Just saw the 3LP re-issue will ship from Kompakt on June 4!!! https://kompakt.fm/releases/koenigsforst_3xlp_dl -
Königsforst... It´s beautiful soundscapes, are a sonic trip, the powerful kick drums mixed in a wonderful way with the deep layers... I really love this album, in every sense. I used to listen the whole album in my night walks, before bedtime too! (It´s a powerful dream summoner) Essential ambient Masterpiece!
5/5 -
Edited 8 years agoThis album, though not a desert-island must-have, is still beloved. It has the muted, wet feel of dub techno, but without the dub bass lines and obvious delay effects. It's almost like dense, drone ambient with bass beats, but the drones are not synthesized, rather they're derived from dissonant, minor-key, slowed-down orchestral loops, and the beats are very much in the background. Similar concepts explored in the 2000s include Carl Craig & Moritz von Oswald - ReComposed and remixes thereof. -
o o oooohh, oppala, has anybody realised that track 1 is NOT königsforst but from the 12" oktember by gas???, compare with it ;-), incredible, so WHAT has this track to do on this cd-version???

Edited 12 years agoThis LP is majestic in it's sonic scope.
Thunderous kick drums carry the listener through a falling leaf kaleidoscope of forest laden dreams.
Gas has shared his psychedelic memories of times gone by.
Simply beautiful music and a collection of songs that lulls me to sleep every night. -

This is the real deal DO NOT BUY THE NAH UND FERN VERSION which has ruined track five by over compressing and so-called remastering. I go to sleep to this every night.

Edited 20 years agoIn my opinion, the cd DOES differ significantly from the lp, since there are tracks on either format that are not on the other. Also, I think this is Voigt's best album, sooo melancholy, i love it. If you're into this, be sure to check out Jan Jelinek's 'Loop-finding-jazz-records' [sic], which is similar in style and atmosphere, albeit a little bit more rhythm-directed. These are two of all time favourite records.
