Bleep

Zauberberg

Originally released in 1997, Zauberberg lay the foundations for what would come to characterise the GAS project, submerged kick drums buried in the foliage of carefully orchestrated dub heavy atmospheres. Zauberberg is the darkest chapter within the GAS story, its foggy atmosphere carefully disguising an underlying feeling of danger as you journey deeper into the forest.

Pop

Pop, the iconic 2000 LP from Wolfgang Voigt’s GAS project, gets a triple-vinyl reissue courtesy of Kompakt. This valium-hazed set of ultra-dubbed-out techno still sounds fantastic almost two decades on from its original release. On Pop, Voigt pushes Jan Jelinek’s micro-house sound into a whole other realm, washing it with delay and reverb until it dissolves into lush, humid atmospheres. Sometimes they are wed to beats, but on many of the tracks here these weightless ambiences are just left to hang in the air. Recent work by everyone from Rainforest Spiritual Enslavement to Ian William Craig to Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds bears the influence of Pop.

Rausch

Having taken just shy of a 20 year breather between Pop and last year's fabulous Narkopop, Wolfgang Voigt has clearly entered a new phase of influence as Rausch not only sees him channelling an entirely new session of killer material, Rausch also finds GAS moving deeper into the lagoons of darkness that have only previously been hinted at within his muted, repetitious sound-world.
