Kompakt unveils the third volume of Jörg Burger’s Velvet Desert Music
compilation series, dedicated to music that hits the sweet spot between the
cinematic, the (pop) ambient, and the psychedelic. With Velvet Desert Music Vol.
3, Burger and his friends wander afar, taking trips away from, or adjacent to,
the dancefloor that’s acted so long as the crucible for the Kompakt
aesthetic. Like its predecessors, it’s a gorgeous, lambent collection of
late-night mood music.

Because it’s such a broad church, Velvet Desert Music admits all kinds of
new experiences, as well, with Burger looking for music that "leads out of the
desert into the velvet universe". Indeed, of all the volumes in the series, this
third instalment feels closest to an album made by a true collective. The roster
has changed, with new contributors Flug 8 and Seb Martel, both with his trio Las
Ondas Marteles and with Chocolate Genius and Zsela as La Finca, joining regulars
The Novotones, Mount Obsidian, The Golden Bug, Paulor and Sascha Funke.

Burger himself reappears, too, alongside Fritz Ackermann (of The Novotones), Max
Würden and Thore Pfeiffer, in The Velvet Circle. Their contributions are pure
lush life electronica: “Our Tribe” hitches a ride with a low-slung
groove, flickering psychedelic reels of acoustic guitar traipsing across moody
bass and taffeta layers of drone; their opening remix of Flug 8’s
“Puerto Rico” gently introduces the album with softly tangling
electronic tones, while guitars, drenched in reverb, pirouette in the
background. A Mount Obsidian remix of “Sacrosanct” by
Burger’s The Black Frame -project is a swirling treat for the ears.

La Finca’s electronics and voice miniature, “What Clouds
Say”, is a masterclass in poetic restraint; Martel’s “Dark
Mambo”, remixed by Burger, is one of the collection’s big
surprises, for it indeed does what the title says, a drifting, surrealist take
on the mambo form, full of pensive chords, rich with unrequited longing, a
breathy saxophone whispering under the song’s sly rhythmic carriage.

Elsewhere, The Novotones chime in with a slyly propulsive, Krautrock-esque
charmer, “Liberty Bell”, and the guitar-led tone-drift of
“Valley of Oblivion”; Paulor’s “The Last Coke in the
Desert” is a chiming, lilting dreamscape; Mount Obsidian are joined by
vocalist Charlotte Jestaedt for two modern takes on early-hours art song,
“Marole” and “Fade”; Sascha Funke’s
“Mathias Rust” is a lavish dancefloor dream, vocal samples drifting
through the song as it slowly envelops the listener in its opulent radiance.

This is just a taste of the rich pleasures of Velvet Desert Music Vol. 3, a
triumph of a compilation that takes the psychedelic visions of its predecessors
and looks for the desert within, a dusty kiss, a road-movie hallucination
flickering on the listener’s eyelids, a cinematic projection from deep
inside the mind.
