i agree that it's a great release but the kompakt label
output isnt all like that. the idm & experimental 
sound on the sub rosa vs kompakt comp is due
more to the Sub Rosa camp than the kompakt
guys. The Kompakt camp's sound rests firmly 
in the colognesque techno/tech-house groove with
the exception of the Dettinger cd which is a little
mellower than the other Kompakt releases. I 
suggest you check out the Koln Kompakt 1 
compilation cd to get a better taste of what
Kompakt has to offer.

Check out the Kompakt website at:

If you enjoy the Kompakt sound you may
want to check out Jorg Burger's new Popular
Organization label. The releases by The
Modernist and Trinkwasser are wonderful.
