| Sebastian Meissner (aka Klimek), living in Frankfurt/Main, is a concept artist, composer, sound designer and photographer, and this is his second full-length release on Kompakt. The follow up to the critically-acclaimed 2005 full length Milk & Honey, Music To Fall Asleep breathes new life to the world of indie-folk and ambient. Meissner's perseverance to the progression of contemporary music and use of found sounds has taken listeners on journeys to Jerusalem, deep inside the turmoil of the Palestinian conflict as his alter-ego Random Industries, and inside his diverse record crate with an ironic deconstruction of the post-digital genre as Bizz Circuits. Also, Meissner grapples the task of defining Noir in digital music alongside Ekkehard Ehlers in Autopoieses. Klimek follows in the traditional vein of pop ambient, while convincingly creating a scenario where one could imagine Gas in a recording session with David Grubbs putting together the soundtrack for a future David Lynch film. The acoustic guitar returns -- a mingling of harmonious picking alongside the soothing tide of his subtle strums. As the title suggests, Music To Fall Asleep paints the picture of a nocturnal landscape -- envision the faintest whispers of twilight as the hue of the sun falls below the earth, as the sandman beckons you to bed. |

| In an era of scatter-brained electronic music compilations, Total stands alone. This is not Essential Trance 35, not This Is Hi-NRG Vol. XII, this is Kompakt Total 6, this is Kompakt. The Total series began in 2000, when the Koln label compiled their own 12"s. Since then, every so often, a new Total is born. Because it is Kompakt, because it is carefully crafted electronic sound -- it has a continuity, a purpose, a constant quality. Unlike disposable dance compilations, Total contains music you can only find on Kompakt vinyl, and even some Total exclusives. Each and every Total is special. Kompakt Total 6, however, is by far the biggest. With its orange hue in the simple, traditional Kompakt design, Kompakt Total 6 looks harmless. Until it is opened -- revealed: a full 2-disc selection of some of the hottest sounds from the underground, on CD for the first time. Gems like the debut cut from Baxendale (remixed by Michael Mayer), an unreleased Justus Köhncke track, an unreleased Reinhard Voigt burner. Hard to believe Rex the Dog has never been on CD, the way it has gotten around. Or the landmark nano-trance sound of the MFA. The discerning neo-lounge DJ has had Scsi-9's "Mini" in the record bag for months, here it is for you. The list goes on and on: new Ferenc, new DJ Koze, sheesh. Twenty-four tracks in all. That's two dozen Kompakt gems in one place, in their trademark collectible design: the circle motif, the sans-serif font, the bright colors. In so many ways, Kompakt represents the label of the future. In so many ways, Total represents the Compilation of Today. Kompakt Total 6 is out, it's two CDs... and it's aural dynamite. Blasting Zone Ahead. |
