What did/do you make of his Please Please Please mix? Some atop top stuff on there IMO.

I emailed Kompakt to say that if they didn't release a Tobias Thomas mix this year, their 20th anniversary celebrations had no credibility.

incidentally, the Triola album is really hitting the spot right now. Such warm stuff.

Cologne Tape's Render was the first release on the Magazine label. It sounds pretty serious / traditional Kraut rock to my ears, a nice EP. My favourite track is 'Render 4' which reminds me of Ada's Forty Winks.

Looks like there's two volumes of pop ambient this year. No triola / j burger track included for the first time, I think.

This is ok. The Dave DK EP is great though, Ulrich Schnauss and Isolée both in good form.

i dig it. i don't know weval. i would buy their new album. will check out dave dk ep.

okay, isolee wins that round. schnauss mix a little too syrupy for me.

might have to re-think my whole "i don't need kompakt on vinyl because the CDs sound so amazing" thing....
― scott seward, Monday, 13 June 2016 16:54 (eight years ago) link
it was cheap on discogs.
dude so much kompakt is vinyl only, get crackin!
― brimstead, Monday, 13 June 2016 20:02 (eight years ago) link
doesn't everything eventually get turned into a Total comp or whatever?
― scott seward, Monday, 13 June 2016 20:17 (eight years ago) link
i'm too old to start buying new 12 inches. i'd never listen to them. or i'd listen to them once.
― scott seward, Monday, 13 June 2016 20:18 (eight years ago) link
CD comps kinda perfect for my active lifestyle.
― scott seward, Monday, 13 June 2016 20:19 (eight years ago) link
i'd say half or less ends up on Total comps (which contain mucho exclusive tracks.. so yeah might as well stick with CDs)
at least buy this, you need the superpitcher remix

i have listened to kompakt on spotify on PS4 before while playing my beloved Resogun. but i can't take too much Spotify sound. makes me cagey.
― scott seward, Monday, 13 June 2016 21:04 (eight years ago) link
i am currently the 20th greatest Resogun:Demolition player in the world by the way.

Made myself a couple of "German" CDs for a holiday - To Rococco Rot, Tarwater, Mouse on Mars, a few tracks from the Dial label and lot of Kompakt. Had forgotten how much joy mid-noughties Kompakt brought me. Must have a catch-up ...
― djh, Saturday, 17 September 2016 19:35 (eight years ago) link
autumn + kompakt = perfection.
i really enjoyed the hunter_game album.
the weval one though didn't really do much for me.

There's a Michael Mayer collaboration album coming out on XL shortly
― Michael F Gill, Saturday, 17 September 2016 20:37 (eight years ago) link
Yeah, had seen an email from !K7 about that. Features collaborations on every track including Roman Flugel, Prins Thomas, Barnt and one each from Hot Chip and Friendly Fires.
Will probably (re)start with Total 16 and see where that sends me.
Mind you, I'm also tempted to make a home made edition of that RSD Superpitcher compilation, too.
― djh, Saturday, 17 September 2016 21:05 (eight years ago) link
The Mayer album is very mixed; each track stands up or falls over based on who the collaborator is.
― Don Van Gorp, midwest regional VP, marketing (誤訳侮辱), Saturday, 17 September 2016 21:53 (eight years ago) link
Has anyone heard TOTAL 16 yet? It's on Spotify I was listening to it yesterday and there wasn't anything that really caught my attention but there wasn't anything that I found annoying. It sounded pretty good and cohesive to my ears... will need to give it more listens to see what sticks but at first listen it might be one of their better years.

Loving Clarian's Ankh EP. The title track feels more trance than the music suggests with the Logan's Run sample. Like a cross between Balearic Incarnation and My Name is Barbarella..

could this be the first kompakt 'new' album in years that i don't buy?heard it today a couple of times, and i really am not sure about it.

sitting somewhere close to acts like Ween and Junior Boys
does not sound promising
― brimstead, Thursday, 22 March 2018 21:09 (six years ago) link
exactly.also, 12 tracks in 36 mins.i.e. a lot of throwaway crap.
― mark e, Thursday, 22 March 2018 21:13 (six years ago) link
thankfully I did not read the RA review of the new Gui Boratto album before I heard it.I ordered it to make an amazon order over the requirements for free delivery.turns out that the album is crap according to RA.I beg to differ.yeah, it's not cool, nor cutting edge.it is however, a very enjoyable electronica album.in fact, I have decided to listen to this as a synthwave album. there are a lot of sonic crossovers in the use of sounds and vocals, which is probably why I am enjoying it so much.
― mark e, Thursday, 16 August 2018 20:28 (six years ago) link
It's perfectly fine. Just like the John Tejada album which RA gave an average review to.
― mmmm, Thursday, 16 August 2018 21:20 (six years ago) link
how dare KOMPAKT release an album that sounds like a KOMPAKT album.
