Today's compilation:
Superlongevity 2 2001 Minimal Techno / Microhouse / Tech-House
A little bit surprised by just how much this one actually failed to click with me here. I've never really ventured all that much into the realms of the more minimally-flavored styles of dance like minimal techno and microhouse before, but this release is so highly rated on Discogs that I thought I was gonna enjoy it; but I didn't.
See, I guess what's always drawn me to a whole lot of different types of music in the first place is the overall dynamism—that is, music with rhythmic and melodic layers to it that has a bunch of different elements coalescing around each other to form a fully-fledged song. And when something like that doesn't end up taking place, I'm far less likely to be riveted.
Now, two things here: one, to be very clear, I'm not posting about the much more popular double-disc DJ mix version of Superlongevity 2; what I plugged into today is the double *12-inch* version of it, which plucked out a handful of tracks that appeared on the DJ mix and presented them in their full, unmixed versions.
And two, no shade at all to the makers of these quieter styles of dance music, either. I hear the innovation in some of these tracks in which this 'less is more' mentality bears a unique type of fruit that can't be yielded with a more maximal ethos. For example, the approach to creating a backbeat with this stuff can be a much more meticulous process than it would be with a regular four-on-the-floor tune, because that backbeat is just so much more prominent on tracks like these. And a song like Dimbiman's "Hōkūle'A," which embeds tiny specks of unidentifiable vocal samples into its backbeat, serves as a prime example of a tune that doesn't overlook its most foundational element, which some terrific house tunes are able to totally get away with, with their pretty simple combinations of 4/4 kick drums, hi-hats, and hand-claps.
But still—and there are definitely exceptions to my own rule here—I'm almost always gonna want more meat on the bone than what's provided in this comp. Nothing but respect for the people who've tried to expand the sonic limitations of dance music and forge new paths for it, but my tastes tend to lean towards something with a lot more thickness. I'll always give this stuff a chance and have been personally wowed by people like Heiko Laux's brand of minimal techno, as well as a bunch of tracks off of this microhouse comp from German label Kompakt, for example, but give me something with a lot less empty space and I'm probably gonna end up digging that more than this crop of tunes here.
All that said, though, maybe the double-disc DJ mix version of this album that was done by Zip—co-founder of the German label that put this thing out, Perlon—will be such a transcendent experience for me that it will completely change my mind one day and I'll regret having written most of what I just said above 😅🤷‍♂️.
No highlights.
