Blogovision 2018: Στο #4 του Γεράσιμου ο Gas και το Rausch!



The option is there for you to own Rausch, Wolfgang Voigt’s sixth full-length recorded under the name GAS, on vinyl. The hour-long suite of ambient and experimental electronic music is spread out over two LPs on the recent release from his long-time label Kompakt. Great as it may sound, breaking this music up in any way will only diminish its overall impact, breaking its spell for short stretches, just as you’re about to reach nirvana.
Heard as one unedited gush, Rausch is a thing of wonder. The experience, especially played through headphones or a great pair of speakers, is overpowering to the point of overload. Voigt starts off slow, with string and horn drones swarming together in a Ligeti-like sunrise. As it moves forward, more sounds and the 4/4 pulse of a kick drum come into view. They don’t necessarily complement what Voigt has set up. They instead move around the edges like counter-rhythms or little intrusions that refuse to let up. (pastemagazine.com)

Blogovision 2018: Στο #18 μου ambient techno από την Κολωνία


Ένα κομμάτι διάρκειας 60:13 λεπτών ''κομμένο'' καθαρά για λόγους πλοήγησης σε επτά (7) άτιτλα κομμάτια.Υπνωτική, αυτοσαρκαστική techno που περιμένεις να ξεσπάσει και δεν το κάνει ποτέ κρατώντας το για το επόμενο και το επόμενο και το επόμενο. Κάτι σαν την Μέθη, αυτό σημαίνει RAUSCH, και αυτός είναι ο τίτλος του έκτου άλμπουμ του GAS. 


Το RAUSCH ανακάλυψα ακολουθώντας τον GAS στο Spotify.

Blogovision 2017: Στο #10 μου o Wolfgang Voigt και 11 άτιτλα Ambient Techno


Voigt cites his youthful LSD experiences in the Königsforst, a German forest situated near his hometown of Köln and he has claimed that the intention of the project is to bring the forest to the disco, or vice-versa. Voigt is known for his numerous, nearly inexhaustible list of one-off projects, of these, his best known is arguably Gas, a project that saw the marriage of ambient music and 4/4 techno. Other names under which Voigt has released include, but are not limited to, All, Auftrieb, Brom. Decker, Centrifugal Force, Crocker, Dextro NRG, Dieter Gorny, Digital, Dom, Doppel, Filter, Freiland, Fuchsbau, Gelb, Grungerman, Kafkatrax, Love Inc. M, I,5, Mike Ink, Mint, Panthel, Popacid, Riss, RX7, strass, Studio 1, Tal, Vinyl Countdown, W. V. In 2008, Voigts own label Kompakt re-released all four of his Gas albums, albeit with changes made to the tracks. A limited double vinyl version of the set was also released, in 2016, Kompakt reissued Zauberberg, Konigsforst, Oktember and Pop as a 10-LP box set called Box, again editing or expanding many of the tracks. Voigt has intermittently revived the project for remixes and will release a new Gas album entitled Narkopop on April 21,2017, Gas is the most abstract of Voigts many projects, with each album consisting of several long tracks of dense, hypnotic, atmospheric sound. Occasionally a song will just drift on its own ambience, indeed, most of the time there is no clear musical progression in a Gas track, as Voigt seems to be more interested in exploring depth of the stereo field, utilizing subtle shifts in sound. Because music under the Gas alias lacks any trace of orthodox melody or chord change many would not describe it as musical. However, the sources of Voigts samples are often of musical origin, encapsulating old pop record stuff as well as classical music such as Richard Wagner, critics have described Gas music as similar to hearing a band playing very far away, under water, or from behind walls. His live performances, which he performs using MIDI controls and Ableton Live, barring the Modern and Oktember releases, all Gas tracks are untitled.
