If I had my druthers, they'd both kill each other off.

Tosca's Suzuki is the one thing between them that really grabbed me, so whichever meister birthed that bundle.

― Curt, Monday, 11 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Richard is the man - the Tosca projects far outweigh Peace Orchestra, and individual remixes, etc. of Pete.

Voom:Voom was pretty though.

― mdieter, Monday, 11 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Peace Orchestra by a long way (and 'Meister Petz' on that album probably is the best thing they ever did). So Kruder. Tosca is okay, but 'Suzuki' is one of those mindblowing-at-first-listen-and-then-not- so-impressive albums.

― Omar, Monday, 11 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

not a big fan, but the peace orchestra track i heard was pretty good

― gareth, Monday, 11 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

"Suzuki"'s consistancy can begin to work against it, but tracks like 'Orozco' never fail to charm me. The Peace Orchestra is nice and neatly summed up in a single album (with that bandaid cover) but it gets realllllly slooowwww at moments. I suppose that's the point, though. I'd probably go with Tosca if I had to choose.

― Honda, Monday, 11 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

"Suzuki" would be a delightful soundtrack to my next wine and cheese party. Actually, I never have wine and cheese parties. The "K&D Sessions" still gets play at my house, but "Suziki" is far too bland for my taste. It is admittedly inoffensive, but I look for a lot more in music than merely inoffensive. I traded it away.

― Sean, Monday, 11 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

K & D Sessions is hardly a cheesecart upsetter. I like it, too.

― Curt, Monday, 11 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

not a fan but peace orchestra is fab. dick dorfmaster therefore gets the vote.

― stirmonster, Monday, 11 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

or should that be cruder?

― stirmonster, Monday, 11 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Another vote for them both. K&D Sessions was pretty sweet, if only for that great "Useless" DM remix on disc 1.

― geeta, Tuesday, 12 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I discovered K&D on the HACKERS sountrack therefore I was the first guy on my block to buy "SESSIONS".....it was the swankest CD case I had ever seen, every scratch I got on the cardboard was like a dagger thru the heart.....i smoked out all my friends to this all the time......this was in my big "downbeat" phase (downbeat and electronic music in general is musical middleground for culturally narrow simpleton assholes....not a commentary on the musical merit of either genre, mind you.....new thread on this coming soon).....so everyone went out and bought it......I was afraid people would forget I was the first one to have it, so then I reversed my policy and welcomed and encouraged new scratches on the cardboard....."dude, by K&D case is just worked now....it figures, I've had it for like a year".....what a fag I was.

Tosca's "opera" was the biggest waste of money I ever wasted money on. DJ kicks was phat. oh snap this is a vs. thread right? in the looks dept., they are equally amusing....one is a nazi looking nigga, one is balding prematurely....therefore, tie.

― Ramosi, Tuesday, 12 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

O yeah geeta, that remix is the hot.....the instant the vocals cut out and the bass rolls kick in and begin to massage your back....when I am old i'll use this instaed of Metamucil

― Ramosi, Tuesday, 12 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

my longer post is a little confusing.....I don't mean people that like downbeat and electronic and culturally narrow assholes, but that a lot of culturally narrow assholes I know like downbeat and electronic because it straddles but doesnt cross that unspoken color line....they hate triphop but hate hiphop....or they like beats with "flossy" sounding spanish guitar but not guitar stuff that sounds "too honky" ..... oh forget it, I need new friends.

― Ramosi, Tuesday, 12 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

and = are.

Yeah, it's that easy.

― Ramosi, Tuesday, 12 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

they LIKE triphop but hate hiphop.

I'm on fire

― Ramosi, Tuesday, 12 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

five years pass...

these guys

haven't gotten any ILM love since 2002?

― cutty, Tuesday, 12 February 2008 01:35 (eighteen years ago)

those mellow austrians!

― omar little, Tuesday, 12 February 2008 01:35 (eighteen years ago)

"suzuki"!!

― cutty, Tuesday, 12 February 2008 01:35 (eighteen years ago)

or they like beats with "flossy" sounding spanish guitar

which is so hottt right now

― cutty, Tuesday, 12 February 2008 01:38 (eighteen years ago)

i like the k&d sessions to a degree. good lamb, david holmes, and depeche mode remixes. i think they take a lot of flak for supposedly pioneering a style that was watered-down a lot by followers.

― omar little, Tuesday, 12 February 2008 01:41 (eighteen years ago)

Their version of 'downtempo' or whatever is a lot more atmospheric and textured than most of the genre, yeah.

I still play Sessions a fair bit - it's far better than anything the released individually. Peace Orchestra has some nice ideas, but the production is kind of thin and sloppy. The Tosca releases I've heard have almost the opposite problem - well put-together but a tad insubstantial.

― chap, Tuesday, 12 February 2008 02:40 (eighteen years ago)

dorfmeister's a homo

― burt_stanton, Tuesday, 12 February 2008 02:43 (eighteen years ago)

and you're a jerk

― rockapads, Tuesday, 12 February 2008 03:34 (eighteen years ago)

Their DJ Kicks mix still gets the occasional spin. Love the colossal bassline on that Statick Sound System track (which then sugues very nicely into JMJ & Flytronix).

In fact the whole mix brings back fine memories of driving around the fjords of Norway. Not a bad soundtrack at all.

― sam500, Tuesday, 12 February 2008 04:13 (eighteen years ago)

five months pass...

For what it is, K&D Sessions has turned out to be a classic. No one did their thing any better - only thing is, you only need so much of their thing in your life.

― Mark Rich@rdson, Thursday, 17 July 2008 04:49 (seventeen years ago)

I agree, it's been my default comedown album for about eight years now. I've dabbled in artists who do similar things, like Aim and Bonobo, but none of it really hits the spot. There's a density to K&Ds work which sets it apart.

― chap, Thursday, 17 July 2008 16:26 (seventeen years ago)

K&D's DJ Kicks was also pretty good IIRC. Now I'm reminiscing about comedown albums. Those lounge/trip-hop albums were pretty good for that. Other albums my friends would put on were by Bonobo, Minus 8, and both Tosca and Peace Orchestra.

― rockapads, Thursday, 17 July 2008 16:54 (seventeen years ago)

three weeks pass...

been busting out tosca's opera again lately and it sounds even better than it did then. and it was one of my very faves then! the sound of it all fits in so nicely with shit like mark e at the moment it's ridiculous. if you haven't listened in awhile, highly recommend.

also, ramosi upthread is crazy and sooooo off the mark on this one.

― andrew m., Thursday, 7 August 2008 19:59 (seventeen years ago)

also fits well next to quiet village silent movie, surprise surprise. that little k7! on the back ain't no accident!
