Speicher CD1

Back in stock. In early 2001, Kompakt released 'Speicher 1', a 12" containing four tracks from as many producers. It appeared to be a one-off until 'Speicher 2' was released in mid-2002, and then several issues in the series were released shortly thereafter - a total of seven by the time this mix from Michael Mayer was out. A simple compilation of the first five would've fit neatly on one disc, but the tracks are far more effective in the context of a mix, especially when placed in the hands of a DJ like Mayer. So, for those who don't buy vinyl, this imaginatively summarizes a series that has presented the club-oriented side of Kompakt, which is more aggressive and noisy than their standard microhouse and ambient leanings.
