I wonder if that's stuff from Vertical Ascent, new material or some mixture. As much as I love both Oswald and Delay, and their past work is more than 90% awesome, I just fucking hate/don't get Vertical Ascent.

Is that from when they played at the polish place back in June?

That show was terrible.

its very good, not anything fantastic tho. just a solid mix.

there's a lot of new material, but the style is close to Vertical Ascent.

Can anyone recommend some damn good MvO sets?

i've never heard any other than this set he did with Tikiman under Rhythm & Sound. don't download that one.

I havent heard much of his stuff, but if you have to pick some seminal pieces what would they be? Incl. Albums.

Yea I have to admit Vertical Ascent is only for a certain time and I cannot say exactly what that time is. Try doing it at night with the TV turned off and very little background noise, or first thing in the morning on a saturday or sunday. I usually start with sections 2 or 4

Sometimes I'm able to get into it this way...but not every time. When it clicks though its really cool.

he has an enormous amount of work done. i've only touched a bit, but here is what you should listen to first:

(Moritz von Oswald & Mark Ernestus) Basic Channel - Quadrant Dub II

(Moritz von Oswald & Mark Ernestus) Cyrus - Inversion

(Moritz von Oswald & Mark Ernestus) Maurizio - M4.5A

Moritz von Oswald - Watamu Beach Rework

Carl Craig & Moritz von Oswald - ReComposed

and then all the Basic Channel work. i would like some recommendations myself to be honest, as i only found out about MvO because of Vertical Ascent when I saw he was collaborated with Vladislav Delay.

btw, check out Vladislav Delay - Multila. it's one of his most beautiful compositions, and not very accessible even to regular listeners of weirdness.
