{"product_id":"gas-november-89-lp-dl","title":"GAS - November 89 (LP+DL)","description":"\u003cp\u003eFinally, Kompakt issue a true GAS outlier on vinyl for the first time, recorded in 1989 and containing some of Wolfgang Voigt’s earliest and starkest recycling of magisterial Wagner loops, closest to the ends of The Caretaker, Philip Jeck, Kevin Drumm.\n\nOne of those releases that has lurked on our shelves since 2008 as a book and CD, ‘November 89’ exists in the margins of Wolfgang Voigt’s GAS canon as its creepiest and most occluded evocation of long walks in the Bavarian forests. While other GAS classics ooze a sort of dappled warmth breaking thru the trees in their widescreen dub techno strolls, you can fully feel the light dying over the horizon and the forest drawing in on this particularly gloomy, hour-long suite. \n\nAs the title suggests, it was mostly, remarkably, made in ’89, back when Voigt was finding his feet between techno, house and indie-pop, and nearly a decade before he co-founded Kompakt with Michael Mayer \u0026 Jürgen Paape - by which time he was a full-fledged rave dynamo as Love Inc. and myriad others notable projects. And, in that sense, it can be heard as his ‘Selected Ambient Works 89-95’ - or perhaps more pertinently with SAW II vibes - in his nascent attempt to chase the ambient dragon, which surely endures for its strangely nostalgic, unheimlich qualities.\n\nAn educated guess leads us to think the first three were made in ’89, taking in the nightfall scenery of smudged symphonic strings and icy crackle to ‘Der Wald’, plus the muddied bass waltz and spectral pall of ‘Das Moor’, thru the self-evidently titled centrepiece ‘1989-11-01’, bristling with a digitally iridescent dread. ‘Tal 90’ and ‘Nah Und Fern’, which shares its title with the 2008 boxset, were most likely made a little later, and find the wintry doom thawing to the GAS-eous forms we’ve all come to deeply know and adore. \n\nA true evergreen for deep ambient techno connoisseurs, no less\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ciframe style=\"border: 0; width: 350px; height: 340px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=2882568759\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=333333\/artwork=none\/transparent=true\/\" seamless\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/kompakt-gas.bandcamp.com\/album\/november-89\"\u003eNovember 89 GAS\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e","brand":"Kompakt","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49252367171843,"sku":"Kompakt505","price":4886.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0285\/1694\/1956\/files\/a3415210046_10.jpg?v=1783772342","url":"https:\/\/meditations.jp\/en\/products\/gas-november-89-lp-dl","provider":"Meditations","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
