Tried already. Hardly even got my foot tapping, and the only track I really do like, the last one, uses an (the?) old Third Eye Foundation progression, so it wasn't very effective.

Well, for one, I've been utterly unimpressed by both Burger tracks I've heard (one on Deutscher Funk as the bionaut and one as J. Burger on some random 12") - they weren't bad (liked them more than burger/ink) but I wasn't too excited either. More to the point - THAT'S what Basic Channel sounds like? I haven't heard any of it, but I was under the impression it was more similar to Plastikman - Consumed or EAR - The Koner Experiment which I thought were pretty spiffy (hence I wanted to buy BC stuff). So please, if Monolake/BC/Maurizio/etc sound like burger/ink, someone tell me so I don't waste my money. --- the humble abbott arthur purvis set his hand hereto

This album sounds like 90% burger and about 10% ink. If you like this album look for the follwing releases by burger. the bionaut " friends " the bionaut " lush life electronica" on harvest The modernist " mrs. new deal " popular this should get you going in the right direction....
