Kompakt Total 1

1999 release, repressed on its 10th Anniversary! First CD release in the now iconic Kompakt Total series. "There were many different colors. After nine swinging 12 inches over the last two years, Kompakt reaches its first little jubilee. A unique visual style, pretty hard work, and not the smallest amount of passion made Kompakt one of the most respected minimal house and techno platforms in Germany and beyond. The compilation Total 1 looks back with pride and forward with hope. It's a presentation of all the songs to remember, to get to know, or just to spin. The CD format offers you a nice, balanced mix between romantic reviews and some visionary unreleased material. All the excitement ranges from good old mates like Jürgen Paape, M. Mayer, or Reinhard Voigt, up to shooting stars like Olaf Dettinger, Benjamin Wild, and Marco 'Shitkatapult' Haas. Please notice: this is no Cologne compilation. Integrating a bunch of young and restless talents from all over the country we can pretend this system has no frontiers." Different track listing to the vinyl version, 13 tracks in all, including 7 not found on the 2xLP.
