Please share your thoughts on this really terrific sounding electro group from Detroit. Props to Stevie D for bringing the album Gesamtkunstwerk to my attention.

Also: Arpanet, though Dopplereffekt have a better track record.

I remember hearing their track that went "I Want to be a porno star" back in 2001 and really finding it boring. What's their new stuff like?

Props to Klen@clone for his kick ass reissue work this year. Gesamkunstwerk and the Classic Cuts reissues are on fire right now. I guess this stuff isn't balearic enough for the ilm massif, tho.
I need to pick up the new Dopplereffekt record. How does it compare to the last Arpanet record?

i really liked "linear accelerator". listening to "calabi yau space" today, it's freaking me out.
why is dopplerffekt studying particle physics? what is dopplereffekt trying to accomplish? where are the drexicyans? what is their mysterious purpose? teleportation? time travel? intercourse with higher dimensions? is there truth to the rumor are they, in fact, attempting to contact the spirit of james stinson?

Detroit techno in a nutshell? ;)
Gesamkunstwerk is pretty great. You can't go wrong with any of the Clone Classic Cuts.

I'm currently obsessed with Linear Accelerator, specifically the tracks that sound like Goblin or John Carpenter. Should I dig further?

this one's the only one I've got on vinyl, it sounds like Goblin and John Carpenter

you should get calabi yau space if you want tracks that sound like john carpenter soundtracks. tinny synths playing frosty minor-key scales, barely any drums.
there's not much in the dopplereffekt catalog that sounds like goblin. early dopplereffekt sounds like "computer world"-era kraftwerk updated to match chicago house and detroit techno sensibilities. i like it, but it's not really filmic.
― moonship journey to baja, Wednesday, 28 May 2008 19:15 (sixteen years ago) link
oops I meant Z Boson. and those are on Linear Accelerator anyway. nevermind.
― dmr, Wednesday, 28 May 2008 19:17 (sixteen years ago) link
calabi yau space sounds like an album length version of z-boson
― moonship journey to baja, Wednesday, 28 May 2008 19:19 (sixteen years ago) link
That's pretty much exactly what I wanted to hear. That track is the jam! Thanks moonship

ooh ill actually be in nyc then, hm
so is dopplereffekt the other half of drexciya? (is it heresy to even be concerned with such matters?)

stevie, tbh, they sucked. kieran hebden blew em out of the water. they had no stage presence, and didn't really bang out much. i left with my friends feeling kinda :/

shit, really? I saw Four Tet once (on a side stage at like 2pm at some festival) and it was amazing. So he performed as himself and not Four Tet? Did he do laptop stuff or "IRL instruments" or both?
― Stevie D(eux), Saturday, 27 November 2010 20:53 (thirteen years ago) link
he was solo DJing, working four turntables (haha), two with Serato and two with regular vinyl, as far as i could tell.

Listening to Linear Accelerator again tonight, been a while. But fuck me if this record is not in my all-time top ten.
Anyone know what they are up to? If they are up to anything at all?

To answer my own question up here: first EP in six years is due!
