Title: Hermann Kopp
Post by: FreakAnimalFinland on December 03, 2010, 08:28:08 PM
how is the 1st and 2nd LP compared the rest of discography?
How's Keine Ahnung?

I have pretty much all others and since youngster when I had the pleasure to see the notorious Nekromantik, I felt his music was unique and excellent. It took until probably mid 2000's with the VOD release, that I realized that the soundtrack stuff was merely one thing, and he had been actually making music without film. All the recordings before that what I had bought, was just Nekromantik soundtrack variations, without even paying attention who actually made the music.
Utterly haunting, bizarre and morbid musik! Essential.

Galakt Horrö just put out 4 track 7" which doesn't lose in discography. At his best, Kopp must be in the death obsessed viola works. Often driven through moog to give unnatural and eerie wibe.

The soundtrack he did for Derr Todesking is beautiful:-

His soundtrack work is available as a CD called 'Nekronology' which I highly recommend.

i'm a huge fan of his output. really looking forward to hearing the new 7" galakthorro. i've meaning to hunt down some of his very early works but the prices are somewhat exorbitant on discogs.

I remember asking someone about the VOD LP & they said it wasn't like anything on the Nekromantik sndtrk. I love the LP on GH & hope to get the 7" if it's not priced sky-high. I have the Nekro.2 dvd boxsert that comes with cd sndtrk. I think it has parts of Der Todesking too.

If GH can sell out 500 before it's released, it's rather annoying they can't do 800-1000. I guess they're taking pre-orders to pay for pressings...?

I got about half of copies of new vinyls which I ordered. And I ordered about 20 mins after promo mail. New Haus Arafna was little over 900 copies, while previous LP was 1500?

VOD LP is much more electronic and probably more to his roots in minimal electronic music, than soundtrack stuff. But it is decent release nevertheless. I do have Nekrology CD (red stream), but also Nekromantik CD on swedish label and LP on someone else. And the VOD LP.  I don't have "Kitch" (individual VOD), but not sure, but have feeling it is still available? Wasn't it lathe cut made upon orders?
