Pop

Pop is the fourth album by German producer Wolfgang Voigt's Gas project, released in March 2000 by Mille Plateaux. Influenced by LSD experiences in a German forest and wanting to create a "pop sound" for his subculture of German techno, Voigt's music as Gas is characterized by looping layered orchestral samples over a bass drum, with his early work having somber atmosphere. Pop departs from this ambient techno sound in favor of ambient music that utilizes brighter musical elements with an emphasis on texture. Critical reception of Pop has been generally positive, with some publications listing Pop among the best albums of the 2000s. After the release of Pop, Voigt put Gas on hiatus for seventeen years until the release of Narkopop, with Pop being reissued as part of the box sets Nah und Fern and Box during this time.
