Reinhard Voigt Discography of CDs

Reinhard Voigt CD discography A year after releasing the subtle ambient workout Premiere World on Profan, Cologne's Reinhard Voigt again reverts back to his own name for the completely different Im Wandel der Zeit. It's quite easily the most direct and bangin' release of the Kompakt label's first four years, full of noisy ornamentation and buoyantly abrasive rhythms and beats. More than anything, it's a throwback to early-'90s Cologne acid house. Ears more accustomed to the glistening sleekness of Kompakt or Force Tracks' tech-house productions will delight in only a handful of these nine selections, specifically the third, fourth, and ninth tracks. (Like all of Kompakt's preceding single-artist releases, none of the tracks have titles.) Tempering the drill-press effects, smacking four-to-the-floor rhythms, and insistently tinny clinkings that riddle the remainder of the record, these three tracks rely more on the type of textures and generally subtle nature that Kompakt is most known for. It's not that the other six are completely alienating, completely pulverizing, or a major challenge to the listener -- they're hardly on the difficult level heard on Voigt's productions as Sweet Reinhard or Pentax. Still, you might have to find their good qualities more frequently than they find you. ~ Andy Kellman Live Recording

Reinhard Voigt albums The first various-artists-on-CD release from one of the most adventurous and consistent dance labels of the early 2000s, this package comes with an unmixed disc of previously released tracks and exclusives, along with a blinding 33-track mix from label associate Ryan Elliott. The unmixed disc gets top billing, but it's eclipsed by the mix, even though the mix presents only a minute or two from selections that often deserve to be heard in full. Elliott takes it all in, whipping through major highlights from the label's catalog while including dozens of less-recognized productions. Points of interest: Lawrence's quick-step necro-house in "Five Leaves," Matthew Dear's depth-charge electronic body music in "Anger Management," and "Apple," where Hieroglyphic Being sets the sound of a rusted roller coaster swaying in a stiff wind to a cosmic thump. Above all, there's James T. Cotton's gut-punching "The Drain," a potential nausea-inducing experience in which the mechanized handclaps seem to be the only element not twisting and warping. Elliott knows these tracks inside out, covers lots of ground, and provides a trip of a trip through the label's back catalog. It's one of the best dance mixes made ...

Reinhard Voigt music CDs STURM employs the simple, familiar devices of Kompakt's fractional techno distillation--cyclical sonar blips, smeared and FX-warped 4/4 markings, basslines that alternately bubble, burble, and brood--but emerges as something fresh and enthralling. Voigt sets himself apart by using melody as a tool for defining ...
