  1. Amazing boxset. It really is a fantastic soundworld Voigt lays out. Pop is to me the only that has a significantly different sound than the three other records. I consider Gas, Zauberberg and Königforst to be, in terms of soundworld, set in some deep, dark forest at night (on a LSD trip), Pop seems to be a lot more uplifting and sunny, so to speak.

    The artwork for the box is also amazingly fitting, and it's amazing to stare at the photos included whilst listening to the music. I'm glad that Voigt decided to change the original artwork for the first Gas record, which I consider to be one of the worst I've ever seen.

    If you haven't already bought it, then go buy right away. You most definitely won't regret it.

     

    Untitled II off the first record might just be some of the most entrancing music ever.

     

    Mr. Hasselbalch, I like your work and as you like this Gas boxset, I think I can't go wrong with it either.

  2. Hey thanks for all your replies!

    Knowing about all you guys' knowledge of - and love for - electronic music, I think you just made me go for it.

     

    I'm a bit cautious about statements like "It's electronic music history, so just get it". This is so subjective a matter, and even the Kraftwerk Katalog - which I got and which is definitely historical - isn't really something I listen to too much at all.

     

    Cheers again!

  3. I have quickly scanned the samples, and am not sure about this, but I read rave reviews everywhere. So is this really a historically important release to get (the box set) for a musician interested in ambient, drone, textural electronics?
