I agree. don't give up on bochum welt. some of his
stuff is very dry, mechanical and bleepy, and takes a
little getting used to (or maybe just isn't so hot),
but then every once in awhile there's the "magic
melodies". btw, my fave on rephlex is the xtra 12 on
the 2x12 of desktop robotics. it's out of print but
worth paying for if you find it for $20ish. scharlach
eingang (also rephlex) is of special interest because
(A) it's got an unusually kickass hardcore acid feel
(unlike any other stuff i know of by him) and (B) the
kinesthesia (cylob) remix is great. oh, and program 2
(reading this post made me get out my bochum welt
records) is great. some beautiful shit on there.
actually, tracks per dollar wise, program 2 (on
elypsia records) is a good one to start with, and very
representative of his style.

p.s., And talk about ripping off aphex, try to get
ahold of "xpherika" (a collaboration with "zenith" on
trance communications 1994) and listen to the track
"landscape"... I couldn't believe it when i first
heard it! belongs on sel ambient works 85 92 i think.
Actually, it sounds more like m-ziq doing a
particularly aphexlike track... it has percussional
sounds that are exactly like m-ziq (i don't know who
used them first but i would guess m-ziq since tango n
vectif was released in '93)... i can't remember what
track the sounds are from, but one of the first 2
albums. it's wierd.

Fortunatly it is not. I love all Gianluigi's EPs, but
this one is a
great
disppointment. Okay, I can stand 'general midi-like'
drums, but where
have
the magic melodies gone? The only track from "M&S"
that I really like
is
'star cluster'. 'Interlude' sounds like Gianluigi
tried to imitate
aphex's
Heliosphan and failed :( If you want to hear what
Bochum Welt is really
like, you should check out his releases on Rephlex
(Module 2 and
Fellings on
a Screen are the best IMO).
