Narkopop
''Narkopop'' is the fifth studio album by Wolfgang Voigt's Gas project, the first album under the moniker in 17 years and his first on Kompakt. The album was released on 21 April 2017. Reception On the review aggregate site Metacritic, ''Narkopop'' has a score of 86 out of 100, indicating "universal acclaim", based on 14 reviews. Paul Simpson at AllMusic calls it an "evolution and refinement" of the Gas sound. Mark Richardson from ''Pitchfork'' complimented its "deeper, richer, and more luxurious sound" compared to prior Gas releases. Andrew Ryce at ''Resident Advisor'' gave a mostly positive review, but was ambivalent about its more "direct" style, noting "in this sharper relief, you can see the stitches in Voigt's usually seamless work."

Gas (musician)
Gas (stylized as GAS or G A S) is the main musical project of German electronic music, electronic musician and composer Wolfgang Voigt (born 1961). The project was created as an expressive medium inspired by his experiences with taking LSD in the :de:Königsforst, Königsforst, a German forest situated near his hometown of Cologne, for long periods in his youth. He has claimed that the intention of the project is to "bring the forest to the disco, or vice-versa". History Wolfgang Voigt began creating music under the name of Gas starting in 1995, when he released the EP ''Modern'' on the label Profan. However, he has regarded individual pieces created from 1989 onward as being part of the Gas project, marked by a compiled 2008 release under his real name. A hiatus for the Gas project started after the release of ''Pop (Gas album), Pop'' in 2000, but this concluded when in 2008, Voigt's own label Kompakt re-released all four of his Gas albums, albeit with subtle changes made to the ...

Mojo (magazine)
''Mojo'' (stylised in all caps) is a popular music magazine published monthly in the United Kingdom, initially by Emap, and since January 2008 by Bauer.

In keeping with its classic rock aesthetic, the first issue had Bob Dylan and John Lennon as its first cover stars.
