Title:  Regretten? Rien! Artist:  Ilsa Gold Label:  Editions Mego Format:  2 X CD Price:  € 20.00   Mp3 samples:   1   2

Title Description:
They were the darlings of the young rave nation, the nightmare of investigative party journalism and, needless to say, the kings of scheiss-house: they were Ilsa Gold, Austria's legendary and probably most irritating contribution to the history of electronic music. After only three excessive years, in 1996 Peter (aka DJ Pure) and Christopher Just decided to go their musical separate ways. Since then Christopher Just has ironized electronic dance music in the guise of Punk Anderson, Disco Dancer, and House Motherfucker, while DJ Pure has devoted his efforts to experimental electronica, for Mego among others. Now in 2003 the influential oeuvre of Ilsa Gold is being celebrated in due and fitting extravagance. On a double CD, "Regretten? Rien!" documents the history of Vienna's most successful export article to the Rave Generation

Vital Review:


ILSA GOLD - REGRETTEN? RIEN! (2CD by Mego)
Would I mind review some old school techno, I was asked? No of course I
don't mind, certainly when it comes from the house of Mego. This double pack
tells us the story of Ilsa Gold. A duo of Christopher Just and Peter Votava
(aka DJ Pure). In a short time they were the lovers of big time raves with
their own unique sound: harcore techno (at times based on gabber) with those
wacky samples thrown that sound like sped up vocals adding a strong wacky
sense of humor to the bowl. Their appearances at raves were hilarious: they
put a DAT machine on stage and spent the time playing back their hits with
the aid of a yoghurt machine. Not of course that anyone liked this,
certainly not the ravers. In 1996 Christopher and Peter parted ways and now
in 2003 a double CD, in an gold DVD box sums up their history. This sort of
gabber like music is something I would indeed not spin quite often, but
served in such a large dose of 140 minutes, I must say I quite enjoyed the
rawness of the music. Much unlike most other techno music that is in the
overground, this is fresh, raw and distinctely underground. Quotation run
via the Four Non Blonds (here 'For Blond Nuns) to 'Alles Naar De Klote' in
the remix of the Non Blondes track and 'James Brown Is Dead', but with a
piss-take on Jorg Haider. If you missed out this particular piece of
history, so can get the remains thereof now. How nice. (FdW)
