm having which-one-is-which confusion about the field 'under the ice' single - i think the one i absolutely adore is 'istedgade', the massive pop anthemic one with the annoying glitch in it (nb: does anyone know where i might find a copy without the glitch?), but upthyread or elsewhere someone said it was 'sun and ice'.

― The Lex (The Lex), Thursday, 29 June 2006 11:15 (seventeen years ago) link

there is a glitch-skip (in time) toward the end of one of the tracks on the sun&ice vinyl as well. i assumed it was intentional. screwing with you if you're trying to match it to your next record.

"what the?! oh."

― andrew m. (andrewmorgan), Thursday, 29 June 2006 13:37 (seventeen years ago) link

I wonder if we're going to wonder about skipping every time The Field releases new music.

haha! word.

― andrew m. (andrewmorgan), Thursday, 29 June 2006 14:16 (seventeen years ago) link

This leaked, I'm lame, fez sorta OTM :/

I seem to like most of the K2 stuff more than Kompakt proper right now it would appear. Esp. Hug - The Happy Monster, which even though it's not anything that special at least works for dancing.

Tried saving this by rejiggling the tracklist but I'm struggling to fill just one disc so far. Doesn't feel anywhere near as fresh as 6, and some of the more pop/trance-inclined stuff is just icky.

― fandango (fandango), Saturday, 8 July 2006 00:44 (seventeen years ago) link

What I'd keep (maybe, will probably delete it all to be ruthless).

1. Kontrast - Grey Skies To Blue (7:07) (more like blue skies to gray! VERY heavy track to open with, not so much melancholy as just depressing. Feels like it needs a Morrissey guest vocal)
2. Triola - Wighnomys Polarzipper Remix (5:35) (heard this before somewhere. great track, doesn't feel below par)
3. Robert Babicz - 3 Sonntag (6:44)
4. Steadycam - Knock Kneed (7:13)
5. Thomas Fehlmann - Saft (4:58)
6. Gui Boratto - Like You Supermayer Remix (7:38) (not that sure about this one overall but the retro piano house style percussion breakout is FAB)
7. Dj Koze - Getreide Phunk (6:30) (not quite got my head round this one yet)
8. Wassermann - In Tyrannis 2006 (4:14) (ehh... it's unique, not sure if that's a good thing)
9. Hug - The Happy Monster (6:09) dance!
10. Wighnomy Bros - Wombat (6:10) dance!
11. Reinhard Voigt - Tranceformation (5:31)

no love for the rice twins track, huh?

― jergins (jergins), Saturday, 8 July 2006 01:03 (seventeen years ago) link

rice pudding more like... ehhh, it's alright, stick it on the end I suppose, it needs something more uplifting to end on. I feel a bit left behind by it (in the land of not-cheese) personally though.

― fandango (fandango), Saturday, 8 July 2006 01:20 (seventeen years ago) link

You don't like "Sweet Harmony" fandango? I think it's brill.

― The Brainwasher (Twilight), Saturday, 8 July 2006 05:03 (seventeen years ago) link

Wassermann - In Tyrannis 2006 (4:14) (ehh... it's unique, not sure if that's a good thing)

unique in that its the SINGLE WORST THING VOIGT HAS EVER DONE

wtf was he thinking? 'im so fed up with people asking me for new stuff... maybe i should take the best track ive ever done, take out everything thats good about it, make it sound all cluttered and dissonant, and put it right in the middle of the new compilation? haha yeah thatll teach them XD'

― fez (fez), Saturday, 8 July 2006 06:12 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm glad the Babicz track 'Sonttag' made the cut - i thought it was kinda undeservedly overlooked. much better than A-side Mister Head.

― Good Dog (Good Dog), Saturday, 8 July 2006 18:31 (seventeen years ago) link

i reckon "over the ice" is the best of this kompakt bunch but, i don't know, i reckon they're going through a pretty good patch.

― michael wells (michael w.), Saturday, 8 July 2006 18:50 (seventeen years ago) link

The new Justus tune samples a bit of Robotnick's "Dance Boy Dance"

― Michael F Gill (Michael F Gill), Sunday, 9 July 2006 04:33 (seventeen years ago) link

I lurv that Kontrast track.

― trees (treesessplode), Sunday, 9 July 2006 04:37 (seventeen years ago) link

I've just run the title of the one Kontrast MP3 I've got through babelfish:'Stammtisch Der Verzweiflung' comes out as 'Table reserved for regulars of the despair'. ha ha, fantastically gloomy.

― Bidfurd (Bidfurd), Sunday, 9 July 2006 08:53 (seventeen years ago) link

Am I the only one to find the Superpitcher a painful listen? I'm sorry, but those vox are just laughable.

― Jena (JenaP), Sunday, 9 July 2006 16:19 (seventeen years ago) link

It's no different from the vocals on Here Comes Love? I like it.

― Michael F Gill (Michael F Gill), Sunday, 9 July 2006 17:34 (seventeen years ago) link

Actually I hated his vocals on Here Comes Love as well, I was just kinda hoping that he was done with that phase. And yeah fez otm upthread.

― Jena (JenaP), Sunday, 9 July 2006 21:44 (seventeen years ago) link

ok speicher 37 - Tom Pooks. Thoughts? i'm not into the A, but the B is really good, Jamie Principle bassline, just enough there there, but then a bit rush of trance chords and it takes off. best thing I've heard on speicher for a bit.

