Extraordinary and essential archival obscurity from kosmische generator Conrad Schnitzler, reissued for the first time on vinyl with reshapes from Pole, and Bornbräber & Strüver. Schnitzler's 20 minute composition 'Zug' was issued on a private tape back in 1974, capturing the innovator in his most alien and transcendental form. The track revolves around a hypnotic and infinitely linear rhythm which Schnitzler gradually develops into glorious astral plumes, increasing with creepy intensity towards some foreboding, unresolved conclusion. The two remixes offer possible solutions to this problem. Firstly, Pole's reshape sounds remarkably similar to the recent MvO Trio experiments, detaching the prickly, metallic hi-end rhythms and arranging them around a swooping subbass momentum with acres of space in between. It's more earthbound than the original, but equally hypnotic and abstract. Further on and Bornbräber & Strüver give another grounded but similarly driving effort loaded with slow pounding kicks and a slowly maturing synth grind.

This is astonishing and wonderful and has been dominating my weekend like you would not believe.

Hello Nolan Micron,
We are really happy you like the stuff we release on our label m=minimal.
We are not happy at all, that you invite other people to download it for free.
You would help us to save work and time removing the download link on your blog by yourself as soon as you read this mail.
This will allow you and us to simply continue enjoying music instead of dealing with stuff nobody of us likes to deal with.
Thank you

Hi there.

I'll remove the link as soon as I get home tonight. It's always a difficult balance for bloggers - to draw attention to great music and to give people a taste of what's cool and out there. For the record, I get far more requests to re up music than I do from people who dig the stuff I post (which I always ignore). And I always only keep current releases up for a few days only.

Would it be ok if I printed this mail and a link to your website on the blog?

I'd also be more than happy to link to you if you have any new stuff upcoming that you'd like to promote.

Still friends?

We are still friends!

Great to be able to work out a problem in such a nice and easy way.

Feel free to post the mail on your blog and yes, please include the link to our site www.m-minimal.com

I'll add your mail to our newsletter, so you'll receive it as soon we release something new.

Peace

Christian,

So there we have it. I fully understand Christian's position and have removed the link. It's the Blogger's dilemma. I don't want to deprive anyone of important revenue, least of all super cool and important boutique labels like m=minimal, so I guess the answer is for you to go and buy some stuff released by them. If you do, could you leave a comment to let Christian and I know? Thanks.
