A long time ago in an IDM archive far, far away, Denise The Puckered One wrote:

Tonight I had reason to ask this same question. I looked in my own IDM
archives and only found 2 references to Xyphax; a track on "Dream Injection 2"
and also a track on "Dream Injection 3" as well.
I'm replying 9 months later because last weekend I bought a neat German
compilation of (mostly) Drum n' Bass stuff called "vorsprung durch drum & bass"
on the Sub Terranean (division of Euro Media) label, released late last year.
I bought it because it had a lot of the usual suspects: Rob Halford & Goldie,
DJ Rap, Ed Rush & Nico, Dom & Optical, Jacob's Optical Stairway, Omni Trio,
Squarepusher, Photek, DJ Krust, Jonny L and others. But what blew me away
the most on these 2 CDs (nice fold-out cover and graphics, too) were the
non-big names: one being Xyphax ("Treplec" - "licensed from Westcom GMBH"),
as well as a Chaos & Julia Set track ("Learn To Fight" - goddamn, can Mark
Pritchard do no wrong? Where the phuque do I find Chaos & Julia Set output)
and somebody else called Intense ("First Contact" - "licensed from Vibe'z").
So I repeat PUCKERED1's previous plea: Anyone know more about this Lui Krueger
person and their Xyphax project? Or Intense?
(Sorry if this is more Breaks list than IDM list related)
ObIDM: Also kicking my ass is the first CD of "State Of The Nu-Art 2". But
damnit, why'd they have to ruin it with the lame Rap tracks? Arggh.
Maybe CD 2 will be different ...
