The one and only Kreisel 99 thread

Here's a playlist that was put together recently (didn't feel like merely loading up all 102 tracks). Avoided most of the hard acid tracks -- most likely due to my mood at the time. Second and third volumes, if I get around to them, will be just as strong as this one. Don't know how many of these tracks were originally on New Transatlantic or Auftrieb or whatever (must be a couple, at least).

01 M. Mayer - Twin Peaks
02 Miller + Fehlmann - Tuned
03 Split - We Love You
04 Lovecore - Swingerclub (Remix)
05 Grungerman - Fackeln Im Sturm
06 Crocker - Indulto
07 M:I:5 - Logorrhoe 4
08 Riss - Rissko Acid Catch
09 Sweet Reinhard - Kultur
10 Auftrieb - Wild Wild West
11 J. Burger - Blue Belle
12 Mike Ink - Mirage

I meant 104 tracks

Of the tracks above I've only heard "Twin Peaks" and "Fackeln Im Sturn". Have hardly heard any of the other Kreisel 99 tracks, although I have Burger's "Sascha The Flower Thief" from his Burger Industries album on Structure from 92/93!

Actually excepting the couple of really fast proto-gabba/minimal tech tracks, that album could easily be Speicher material. But I think "Sascha..." is probably the most proto-Modernist track on there, shimmering acid trance in a softer vein to the rest.

I really want to hear Madonna 303's "Lucky Star" and "More Than Sex Can Say"!

Lucky Star will/would be on the second volume, as would one of the tracks off the Koehncke/Dorau single. Unsurprisingly the pop-oriented parts of the series are some of my favorites.

My knowledge of early Burger is real spotty (must change this). "Blue Belle" is really warm electro-techno (almost mid '90s Kenny Larkin?) -- like a dry run for the beat-oriented Triola tracks, in a sense.

Reinhard Voigt's "Be Free with your Love" (the A side, anyway) samples a Police song ("Message in a Bottle"?) and makes it listenable . . .

"Fackelm Im Sturn" is really just fantastic isn't it? It lays down so many core Kompakt ideas: schaffel, eerie female German vocals, vaporous atmosphere drone. Is this the prototype/archetype Kompakt track? And it's from 97!

What are the other tracks you listed like Andy?

I don't remember.

That "I'm blue da-dee-da-dooo-da-dee-da-dee-da-dee-dah" track is classic.
