freak51 Posted May 16, 2000 Share Posted May 16, 2000 Kopfuss Resonator - Spect R Module Artist: Kopfuss Resonator Title: Spect R Module Label: Nephilim Date: 1998 Track listing: 01. 07'28" VPM Groove 02. 08'00" Redsprite 03. 07'42" Reboot 04. 07'09" Kein Traum 05. 07'25" Module One 06. 08'16" Whipbird 07. 05'21" Cold Fusion 08. 06'15" Tommis Machine 09. 08'19" Go There 10. 04'32" Antigravity Review: "Now I want you to take yourself back to that spot. When you close your eyes and go to that place. Now look again up at those pink clouds. Pick one, and go there ... Go there ..." Who is this? Blavatsky? Some ancient mystic gypsy woman intones this again and again over the hardest, heaviest, most merciless percussion riffs I have ever heard in trance. This record keeps giving and giving too, with several other A-list tracks for those who like it dark and sci-fi. From Module One ("I - am - beeeeeeeeent") to Kein Traum and VPM Groove, the record is mainly percussion-driven, but somehow I enjoy it anyway. Fans of Astral Projection/Man with No Name type stuff will not like this at all. The best part about this one is the bang for the buck. Someone actually sold this back and I found it second-hand for 10 bucks, probably some happy hardcore PLUR child scared witless by this savage, brutal release. But they pretty much had to turn out some pretty evil noises to live up to the name 'Kopfuss Resonator'. 9/10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mars Posted May 16, 2000 Share Posted May 16, 2000 some happy hardcore PLUR child scared witless by this savage, brutal release ??? I think it's because of the album, not him... ok. i dont like this album. It's too dark; some tracks are well built, but it ends up with only noise noise and noise again in most of the tracks. so: 4/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest [Anonymous] Posted May 17, 2000 Share Posted May 17, 2000 this is one of my favourites for some time now. all tracks are very percussive, most are well built and driving. One or two tracks are slightly too monotonous for my tastes ( "Tommis Machine") but "Whipbird" or "Kein Traum" make up for that. Sure, this is not exactly melodic, but to me it's not that dark either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freak51 Posted May 30, 2000 Author Share Posted May 30, 2000 the cover is supposed to be a creature but made entirely of gears and wires and stuff, kind of like what creation would be like if God were a German. The best part of the cover is the centre, when you open it up: is it a spinal column of some predator? Nooo - it's a model made entirely out of cabling, a wonderfully mechanical world-view. Mars - I think I like the noisy sounds because I came fairly recently from Industrial/Gothic on my musical journey, so this feels almost like a sick comfort food.

Guest [Anonymous] Posted November 7, 2000 Share Posted November 7, 2000 This is a cd for a certain mood - and that mood is hard, fast and dark. I think it's a tribute to Kopfuss that some days I can think what a waste of money in my collection, and other days I just can't get enough of it. Perhaps that says more about me than the album, but I think it certainly has it's niche and if you're after something that comfortably fits in with all your other stuff then this is unlikely to be it - if however you want something for just that moment when it has to be frantic and brutal ...... this is it ! 1/10 to 9/10 ! bomble Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mrandell[at]mindspring[dot]com Posted December 7, 2000 Share Posted December 7, 2000 This cd is such a pounder. Good for acid trip when you really want a powerful sound. German style all it's own I have never heard anything else that mixes into or out of a kopfuss track without noticing the transition. Wonderful stuff all the way through.

Guest Ravemail10 Posted December 15, 2000 Share Posted December 15, 2000 OH--------MY-----------GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GO THERE!!!!!!!!! HOLY SHIT!!!!!!!!!! G-E-T T-H-I-S N-O-W!!! Take yourself back to that place... Just close your eyes and go to that spot... Go there... Over the hardest, most driving drums and bassline you ever heard, and in the middle the song peaks and you don't just GO there, you are fucking KICKED there! Mama rodnaya, kus-naal'abuk(russian, hebrew )... Thats my first impression! No mark, too early to judge this album. The cover owns Bom! - Raven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest smokeBuddha Posted February 8, 2001 Share Posted February 8, 2001 This is decent cd. If you want music like this, there is way better stuff out there. Only half the tracks are good, the rest are garbage. With that in mind, I give it 5/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest [Anonymous] Posted February 14, 2002 Share Posted February 14, 2002 tommis machine kicks great stuff!! if you like your techno with some psychedelic influences then go for it.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest clair[at]ihug.co[dot]nz Posted June 18, 2002 Share Posted June 18, 2002 I've had your CD over 2 years and it still sounds great. At the party in Australia your set sounded the best! I forgot to make a note of your new email address and then my address book got wiped out. Please email me again so I can reply... Much Love and happy thoughts from Clair in N.Z.

Guest v_e_c_7_o_r[at]yahoo[dot]com Posted June 27, 2002 Share Posted June 27, 2002 Well, what can I say ? Thats the best shit I ever heard, I think Kopfuss Resonator is the BEST project ever. I like everything, especially the style - its hard, kicking and fucking fast, just the one for me :].The first KR track I listened to was Module One over 3 years ago - it made a great impression on me - I never heard anything like it before. I give this one 10/10. Yeah, Go There, um GO... ? Kick ? Being f... kicked there !?... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trance2MoveU Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 "It can only be attributed to human error." No, no...leave him be. If you know a better way to workout those elbows I'm all ears. Now this is something different. Hard, abrasive, rhythmic techno that flirts with trance. Teases it. Like a hot chick that knows she's hot. Metallic and alien sounding it's just what the doctor ordered when you need to get away from the bright sunshine. This is a rusty machine that grinds up cheese with the harsh sounds of metal scraping concrete. The squirmy 303 in Kein Traum reminds you that goa ain't dead yet. Whipbird is a psychedelic goa car crash that left me wanting more. I like what was posted earlier in the thread when someone rated it 1/10 - 9/10. If you get your mind right and are in the mood for it this is nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
