Essential listening for fans of experimental electronic music
Somehow, I have never even heard of Wolfgang Voigt and his work as "Gas", before I came across this set. As a major techno fan, I tend to buy most everything on the Kompakt label.

Visionary Ambient Dub Techno
Wolfgang Voigt is one of the cofounders of the German techno imprint Kompakt, and if you're familiar with its glistening electronica (a dominant and defining force this decade) you will grab this remastered boxset.

Nah Und Fern is one of the boxsets of the year, and one of the greatest electronic releases of this decade.