― Good Dog (Good Dog), Thursday, 13 July 2006 03:55 (seventeen years ago) link

two weeks pass...

There's another ambient Kaito album coming: Hundred Million Love Years

It took me all day to pin it down, but the b-side to the new Justus twelve inch "Advance" is based on the synth break from the 90's version of "Oh What A Night" by The Four Seasons. What will he come up with next?!

― Michael F Gill (Michael F Gill), Wednesday, 2 August 2006 04:25 (seventeen years ago) link

Hundred Million Light Years just never stuck with me, much as I had hoped it would. Just too light and airy, nothing to sink in to. I don't suppose this new one will be that much different.

― matt2 (matt2), Wednesday, 2 August 2006 16:24 (seventeen years ago) link

The new Kaito album has to be just ambient/beatless of the last. That'll stick even less.

― natedey (ndeyoung), Wednesday, 2 August 2006 17:55 (seventeen years ago) link

that recent Kilmek album sucks so bad.

― jed_ (jed), Wednesday, 2 August 2006 18:01 (seventeen years ago) link

...which is what i would say if i were american but since i'm scottish i'll just tell you it's shite.

― jed_ (jed), Wednesday, 2 August 2006 18:07 (seventeen years ago) link

definitely familiar, but will someone please please please identify the song in the mayer mix linked to above on the cocoon site that starts at about 1:42:00 ??? it's killing me!

30.10.2006 MICHAEL MAYER MIX CD IMMER 2 / KOMPAKT CD 46

Lies!! All lies!! You're nothing but a tease Herr Mayer!

― Zimmer026 (Zimmer026), Thursday, 3 August 2006 14:02 (seventeen years ago) link

Unless he's done an entirely new mix it's going to be about a year old, so it'll be interesting to see how it stacks up - although Mayer has tended to be lucky in the "choosing tracks that don't end up on every other mix-cd ever" department. Imagine if M.A.N.D.Y.'s Body Language had been delayed by almost a year - everyone would have said it was a hopeless derivative mix.

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Thursday, 3 August 2006 20:51 (seventeen years ago) link

just wanted to re-ask:

definitely familiar, but will someone please please please identify the song in the mayer mix linked to above on the cocoon site that starts at about 1:42:00 ??? it's killing me!

yay!

― etc (esskay), Friday, 4 August 2006 03:56 (seventeen years ago) link

No-one told me the flip to "Sozinho" on the vinyl is almost as good as the a-side! Gui Boratto I love youuuu.

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Friday, 4 August 2006 21:54 (seventeen years ago) link

new Justus 'Advance' is excellent! Dunno if it's as good as 'Elan' and 'Timecode' but it'll do. Disco stomp and Detroit synths

― Good Dog (Good Dog), Wednesday, 9 August 2006 16:48 (seventeen years ago) link

Nothing says Detroit like Frankie Valli! ;)

― Michael F Gill (Michael F Gill), Wednesday, 9 August 2006 17:59 (seventeen years ago) link

my ears tell me tis a polysix

― Good Dog (Good Dog), Wednesday, 9 August 2006 18:01 (seventeen years ago) link

both sides of the justus are excellent. so far up my strasse it feels like he's moved in next door.

― stirmonster (stirmonster), Wednesday, 9 August 2006 18:17 (seventeen years ago) link

Okay, late to the party, but I think people are underrating Total 7 on this thread. I think it's great, definitely the best Total since Total 4 - every track is at least good, and there's so many ace ace ace ones! Jonas Bering and Robert Babicz both surprised me with their swoony numbers.

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Tuesday, 22 August 2006 10:03 (seventeen years ago) link

the second cd is particularly awesome - 'take that'! 'tranceformation'! 'the happy monster'! i like the bering one too, though i prefer his recent single esp '37°2'.

new justus kohncke single is fun. minimal funk!

― The Lex (The Lex), Tuesday, 22 August 2006 10:07 (seventeen years ago) link

The Rice Twins' "For Penny & Alexis" is so pretty! Steadycam's "Knock-Kneed" is like hammer horror techno! SCSI-9's "When She Said Goodbye" is precisely the rainbow-coloured pop that their recent album shamefully lacked! Jurgen Paape's 'Take That" is so comedy-menacing!

My only criticism is that "Tranceformation", "Redlight" and "Saft" shouldn't be put in a row - they're the sternest tracks on there (although they're all really good), and they should be broken up a little.

Yeah "The Happy Monster" is so good! The perfect title for it as well.

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Tuesday, 22 August 2006 10:11 (seventeen years ago) link

I think they passed over some good releases from the past year to make room for a couple of sub-par new tracks. It could've been better, in other words.

― JoB (JoB), Tuesday, 22 August 2006 11:31 (seventeen years ago) link

Repeating myself from upthread, but yes, this included everything I wanted except for Mayer and Voigt's Transparenza. It's a great collection, and even though it seemed like a quiet year for Kompakt, this would indicate that it was a quietly strong year.

― matt2 (matt2), Tuesday, 22 August 2006 12:17 (seventeen years ago) link

What good stuff was left off?

Gui Boratto - Sozinho
Stardiver - Borderline
Mayer/Voigt - Tranceperanza
something from the Kontrast single
Steadycam - Dull In Minor
Hug - The Platform

I guess some of the other K2 singles I haven't heard? I can understand why they didn't include multiple Boratto/Steadycam/Hug/Kontrast tracks.
