Originally released in 1998 on the iconic Frankfurt imprint Mille Plateaux, Kompakt present a reissue of one of GAS’s seminal modern classic albums. 'Königsforst' drifts through spacious minimalism and lush ambient-dub techno, inspired by LSD-fuelled walks in Germany’s Black Forest. Each untitled piece unfolds gradually, layering dense atmospheres and delicate textures into a deeply immersive and timeless listening experience — weightless, reflective, and beautifully restrained.

"GAS fantasises about a sound body ranging somewhere between Schönberg and Kraftwerk, between bugle and bass drum. GAS is Glamrock as Wagner, Hansel and Gretel on Acid. An endless march through the undergrowth – into the disco – of an imaginary, misty forest." - Wolfgang Voigt
