Hard to come by on vinyl since its initial release in 2000, "Pop" is arguably the warmest and most alluring of all of Wolfgang Voigt's albums as Gas. On this fresh vinyl reissue it sounds better than ever, thanks in part to Kompakt's decicion to stretch it over three slabs of wax rather than two. Rich in opaque, slowly shifting pieces that combine toasty ambient electronics with subtle neo-classical movement and looped field recordings, "Pop" feels like an imagined soundtrack to a Sunday morning stumble through sun-soaked forests, undulating coastal paths and a picturesque German village whose residents are yet to wake up. Which, in our eyes at least, makes it particularly alluring.
