GAS - Narkopop

https://boomkat.com/products/narkopop

In a hugely surprising turn of events, Wolfgang Voigt returns to his most cherished project with the first new GAS album in almost two decades.

No matter if you are the most die-hard techno head who's still salivating over last year's mammoth 10 x LP boxset (or even one of those lucky enough to have bought the original LPs the first time around!) or a casual browser within the esoteric electronic universe, there is no doubt that the words 'GAS' followed by 'new album' are going to send shivers down your spine.

It's no surprise that we have long adored the GAS project, having featured the previously unreleased track Die Wand as the opening piece on our decade anniversary compilation Bleep:10, each GAS record receives a weekly spin on the Bleep office stereo. The original four albums have also been a constant source of inspiration for endless waves of artists coming through the underground. From the next gen Chain Reaction-techno of Fluxion and the reverb-drenched breakbeat excursions of the Modern Love crew through to the outer-reaching wax of Astral Industries.

Narkopop is a truly immersive journey into the deepest, darkest corners of the Königsforst from which the inspiration for the project stems - sure to be one of the most life-affirming albums of 2017.

Salty price for the vinylz, but I might just go for it when I have some extra cash for once.

edit: about 10 euros cheaper ordered from Kompakt instead of blerp

was just listening to my gas playlist, good news, sounds great

He's got some kind of fetish for spensive vinyls.

Both Bleep and Boomkat have a track 11 running for over an hour.....Think they've both copy and pasted from the wrong thing and that's the length of the entire album rather than a super long final track

yeah looks like they copied and pasted from a spreadsheet or something weird like that and it included a total run time and the album name on the last line

The entire album as an uninterrupted mix? It's not that unusual to get as a bonus when you buy music digitally...

The total running time for the ten separate tracks is about 77 minutes.

Excited regardless :-)

WHAT

oh my

that preview sounds immense. vinyl preordered.

Fuck.  Yes.

wow, sounds ridiculous!

No fucking way! That was the quickest insta-buy ever for me (3LP v.).

Goddamn. I really hope it doesn't sell out during the weekend, as I'm trying to scrounge up enough money to preorder it.

mmm, sounds good.

can already tell track six is my shit 

Track in the trailer sounds brilliant, I'm very much looking forward to hearing the full album.

Out on the 21st of April, aka my birfday! 

Kompakt has 1:30 of each track.  Snippets are universally glorious. Seems like it may be a worthy addition to the forest trilogy.  I do miss the wildly analog sampled crackly and indiscernible actual classic music from Zauberberg and Konigsforst, but that was already absent from Pop
