Du Musst Nichts Sagen Rmxs Wolfgang Voigt

(EN) "Du musst nichts sagen" ("You don't have to say anything") was a puristic sound study with lots of bassdrum and a hint of flourish, which threw a tight girdle over Wolfgang Voigt's sonic cosmos. Originally the b-side to "Rückverzauberung 2", a much more freeform exploit, "Du musst nichts..." marched towards a dark fortress, following a point-blank trail and inspired by the mute grit of the many. But the original's rigor is neither unknown to this oeuvre, nor would the artist not have other strategies in mind to reach his designated goal. The remixes at hand present three distinct alternatives, starting with the Fanfaren Mix that cranks up the amount of fanfare – hence its name –, but also explicitly carves out the underlying 4/4 rhythm. By contrast, the Informel Mix dabs on his percussion in a more intuitive way: created as the soundtrack for an experimental video, this version doesn't so much buy into the source's drama, but focuses on what was heard between the notes in the first place. The flipside is an old acquaintance too: the Doppelvoigt Mix was showcased in a video of the same name, which took an interview given by Wolfgang Voigt and translated it into some sort of documentary Techno both abstract and humoristic. In the end, all three versions share one classic Voigt verdict: Techno is essentially Ambient... only without the Ambient part. This release comes as a standard edition (art print incl.) or as a handmade "Vinyl Extra" edition (signed art print incl.) limited to 40 copies worldwide and available only through Kompakt.fm.

Ursprünglich die B-Seite zum sehr viel freier intonierten "Rückverzauberung 2", marschierte "Du musst nichts..." auf schnurgeradem Pfad einer dunklen Festung entgegen, wortlos, aber vom Mut der Vielen beseelt. Doch die Strenge, die das Original ausstrahlt, ist
