One of the hardest pulls on the seminal Coloursound, Open Space Motion (Underscores) isn’t just regarded as one of the best releases from library-funk overlord Klaus Weiss. It’s one of the very best library records ever.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs cult as it gets when it comes to library music, the Klaus Weiss sound was built on top of sometimes funky, sometimes frenetic, but always hard-hitting drums. \u003cspan class=\"caps\"\u003eAND\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"caps\"\u003eYET\u003c\/span\u003e! Open Space Motion departs from his drum-heavy approach by being completely…\u003cspan class=\"caps\"\u003eBEATLESS\u003c\/span\u003e! That’s right, the virtuoso beat smith, Mr “drumcrazy of Deutschland”, a man known for snapping necks at will, crafted one of the most horizontally sumptuous, elegantly sweeping electronic masterpieces, sans-drums, a good decade before chill-out rooms became a thing. It features organic instruments married to pulsing synth bass atop brilliantly subdued yet irresistibly funky percussion. Possessing a very special vibe, that’s at once futuristic yet cinematic, it overflows with atmosphere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe highlights – unsurprisingly – are many. The very first track – the unstoppable “Wide Open Space Motion” – is a sinister, string-fried electro bomb that rides an unrelenting bass loop. “Incessant Efforts” is more reflective, with pastoral yet probing flutes atop strutting synth chords and head-nod percussion that really swings. The heavenly, uber-kosmiche “Pink Sails” hovers over swirling neon-synthy-strings and yet more unobtrusive percussion. The beautiful “Transiency” is a dramatic piano-led underscore, its creeping unease created by patient strings, unhurried percussion and some wonderfully strident keys. “Driving Sequences” is perhaps the key tune here, and if the Detroit crew weren’t listening to this staggering piece then, well, imagine if they \u003cstrong\u003ewere\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bubbling rhythms of “Southern Mentality”, at first ominous, give way to a more optimistic vibe as the movement progresses. The lush, gorgeous “Bows” is deep-sea slow-motion magic whilst the bright-eyed “Outset” feels as fresh as the dawn, and no less beautiful. How these tracks haven’t been gobbled up by sample-driven producers is beyond us. Equally calming is the sweeping majesty of “Constellation”, again conjuring images of being at one with and fully beguiled by the wonders of nature, of space, of underwater worlds. “Changing Directions” is another fidgety, propulsive non-Detroit beatless bomb.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs with all our library music re-issues, the audio for Open Space Motion comes from the original analogue tapes and has been remastered for vinyl by Be With regular Simon Francis. Richard Robinson has brought the original Coloursound sleeve back to life in all its metallic silver glory.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e2022 re-issue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e140g vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eMastered for vinyl with audio from the original tapes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e BEWITH114LP -Artist-Klaus Weiss\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInternal ID: JIT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat Detail: LP Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandling Note: **Please allow an additional 5 business days for this item's shipment.**\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Electronic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 7\/8\/22\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Klaus Weiss","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41867385307195,"sku":"EVP-4251804128056","price":30.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0375\/2873\/1707\/files\/open-space-motion-underscores-coloursound_15DEP.jpg?v=1777437820","url":"https:\/\/record-stop.com\/products\/klaus-weiss-open-space-motion-underscores-vinyl","provider":"Record Stop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
