the four albums will be reissued on cd in a box set with two vinyls. don't know what's on the vinyl yet, but hopefully it will be the first ep and oktember. no word yet if the two vinyl only tracks from koenigsforst will be included. if you're not familiar, it's unique german techno that gradually melted into experimental ambient sound. all of these records have been out of print for years, they are all highly recommended by people you trust more than me. |

two vinyls you say? |
||||||||
|
|

four cd's and two vinyls. |

goodie, glad i'm not wrong again, this might be purchaseable |
||||||||
|

I own all the albums so I probably won't buy this, but I will say GAS has to be some of the greatest music of ever. I want new material. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
haha |

you're probably already aware of it, but there's a gas remix on markus guentner's "regensburg" remix 12" on kompakt that is well worth hearing. now that i think about it, that 12" has been out for a long time, but i haven't seen it mentioned around here (aside from me occasionally championing markus guentner, especially his kompakt album "in moll"). i haven't heard the vinyl only tracks or any of oktember, so there's a few new things to look forward to. i'm not looking forward to paying extra to own shit i already have, but 98% of gas is totally essential so i'm sure i'll buy it anyway. |

This is great news. I'm not sure if I'll buy the thing (I guess it depends how much it costs...), since I already have three of the albums, but I'm hoping for an increase in people dumping their copies on eBay and elsewhere, so I can pick up a relatively cheap copy of Königsforst. |
||||||||

markus guentner is really good, but i must say i'm not keen on his non-ambient/techno stuff (namely the last album and any other minimal excursions he does). 1981 is my favourite. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Oh yes! I'm buying this. Gas is brilliant. I've downloaded all the mp3s from kompaktmp3 but I'd much rather own something real. you know. Where did you get your info from? |
||||||||

the box set is called "nah und fern," and comes out in may. also in may, raster noton apparently is releasing a book of graphic design by wolfgang voigt (who is gas) that will include a cd with the gas performance from the "20 minutes" series that came out on raster noton as well as unreleased gas tracks. still don't know what's on the box set vinyl, though... |
||||||||

Might as well be called "Meh and Nah" for all the likelyhood I'll miss this opportunity to not buy these fucking Mille Plateaux records, again. |

Thanks for adding your opinion to the internet. |

No problem. |

the four reissued cds are sold separately from the 2 vinyls. the vinyls have one track each from the second, third, and fourth albums, and supposedly an unreleased track. they are supposedly longer versions of the originals. the four cds are essentially the same as the original albums, except there has apparently been some additional tweaking. the vinyls are supposedly limited, but i don't know how many were actually pressed. unfortunately, modern and oktember are not included, as far as i know. the vinyls are traveling towards me as we speak. |

just ordered this. can't wait |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
why isnt there any version of Modern around that doesnt skip |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the kompakt shop mp3s don't skip? i still wonder why they don't have oktember up to buy as mp3s though! fair enough if you couldn't fit them on the box, but why the modern 12" and not oktember?! |
||||||||
|

|
there is also a vinyl only track from "koenigsforst" lp that they don't offer as an mp3. here's hoping they remedy this... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
actually there's two vinyl-only tracks from konigsforst... there's that bouncy uptempo one that goes between two chords. and the other other one sort of sounds like a different variation of #2 and #4 with those backwards guitar notes. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so there's a track on the cd that's not on the vinyl? there are seven tracks on the vinyl, and six tracks on the cd. i've only heard the cd version of that album... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no, i'm 98% sure (as i've only got mp3s, not the vinyl itself), that there are TWO extra tracks on the vinyl version of konigsforst. so 8 tracks in total. and that the CD version has 6 tracks but has a longer version of the last track (track 6 - 10 minutes instead of 7 minutes on the vinyl or whatever). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
according to discogs, there are 7 tracks on the vinyl. i'll probably never hear the vinyl either, though, unless they reissue it... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, like i said - i'm not 100% sure. everything seems to be differently labeled everywhere. all i know is that i've got a 6:06 and a 7:18 track that are apparently from the vinyl which AREN'T on konigsforst or anything else. so maybe the vinyl misses one of the CD tracks to make it 7 tracks or something? i have no idea. it's the same with oktember. i've got two tracks which i assume are the correct ones as they're both different (but almost like different versions of the same thing) and not on any other gas release. but also i've read that it actually the first track from konigsforst (the 9:43) on side a, and then an unreleased song on side b. then i've seen it mislabelled with those raster noton 20' to 2000 tracks as the bside. phew! which is another reason why it's a shame this stuff isn't included in the box - or at least as mp3s at kompakt. i wonder, does anyone here have vinyl copies of konigsforst and oktember and could check this for us? |
||||||||
|

|

well i finally got my nah und fern in the mail today. i put on Konigsforst and it sounds great. |

if you're not interested in the book, you can also buy the unreleased tracks (that come with the book on a cd) in flac or mp3. |
