Kruder & Dorfmeister - 1995

[zero 819]

I know this was first mentioned by @jules in the K&D sessions thread, but figured this deserved its own thread.

They are doing a virtual album release tonight (7pm EST)

really digging this a lot. I have such a soft spot for these guys. Was supposed to see them in NYC last October. Really bummed about that one getting cancelled.

[zero 819]

been listening this morning to it. definitely no surprises here, this sounds exactly as I thought it would. 

agreed about a soft spot for them and this type of music. K&D Sessions and their DJ-Kicks were found pretty much everywhere in the late '90s. lots of good hazy memories from back then hanging out at various apartments listening to downtempo/trip-hop/whatever you want to call it stuff.

I don't wake n' bake anymore, but if I did this would be the perfect album for it...

[dr lopez 977]

yes!

they're looking good these days too damn

[ARPA 351]

Love it, too bad it's not on bandcamp 😞

[dr lopez 977]

this rules

[jules 960]

yea, I have had it on a loop since Friday. No surprises at all but damn good!

[dr lopez 977]

WYSIWYG is nice sometimes 

[jules 960]

Here is the audio for that show they did in Brussels last year. It's absolutely fantastic...

Perhaps I may have missed it (tho I looked darn hard) - is there a place where one can exchange money for just the digital vinyls?  Or did y'all splurge on those sexy sold-out box sets? Spotify? ??

Really stoked to hear this - quote from the magneticmag review sums up me feels nicely:

Quote

After discovering a box of DATS (Digital Audio Tapes) in their old G-Stone studio (or so the story goes), the duo reunited and decided to release a new recording. The origin story here seems a little heavy-handed, but we will forgive them because it's Kruder and fucking Dorfmeister. Was this a lost album recovered from dusty tapes, or is that a metaphor? Who cares - it's here.

I splurged on the K&D Sessions LPs a bit ago - so I just bought this one on itunes. It is on Spotify as well. I am regretting not getting the vinyl of this one but may do it soon. I think you get the digitals from their store if your order physical.

@BobDobalina guys wondering about who's treasure trail that is are exactly the kinds of guys who splurge on the 200 euro collector's edition box set...c'mon man, you know you want it.

[BobDobalina 313]

Thanks @jules, I don't have either spotify or iTunes, though the missus can get it for me through the latter if it comes to it.  Did a search after seeing as Discogs sez that it was released as flacs, seems its only on Juno and it's $20, which seems a bit steep, but then again I'm a cheap mofo

Flol. I would however totally buy a Suzuki bathrobe if they did a repress (reknit?) of that

[Adamovich 196]

Spitze album!

Don Gil Dub on repeat!

[hayhook 149]

This is tight. 

[Extralife 1164]

You guys are getting old. 
 

There is no way a K&D album release would have been tolerated here in ‘03.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(...this is actually pretty good.)

dunno if you were here back in '03, but that's not saying much. it was mostly the wild west of immaturity back then. ms paint drawings of feces, tranny dicks, ye-ye pumpkins and the like...

Yeah I don't get that quote either

I see no discrepancy between listening to downtempo music like K&D since 90s and being a watmmer at the same time...

Yeah not to pile on but I fully agree... and if memory serves me correctly it was mostly breakcore that was watmm's whipping bwoy back then; that is, until the wubwubwubs of dubstep came along and kicked those juicy snare rushes out their seats.
