Legowelt - The Paranormal Soul

[Herr Jan]

i was wondering what happened with him (he's been quiet for too long). this particular (new?) sound isn't to my liking so i might pass on this one. i really hope he continues the fake soundtracks he was doing though

 

Quiet for too long? This year he released under Chicago Shags, Trackman Lafonte & Bon Qui Qui (2 EP's), Legowelt (1 EP if you don't include the whole vinyl release of the TEAC Life this year), a few remixes for Xosar and 5 other artists, and is posting new tracks at least once per 2 weeks on his site/soundcloud under his own alias or under Xamiga (collab with Xosar). Besides that he has posted 5 or 6 really cool mixes (like the FACT mix, Memphis Rap Mix, and a few more). On top of that, this 2LP album is just announced and a release with Xamiga is also coming up. And he has been touring everywhere last few months, making videoclips along the way. I'd say that's quite a productive year

 

Those samples sound like I'm going to pre-order this asap!

 

Amd about the TEAC Life vinyl: it's reaally worth it, besides the AFX - Chosen Lord's style recycled cardboard holder it's in.

Clone shop is selling a sampler right now with a 12 inch cut of Rave Till Dawn and two "vinyl exclusives" on the B side.

 

Those might be two tracks that will also come on the bonus 10 inch with the first 1000 2x12"s but I'm not sure.

I was just about to post the exact same thing here. I´ll contact Clone and see what´s up, those exclusive tracks sound like I have to buy buy buy it.

[psn]

It sounds so fucking great!

And reaction from Clone:

 

"No... There are 2 excl tracks on this one that won't be on the album."

 

edit: ordered it with some more Xosar 12"'s next to it. They are both on fire.

pft- that's what you call productive? i call it a lazy bones

[Herr Jan]

I think you're confusing Danny Wolfers with BoC . Oh, since I've typed that, he released a self made sample kit (the second this year), a remix for "and the beat goes on" ( http://soundcloud.com/legowelt-official/and-the-beat-goes-on-whispers ), 3 totally new tracks on his website ánd this clip has just been posted.

 

 

 

What is your opinion on this? Will be released on another planned EP, this man is unstoppable.

So the 10 inch will have different bonus stuff?

 

Well I reserved one of these anyway but won't finish that order until the album is out, shipping is a bitch.

[Herr Jan]

I asked if the tracks on the sampler were the same as the 10", and it's a clear "no" so let's hope not!

 

Wait, you can reserve items on the clone website? How do you do that?

[manmower]

http://clone.nl/help.html on the bottom under "How to combine orders".

[psn]

Has anyone seen the 12" maxi single for sale other places than Clone? Their shipping prices are out of my league.

[manmower]

Godspill has them in stock... They are Dutch as well though, so I don't know if shipping will be any better for you.

[manmower]

The full album can now be pre-listened here.

 

According to that listing, the 10 inch bonus tracks are two tracks that were already on the Soundcloud teaser, wonder whether they'll be on the CD release or not.

[goDel]

That's a must-buy!

 

Apart from the artwork though. He must be inspired by the tasteless designs of rephlex albums. yegh

[awesomeperson]

Elements of Houz Music is a brilliant track but then there's the typical Legowelt half-assed, negrophilia track and other rubbish that compose most of the record.

[logakght]

I agree with Mr. Vasio. Elements of Houz Music is insanely neat. But there are some quite good tracks in it also.

[dr lopez]

Swear I haven't listened to this album until now, sounds like I know all the tracks. Not sure if it's cause I saw him twice this summer or that every track sounds like every other legowelt track

 

which isn't always a bad thing

[vamos scorcho]

I know next to nothing about Legowelt other than that people I respect like him. I've tried listening to a random album here and there, sounded a ton like (a stricter...harder...colder... ah fuck it, whiter) Drexciya. Where would be a good place to start? this album?

[awesomeperson]

Depends what you're into to, I like the soundtrack and disco much more than the ghetto, vatos, chicago stuff.

[Guest milorad]

[psn]

Fern wizard.

[dr lopez]

if you like it you can donate some $ or Euros, Any donation small or large is appreciated u can paypal to:

 

wolfers@xs4all.nl or click the link below so I can buy more crap synthesizers to make stuff like this and repair my Roland Juno 106 which stopped

 

working during the recording of this album...probably cause this shit is tooo deep and it just couldn't handle it....

 

 

doesnt matter, the bottom line question is CAN U HANDLE IT???

 

lol i love danny this is from teac life but still makes me lol

[manmower]

Clone are selling the CD version now. And it seems to have all of the tracks (incl. To The Homeland and A Cold Winter's Day) that will be on the 2 x 12" + bonus 10".

 

So the CD + the vinyl sampler with the two exclusives should get you everything.
