Gas – Gas

Am I nuts or is side a 45 and side b 33? I’m sure of it! Sounds fantastic! Great weird looped haunting vocal? samples! Tip! 🔥🔥🔥💣🔈🔈🎼

Dead silent, full soundstage. Buy with confidence. Classic chill gear.

Excellent album and worth waiting for. That classic GAS combo of drone, swirl and thudding beat. Beware though: the CD has shorter tracks than the digital from Bandcamp. I wasn't aware of that until I had the CD so now have both.

Absolutely gorgeous sound off this thing. Can't complain at all.

The LP includes a code for a digital copy of the album: 24-bit, 48MHz FLACs available to via Bandcamp.

Personally, I think these CD titles should all be referred to as edits.

The digital and Vinyl release have the full length tracks:
A Untitled 13:53
B Untitled 18:42
C Untitled 14:22
D Untitled 11:06
E Untitled 16:07
F Untitled 17:24.
.

You're in for a treat here. If, like me, you've been wanting a copy of this most of your adult life, the wait will be well worth it. Dead silent press, gorgeously mastered - like hearing it with new ears after all this time. For a release they pulled out all the stops to make this beautifully special, would have been nice to have lined inner sleeves, but you can never have it all, right?

Vinyl reissue forthcoming via Kompakt on 23.8.2024. Great news, as track 1 is one of the most serene and blissed-out pieces under the GAS moniker, unavailable for decades...until now.

Did some analysis and turns out the entirety of this 120+ album is made with only THREE samples/sounds total, not counting bass pads and/or beats.

First two tracks are built around this keyboard-synth sample with an airy feel (should i say gassy), which is apparent at first listen. But the main sound throughout track 4 is a VERY tiny bit from the sample used in track 3, just looped to infinity and pitched down 8 semitones. The final two tracks also are made with a common string-like sample being used at two different speeds, with a lot of echo and equalizing to it. And that's the whole thing.

Could this scarcity of sounds be the reason why Voigt seemingly wants to forget about this album? In my opinion making an album this monumental and mesmerizing with such limited resources is just another proof of how genius the man really is and how unique this musical statement keeps on being.

PD: true story, this one time i blasted this entire album at one pizza place i worked at, some girl who was there with me straight asked me if 'i believed in god' by the fifth track. With a straight face, too.

Kome on Kompakt! Please repress this vinyl? Thousands of fans and I will purchase.
