Kompakt 6
 

Two Discs. Two Words.
Wow und Wow. (that's three counting "und")

crunchy, funky, thick, nice nice trax that.

Anything else out there that can match the stamina of Mayer's labels? I'm basically impressed across the board with Kompakt.

crank!

I've only heard I built this city, and it is great. In fact I'll listen to it again right now :D

Re: Kompakt 6 wooohooaaaa
 

It is!!!

the track of baxendale is insane!!!!

Disc 1 is better for me than Disc 2.. but Ferenc in this last one, make it worth a lot.


I listen I Built this city, way too much. DANCE!

I'm totally digging Heartthrob's release "Time for Ensor" on Minus ATM. Here are some samples:

Time for Ensor

Glass Cat

Golum

Re: Kompakt 6
 

you people must listen to a different kompakt. i have been distinctly unimpressed with anything recent off kompakt except the orb releases

Re: Kompakt 6
 

I guess I'm just a sucker. Who knows?

The Orb has definitely resurfaced since his collaboration with Mayer's label that's fer dang sure. Esp. on Pop Ambient 2005 (am I remembering that correctly?)

Re: Kompakt 6
 

Pop Ambient 2003.

I think it's just that I buy all the lousy Kompakt releases. I went to see Michael Mayer and he played all good stuff (well, all the ladies dancing thought so).

Re: Kompakt 6
 

I saw Michael Mayer a while back and he definitely ripped it proper. Though as far as minimal DJs go I've got to give it up to Matthew Dear. He just came through New York again under the guise of Audion and tore it up. Definitely feelin it.

Should be interesting to see what Richie has in store this weekend. Last time I saw him I wasn't as keyed up about this minimal stuff as I am now.

Re: Kompakt 6
 

would be nice if he (mayer) made it down this way.

the closest thing i have to mayer live is a coupla sets I found around the web.

Re: Kompakt 6
 

then there's a new one - b/c on Pop Ambient 2005 it's got the Orb track "Falkenbruck" - not sure if it's an oldie or an new one though

Re: Kompakt 6
 

Falkenbruck was on the orb's "Komplott" which came out a month before pop ambient 2005.

there was a new orb 12" on kompakt in may.

Re: Kompakt 6
 

Thanks Joethelion!
That's the track i was thinking of. Return to Form ORB that one.
Fallenkenbruke (sic.)


crank!

Re: Kompakt 6
 

I really love "Masterblaster" by The Orb. For me it's THE example of electronic music. It's genious.

Re: Kompakt 6
 

for some reason i get an entirely different vibe off their kompakt stuff, even different from bicycles and tricycles. i wonder if it's more fehlmann in those cases.
