Special 12” featuring new versions of the track Fa, taken from the debut Fennesz solo album ‘Hotel Paral.lel’ (1997). 15 years after its initial release, Christian Fennesz gives this throbbing monster of a track a new seeing to, extending it and adding more of that magic he is so well known for. The album was always an exercise in exploring alternate means of hearing club based music. This new version carries that concept further.

 

This is backed by a cracking new mix by the ever productive Mark Fell, adding his unique beat structures, and even a MLK sample, which lends his contemporary rhythmic landscape a odd nostalgic twist.

 

This 12” can be seen as a warm up for the new Fennesz album, which is currently scheduled for 2013 release.

Wow, this is seriously nice. The original was probably my favourite track from Hotel Paral.lel and the Mark Fell remix (you know, the one I used to make those unfunny Sonic remarks about) just sounds incredible and builds brilliantly.

(and a rather too expensive for a single 12'' in my opinion here - http://editionsmego.com/release/eMEGO+151)

yeah its truly great, love that wall of digitalized guitars over that 4/4 beat...

& its rather cheap, as flac files from bookmat, like 20min of really good music (i think you get a dowload code with the vinyl release from mego)

sounds interesting, Fennesz is great stuff

yeah fa is the best from hotel paralel, I really like it
