Description
An epic sonic journey crossing classic Kompakt territory – from Pop Ambient to tuneful techno and house -, VAL MAIRA is not just the extended follow-up to DAVE DK’s much-adored PALMAILLE 12″ (KOMPAKT 277), a release that already stood out for its almost uncanny emulation of Kompakt’s more impressionist panoply, but a sonic achievement in its own right – a record as delicate as it is candid, deliberately showcasing all its strengths and dodges, but ultimately – magically – amounting to so much more than the mere sum of its parts. In many ways, VAL MAIRA is the perfect Kompakt record, albeit one that Kompakt never made. Until now.
