Bleep

A truly outstanding canon of work Wolfgang Voigt (AKA GAS, AKA Kompakt founder) drew together his almost- entire discography into this, the essential re-issue of 2008 by a Wagnerian mile. Through 4 discs you are invited to spend time in-the rural techno dream-scape and if you’re remotely interested in the electronic/classical/experimental lineage prepare to be enthralled. Like nothing else on the sonic map, Voigt's work is at once Lynchian and lovely, macabre and murky, dripping with the sonic dew of the forest floor. Transmuted classical samples emerge from the haze and a dense kick-pulse hangs the majesty together with a grandeur that has rarely been matched in modern music. Astounding.
