    GAS is neither good nor bad. GAS simply...is.

    this is it. GAS is isn't music. GAS is a concept, a series of objects to be admired from various angles. GAS isn't music about a forest, it is the forest. i'm glad someone else besides me and voigt gets it. i have been lost in GAS. because GAS lends itself to being lost in.

     

    >can someone ID the classical samples used in that Zauberberg track?

    there's definitely wagner. that's all i'm allowed to say lol.

     

     

    High five! Yeah, I've spent literally months out of the year with any one of the four LPs on endless repeat in my bedroom. There's simply nothing else like that in my record collection, besides maybe Selected Ambient Works II - music that sounds as if it is outside of time and space. Like really truly alien and self-aware. Even the kickdrums eventually sound more like hearing the heartbeat of some gigantic organism from inside its womb.

  2. Considering what you'd pay for one of the original vinyl versions, the price seems more than reasonable to me.

     

    Also, as someone who followed the band very obsessively for years through live recordings, demos and near impossible to find rarities, the bonus materials on the reissues is meant more for people like me.Getting master/studio quality recordings of things that have been fan favorites in the bootleg community for over a decade couldn't be more exciting!

  3. While not strictly music from a video game, I thought it relevant to mention here that I've just completed an album of dub techno tracks using only the menu and bootup screen sounds from my Dreamcast for everything in said tracks except the drum machines. Should be released for free within the year, with a bunch of fun remixes to follow.

     

    Me remix, yes!

     

    For sure! Expect a PM once I assemble the sample packs.

  5. First off, thanks to the OP for mentioning my soundtrack - that's awesome!

     

    For anyone who wants to hear it in full (or buy it, even) you can check it out here:

    Funnily enough I had Eufloria developer Alex May leave a lovely comment about our music on the cubus guestbook a few months ago. He obviously is a fan of droney ambient ways ...

     

    That is funny, although not surprising. Alex is a wonderful guy with great taste!

  6. Just picked up the following over the last few weeks (although the first wasn't a purchase, but a trade) -

     

    Hakobune - Recalling My Insubstantial Thoughts

    Foo Fighters - Foo Fighters

    The Dirtbombs - Party Store

    Seefeel - (CH-Vox)

    Sleeparchive - Papercup

    Porter Ricks - Biokinetics (The blue one since Best Buy fucked up my order for the black)

    Aphex Twin - SAW II (Sire Reissue)

    DeepChord - Grandbend

    µ-Ziq - Salsa With Mesquite

    AFX - Analogue Bubblebath Vol. 4

    Automatic Tasty - Strange Terrain

    Automatic Tasty - Fieldwork

     

    Also, got blown away by the two Andy Stotts on Modern Love from last year, a bit too late for the vinyl, and picked up the 2CD expanded reissue. Very into that!

  7. they're not speaking very abstractly in any other part of the interview so why would they suddenly say-one-thing-but-mean-another?

     

    Thus is the nature of AE!
