MUSIQ 285LP
|
Originally released on CD in 1995. Mule Musiq dives into the archives of humanoid ambient music history, bringing the vinyl premiere of a masterwork by German DJ, producer, and musician David Moufang, globally known as Move D. Released in 1995 on Pete Namlook's fabled Fax +49-69/450464 label, the album marks his only output as solitaire, featuring heroic, supple ambient music, that some folks call one of the best works by Move D. Just three years before he dropped it, Moufang launched with Jonas Grossmann the celebrated label source records, active from 1992 to 2005. it was the platform for his first Move D album Kunststoff, likewise released in 1995, highlighting diverse genres like techno, house, IDM, ambient, electro, and downtempo. Solitaire works with pulsating rhythms, too. Gentle ones, that cater sensations beyond the propelling dance sectors. a spiritual album. Recorded at the Resource Studios/Heidelberg in July/August 1994. It reaches out to higher ground, never leaving the sediment. Still state of the art. Not a single melody, note, tone has aged. All sparkle, all innocence is still there, somewhere deep in the arpeggiated space, absorbing time. An exploratory early electronic work by an artist, who still had his most prolific years to come. And yet, Solitaire sounds like being shaped by a fully mature creative mind, that defined his sonic language already profoundly. Six epic tunes between five and 16 minutes, listening to emblematic titles like "Damaskus/Dakar", "Sergio Leone's Wet Dream", or "Indian Mantra", while opening ambient into investigative textural layer landscapes, that subtly incorporate acid, downbeat, IDM, or early techno districts. For those who have been around in the electronic music sphere for a while, Solitaire is a classic. For those who are young at heart, it opens new horizons. each new passive or active listing loop fresh ones. Hidden in the harmonies. Hidden in the melodies. Somewhere inside the sound. Leading outside into a visual texture, where you can almost see the music! Vinyl only; edition of 500.

COMP 236EP

Originally released in 2006. There are so many things to say about Move D... like his own successful labels Source Records and KM20... his musical education as a classical drummer, jazz guitarist, and piano player... his works for the German Goethe Institut and Bauhaus University... his countless live appearances all over the world as DJ or live act... but most of all his sheer endless output of high quality electronic music.

CURLE 044EP
|
Move D is a true legend in deep, house music. When Curle Recordings found the track "Wanna Do" on the 50th Groove magazine CD full of exclusive tracks, they contacted him to ask if he would be interested in a vinyl release. The track was too good to be only available through that CD. So Move D sent a second -- also really great -- track along, and the result is right here.

Kunststoff was originally released on Move D's (David Moufang) own Heidelberg-based Source Records back in 1995. Brought back into print by City Centre Offices for a whole new generation to discover, Kunststoff is a dreamlike journey through Move D's compelling vision of an electronic vista that unfurls gradually like a majestic digital tapestry. This is the sound of techno if viewed through a heat-haze. Originally from Heidelberg Germany, Move D spent his childhood listening to the likes of Kraftwerk and Pink Floyd -- yet rather than credit these auteurs with the inspiration behind his work, Moufang pinpoints another factor as the core influence to his musical gestation; space. Having been profoundly affected by a trip to the cinema to see 2001: A Space Odyssey, Moufang spent his childhood obsessed with the cosmos -- and when the desire to make music eventually took over, it's little wonder that the results incorporated such strong elements of the ethereal and otherworldly. Translated into English as "plastic," Kunststoff is anything but production line -- succeeding in sounding as genre defying now as it was when originally released at the half-time interval of the '90s. The tracks "Soap Bubbles" and album standout "In/Out" are intensely textured compositions that take their beats as a flexible spine onto which all manner of sonic flourishes can be mapped. As innovative as any album of the past two decades, Kunststoff is generous to the listener -- refusing to insult their intelligence through easily pigeon-holed avenues, Move D instead throws up a startlingly diverse selection of music that nonetheless retains a firm cohesive thread. Best enjoyed as a whole, Kunststoff revels in juxtaposing the serrated grooves of "Nimm 2" against the kaleidoscopic synths and carbonated beats of "Beyond The Machine" -- stone cold classic.
