en-track triple LP version, featuring a selection of the best tracks from the 2CD version. Artists on the LPs include: Schaeben & Voss, Justus Kohncke, Reinhard Voigt, Thomas/Mayer, Burger/Voigt, Jurgen Paape + Boy Schaufler, Superpitcher, Mikkel Metal, DJ Koze, Kaito. Two of the tracks (Mikkel Metal & Kaito) are entirely exclusive to this LP. Summertime at Kompakt means the release of the much-beloved Total compilation, and they're on number 8! This is the annual Total gathering/party - a showcase featuring Kompakt's shining musical moments of the past year, plus exclusive music and a peek into what to expect from the label in the future. As many Total fans know, Kompakt remains faithful to the 12" single, and the Total series serves as a hook-up to many of these vinyl releases for those who haven't had the chance to keep up with the pace of Kompakt's steady stream of music. Total 8 is the most diverse Total to date, marking a prominent return to the streets of Cologne and the musicians that were an essential part of building Kompakt's techno community. Total 8 is a pilgrimage through the best that Kompakt has to offer.
