The Earquake vinyl series begins at the beginning. Earquake 1991 is the first instalment of Kompakt's limited double vinyl programme celebrating Wolfgang Voigt's decade-spanning archive — each release honouring a single year with a kind of best of, drawn from a body of work that helped define the trajectory of European electronic music. For the loyal vinyl faithful and all those who want to become one.
1991 was the year of the nine-zero-nine and three-zero-three acid hysteria, and the seven tracks gathered here capture that moment with absolute fidelity. Love Inc.'s Trance Atlantic XS and the Dialogue EP from Mike Ink are both cult classics of the era — acid-driven, raw and carrying the restless, exploratory energy of a scene still working out its own rules. The vinyl-exclusive Life's A Gas (Du Musst Nichts Sagen Mix) adds a new interpretation of the interview-based art piece Wolfgang Voigt - Du Musst Nichts Sagen, combined with a long out-of-print Voigt track that the connoisseur will immediately recognise. An essential document of where it all began.
