Konigsforst Gas

Originally issued by Mille Plateaux in 1998, 'Königsforst' is an ideal example of Wolfgang Voigt's turn away from his early '90s acid rave classics toward a more Teutonically-refined hybrid of classical elegance and inexorable techno momentum. More specifically, the tracks distill Voigt's experience of walking in the Black Forest into a sort of rhythm-driven meditation, creating a space for reflection upon always-the-same/always-different repetition that most beautifully encourages the mind of the listener to wander, ponder and arrive at similarly rarified conclusions.
