There's been some hot tips on the good Kompakt gear so far - here are some other Kompakt releases I like:
Thomas Fehlmann - Whistle (lovely floaty goodness that's just a masterpiece of production) Ferenc - Yes Sir, I can Hardcore (m.mayer remix is proper cheese-rave-tech) Magnet - Rising Sun (definitive nu-trance track - really hypnotic) Speicher 14 on Kompakt Extra has M.Mayer turning in proper cerebral tech on one side with Schaffel silliness courtesy of The Orb on the flip The Total 5 collection is pretty good, again there's a killer Fehlmann track on there - 'Radeln' that's pure beauty. Lots of people go crazy for the Rex The Dog stuff and there's no denying that they are huge tracks but I don't quite dig them myself. The latest rumour is that Rex The Dog is none other than JX who did that 'Son Of A Gun' track ages ago. Kompakt Pop is wicked as well! Check the latest release for a great heroin-house version of Kylie's 'Slow'. I think the thing with Kompakt is that they release heaps of stuff and most of it isn't really that great (I don't think that much of most of their ambient stuff) and so they get a bad rap. The other thing is that there's quite a high camp element in most of their releases, and not everybody likes camp. >>> "/0" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 06/09/05 8:58 am >>> hahahahah little fluffy clouds! :) ----- Original Message ----- From: "z66" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <313@hyperreal.org> Sent: Wednesday, June 08, 2005 6:50 PM Subject: Re: (313) the orb on kompakt?? > > .. > > rite, but it took me years to discover Kompakt is actually not all that > bad;) everytime i was in Germany, been checking some of their records > [german record shops always seemed to have lots of Kompakt backstock, not > to mention their own shop in Cologne], yet nothing caught my attention > [was it wrong release, wrong time, wrong place or wrong me?] until > recently, and then thanks to MP3 & piracy. > > i really dig their two Mikkel Metal's rels, and i also find some of Closer > Musik and SCSI9 rather enjoyable. > > > havn't heard anything from the Orb since the famous cloud-song, i guess! > > > ///Z > > > > > FRED giannelli wrote: >> on 6/8/05 11:03 AM, J.T. at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: >> >> >>>>Yeah, that record is only OK.
