Selector Dub Narcotic

Posted over 2 years ago
Reunited and it feels so good. I got this compilation when it came out in 1998 on K Records. It's not really the greatest compilation but it's not bad either. Somehow the album parted from me and I haven't heard it since 1998. What stood out for me was this was the first time I had ever heard Make Up. From what I can tell this song was only on this album and not on any other. It prompted me to buy two records, one cd, one 12", and one 45. I was thoroughly happy with Make Up. Such an awesome band. The other track that I really loved on this comp was by The Bartlebees. I know nothing about this band or what they're saying but I really love the song. There's about 4 songs with Calvin Johnson on them. One is with Beck and it's called "Close to God". Not really that great. There's a couple of indy hip-hop tracks that are ok. Overall not the best comp but it has its moments. I just feel better for getting it again even if it's really only for two songs.

  4. Bartleby says I like the title: "Selector Dub Narcotic." Fistula, you're dealing a highly addictive and euphoric music.

  5. mickimicki says "Willst Du mit mir gehen" means "Do you wanna be my GF/BF", he's saying that "he's your man (hers, I mean)", etc... if you want I can go into a bit more detail later Bill, your love for obscure German music is really fascinating. It's rare that people "like" the sound of our language :p

  6. mickimicki says "someone else's world" does definitely have a touch of Can. I actually thought it was them for a second! Really cool and cute song.

  7. soulrocket says interesting tracks. selector calvin, brings some modern pothead music. as you well said k records releases are very much a hit or miss.

  8. fistula spume says walkingthecow I'll see if I can help with that. Bartleby tis very addictive. micki who's Bill? I was thinking it was something like that but I wasn't sure of the details. I do love me some German music. Who says they have to be all trippy, hard, and heavy? soulrocket yeah it's definitely songs by potheads. I was thinking earlier today that his label roster is probably just whatever new crop of kids show up at Evergreen College.

  10. fistula spume says I figured you meant Ivy. That's ok. He's a good guy to be mistaken for. :)

  11. mickimicki says Here's a little something for you ;-) Btw, the title of the album means "Of All Thoughts, I most appreciate the interesting ones".

  12. fistula spume says Oh thank you so much micki. I really need to invest in some Die Sterne. I have two tracks and one of them I've put on a ton o' mixes. From what I've heard I really love. They sound really great.

  13. mickimicki says Haha, you gotta do that, really! Their singer and guitarist has started a solo project, and it's rumoured he did because the last Sterne album didn't do too well in the media. Even though it was great. Man I love them... saw them live about 15 times over the last 15 yrs... Now, which songs do you have already? I can say that I have LOTS of their stuff... To get you started, here's a link from their own site which downloads you a .zip with an unreleased tune and a typical concert pic :)

  14. fistula spume says This was the song I was thinking about. Didn't realize there was a video for it. Thanks for the link to .zip file. What I've heard of them I really like. Recommend an album to start with?

  15. mickimicki says The third, ??Posen?? has to be my favourite... but that's kinda personal, because of memories of the time. ??Die Interessanten?? is great, too, and the newer ones are also good. There's really no real miss between them! I like the second one least b/c it's kinda moody.. but that doesn't make it a bad album either. The song in the video is actually from that 2nd album, ??In Echt??, from around '94. It's called "Sober", and he sez that he's sober, because he's got sober _genes_.... You know what? I'm gonna make a little post! I'm so glad you like my favourite band :D
