We Say...
While vinyl singles are arguably the essence of Kompakt's aesthetic, the label began making its material available to the CD-buying public in 1999 with the launch of the Total series, a title that neatly summed up the label's expansive aspirations to unite the world — or at least, unite a virtual totality of musical styles — under a thudding kick drum. Rabid Kompakt fans can argue for hours as to various installments' competing merits, but there's no denying that 2000's Total 2 is a highlight of the catalogue, neatly summing up a span that ranges from blistering, acid-scarred dance tracks (Reinhard Voigt's "Zu Dicht Dran") to spiky, hyperactive pop (Gebr. Teichmann's "Aus der Ferne") to moody, soul- and goth-tinged comedown cuts (Superpitcher's "Shadows," Jimmi Moon's "Lovelane"). In the record's most complete statement, Closer Musik's "One Two Three (No Gravity)," sullen synths and guitar come together with Matias Aguayo's cool whisper to create as weightless a vision of techno as you'll ever hear.
“ The indie iTunes — Hardcore music fans are migrating to eMusic, the iTunes Music Store's cheaper, cooler cousin.”
