football rambles

....... and then we can get back to the football. Live session from the label's founder, Reinhard Voigt. It was recorded at Dry Rock in Naples in 2006. There is a double CD available here, but again it isn't my link: www.ponticelli.com/voigt.zip

This was the 8th release from Kompakt records and continues the Kompakt records special, that has temporarily moved the website away from being a football site, but don't worry there'll be plenty of football related stuff soon. Anyway, although it's 8 years old it still sounds great: Tracklisting: 1a Wolfgang Voigt Diskoschleifen 2000 A1 (Intro) (0:56) Written-By, Producer - Wolfgang Voigt 1b M:I:5 Maßstab 1:5 (4:17) Written-By, Producer - Wolfgang Voigt 2 Sensorama Star Escalator (5:42) Written-By, Producer - Jörn Elling Wuttke , Roman Flügel 3 Superpitcher Softmachine (5:13) Written-By, Producer - Aksel Schaufler 4 Freiland Rot (5:29) Written-By, Producer - Wolfgang Voigt 5 Eight Miles High In This Place (5:57) Written-By, Producer - Roman Flügel 6 Christian Morgenstern Gem Club Pt. 1 (6:49) Written-By, Producer - Christian Morgenstern 7 Thomas Gwosdz Reinaufwärts (5:21) Written-By, Producer - Thomas Gwosdz 8 Doppel Galoppm...

I seem to be going completly off topic this week, but as I like music a lot as well and I started off the mixtape and Kompakt records thread, it seems like a good idea to carry on with some other good stuff from Germany's greatest record label. Here's the track listing, which includes the fabulous Mexican artist known as Drugs Made Me Smarter, who I first came across on a net label. 1. Andrew Thomas - Groove 3 2. Tilman - Live Hood 3. b twisted - Tempo Injection 4. Lackluster - 111080702 (Tumbling along) 5. Audiossey - Songtitles Are Ridiculous 6. Craque - Licht 7. Kontrast - Vision and Tradition 8.

Not much live football apart from on TV tonight, so I am going to look at another record label that I have enjoyed in the past - Kompakt. I had a ton of Kompakt stuff on my hard drive before it broke and I aim to try and get some of it back and hopefully make a mix tape. Kompakt records were formed in 1989 and have a lot in common with the English label Warp. The Cologne based label, like Warp is famous for its minimal techno although it also represents other genres, it also works as a record store and distributor. The label, which is home of 'the Cologne Sound', was formed in 1989 by legendary techno artist Wolfgang Voigt, Jurgen Paape and Michael Mayer. It is also the parent label for 2 of Voigt's other project labels, Auftrieb and Profan. There is also the Kompakt Pop label, which despite its name is often the vehicle for the label's flagship acts like Gui Boratto, where as Kompakt tends to specialise in compilations, although the Orb have appeared on it
