Greg Fenton reviews GAS – GAS – Kompakt 491
Time travels fast and lose these days and this welcome reissue of GAS from 1996 is timely and significantly provides enough reason to revisit and relive the experience in full. Wolfgang Voigt’s alias sounds as impactful now as then with each piece of music exposing deep-felt atmospheres of relish to be explored. Sometimes beats and bass seem more prominent than others, driving tracks such as heavy-duty GAS 3 via a brooding intent, although it has to be said the album is not reliant on dancefloor equations as the sounds reach deeper than that, touching the soul of the occasion with thought and the investigation of meaning. Likewise, feelings can seem introspective just as they can be uplifting like the excellent, bright tomorrow haunting GAS 5 or the unfolding, rushing ambience scoring the final number GAS 6.
A pleasure.
Release: August 23
