chim Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 I always really liked his pop ambient stuff and konigsforst. Other artists that sound somewhat similar to Gas: - Ulf Lohmann / Because Before. This one's got the muddy sound of Gas in most of the tracks. Great album.

Capsaicin Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 (edited) Another (not Wolfgang Voigt) album with a similar Gas sound. This was actually recorded in the same year as first Gas album, but the CD never was released until ten years later.

Capsaicin Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 (edited) lol, I didn't even see your post. Sorry! It's a fantastic album though. Everything I've heard from Silentes has been good. Edited December 30, 2010 by Capsaicin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mellow U Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 As much as I hate spamming, I thought about it and I think the Gas-heads in this thread would possibly enjoy this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sdk8oYvUgic While not specifically sounding like Gas, I took a lot of influence from Gas when I made it. Think Gas meets Casino Versus Japan, strung out on nitrous in the tropics, and you're there. Also, worth noting that Henry Mancini's "Theme From A Summer Place" is sampled really prominently in that piece, but good luck trying to spot it! /spam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest schizobullet Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 For those who have listened to both, would you recommend the vinyl or CD version of Konigsforst? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SR4 Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 doesn't the vinyl demand ridiculous prices though? its better to just get the Nah Und Fern and download whatever isnt on there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mellow U Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 doesn't the vinyl demand ridiculous prices though? its better to just get the Nah Und Fern and download whatever isnt on there. Practically speaking, yes. However much of the ripped stuff circulating is poor/half-decent quality, so those of us who are a bit more fickle about audio are probably willing to fork over the ridiculous cash.

Capsaicin Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 Cheapest I can find Konigsforst for is around 50 dollars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mellow U Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 Considering I dropped $40 on Autechre's Garbage EP alone, I would absolutely get that for $50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mellow U Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 Considering I dropped $40 on Autechre's Garbage EP alone, I would absolutely get that for $50. wtf 50? im seeing everyone of his releases around 200 and up, USD. Exactly my point - considering the usual market for Gas vinyl, that $50 is either an extinct listing, extremely dinged up, or (if you're lucky) from a seller who has no idea what they have. Esp. since Konigsforst is considered by many to be one of the best albums! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
40days Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 (edited) I like the CD version more, but the LP version is not a bad bonus to have on top of that. I must admit though that I do not own the vinyl itself, I just have a rip of it. Listening to everything through my wireless headphones, though, is the best listening environment for me - but I'm not denying the vinyl experience from the artwork to the player needle.

Capsaicin Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 I listened to Zauberberg via slsk, instantly baleeted and sprung for Nah Und Fern from Forced Exposure because its ludicrous to not pay for that righteous collection.

SR4 Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 thats fucking awesome....such simple ideas make such great music OK, I'm not looking to be a copyist or anything but I stumbled onto something fun. Aphex only wishes the Analord binder could compare to this 3LP "Isle Of The Dead" by Rachmaninoff I found at a thrift store for $0.25. The records must be pressed lead; literally the heaviest 33 RPM discs I've ever held in my life. It's built just like a book with a bound spine and cardboard sheathes for the records. It was released in the 60's and the records and binders are in absolutely horrible condition...maybe the worst shape I've ever seen records in that could still be played. I used an old sacrificial stylus to encode them digitally just for the novelty of it. I revisited it tonight and now that I know Nah und Fern front to back, I was shocked by how much the beginning of the third movement sounded very Gas(sy) I selected out the intro and crafted a reverbed kick drum reminiscent of the Gas series to add. Except for the kick, the sample is completely untouched--everything you hear is the sum total of artifacts from a 45 year old trashed record. It's truncated for looping so Choose Your Own Gas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
