I listened to this the other day and it was good, but I think I prefer Fabric 13.

I have no idea why it need to be a sequel mix. As if MM hadn't put out other mixes in between (although correct me if these were Kompakt only mixes or something of the sort).

I think Fabric 13 still is better than Immer, which while it has that perfect track selection that flows perfectly from one another, Fabric has some of the most character I've ever heard in a mix. Admittedly I could give a shit for Michael Mayer's mixing, but he has this rare ability to weave a story out of a mix (which I think he does a bit less in Immer)

Also went back to both recently (spurred, if anyone cares, by hearing "Saturndays" on the Junior Boys body language mix, then wanting better Mayer stuff). I love the first half of the Fabric mix, but find that it drops off badly. Whereas the first half of Immer feels like a slow build towards a fantastic second half.

we are
perfect lovers
beside the fact
that we're not there

and i think it is alright
that we are only seen by night!!!!!!

was listening to this on headphones yesterday. are there any other akufen trax as dope as psychometry?

quebec nightclub!

Selway - Flying Far is so incredibly good in this thing.

yeah that's my favourite.

Immer 3 is coming out this summer

Tracklist:
1. Courtney Tidwell – Don’t Let the Stars Keep Us Tangled Up (Ewan Pearson’s Ambient Mix)
2. Closer Musik – Departures
3. Ben Watt – Guinea Pig (DJ Koze Remix)
4. Tim Paris – Edges of Corrosion
5. Smith N Hack – Falling Stars
6. Raudive – Slave
7. Massive Attack – Paradise Circus (Gui Boratto Remix)
8. Popnoname – Hello Gorgeous (Terranova Remix)
9. Charlotte Gainsbourg – The Operation (Superpitcher Remix)
10. Culoe de Song – The Bright Forest
11. Kinky Justice – New Day

ooh, love "falling stars"

Charlotte Gainsbourg – The Operation (Superpitcher Remix) - This is so good. As heard on Tobias Thomas' Speaking In Tongues mix. Falling Stars is also amazing. Justus Köhncke's version of New Day is cool. A lot of these tracks have been around a while.

Should I have listened to Immer 2?

yes! i love it about as much as the orig

first 2 songs are probably my favorite songs ever, i'm interested in how he mixes them.

I miss closer Musik. And Departures is one of my favorites. I hope this mix is as romantic as the first one.

yeah a bunch of not-new tracks here huh?

6. Raudive – Slave

this is that grace jones sampling track......'romantic' def isn't the word

re: using old tracks

‘Immer’ means ‘always’ in German, and fittingly the mix series has always been anchored in tracks that, for Mayer, have a certain timelessness, with less emphasis on the new and untested.

miss the immer label tbh. how sick was that benjamin diamond/connective zone split?

last track must be that justus kohncke cover of 'new day' by round two/basic channel that i heard about a while back

this looks great!

Ben Watt – Guinea Pig (DJ Koze Remix)

This is one of my absolute favourite DJ Koze remixes (probably my favourite in fact) and is perfect for an Immer mix.

Mayer using old tracks seems sensible as well in that this overall style is generally "outmoded" now.

This looks perfect, just the right thing if he's going to do another mix in the series.

Culoe de Song – The Bright Forest

Fan of this ever since his RA podcast.

Kinky Justice track was on Myspace a while back

So hyped for this

Immer = Always = Classic tracks. I never made that connection before!

Mayer = Always Classic too. Really looking forward to Immer 3.

Anyone able to ID any of these tracks i've cut from an '05 Mayer set?

the second track is the b-side of http://www.discogs.com/DJ-Koze-AKA-Monaco-Schranze-Gebr-Teichmann-Speicher-25/release/365614

Some great tracks in this 2002 Mayer set: Love Family Park

the last track on micarl's link is this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_yDfY8CVFU

Tracklist looks amazing. Is there an official release date for this one?

8th June

Have been rather enjoying this, even minus the Massive Attack track (not on the digital release for rights reasons, apparently).

His set from his recent Sunday Best NYC is posted on their website, was skimming through it and it sounded interesting, should one be interested.

this should work http://www.sundaybestnyc.com/

iTunes UK pricing error means you can currently pick up the continuous mix for 79p if anybody is interested

So so so so so tempted...even though I've got it coming in the post on CD tomorrow...

Just gave in. Cheers for the heads up!

Heh, I've got the cd coming in the post too but that could be a couple of days yet!

What is, like, the IMMER of 2012? I need a new mix

going back to immer apropos of nothing and it sounds better than ever.

Actually just listened to this yesterday. Still an A+ mix, still one of my all-time favorites.

blech romantic sentimental ambient music

j/k this is a good mix but i prefer the sprockets

speichers, not sprockets

haha, as I was posting that, I was anticipating some push back from you

pure jokes

Mayer DJ-Kicks in May: https://www.residentadvisor.net/news.aspx?id=38629
Tracklist looks great, headwear not so much (Roísín Murphy's the only one who can pull off something like that and look graceful (as it reminded me of her Overpowered cover photo))

OMG the DJ-Kicks is so great, it gets into the peak time fluffy ecstasy pop zone early on and just stays there.

the alter ego track on this is pure filth
