Gas - Königsfrost

Facts Königsforst - following the 1997 release of Zauberberg (KOM 370-1LP), Wolfgang Voigt's Gas project returned with Königsforst in 1998, a full-length that has stood the test of time as a template for introducing fundamentals of '90s techno into the principles of contemporary electronic music. Originally released in 1998 on the iconic Frankfurt imprint Mille Plateaux, and then reissued in 2016 as a part of Gas Box (KOM 370LP), Königsforst is now released on Voigt's own label, Kompakt, as a 180 gram, triple-LP vinyl in it's original artwork. Königsforst brings glimmers of light into Voigt's dark, magnificent forest. Melodic strings and brass are added to his signature layers of ominous intensity. The forest path is laid out by muffled kick drums as classical music loops incessantly swirl with no direction. Includes download.
