just picked up the bionaut's "lush life electronica" (harvest/eat raw
1995), and i have to say it's a stellar album. i'm assuming that it's a
reissue--or at least that's what i gleaned from bent crayon's release
sheets--but in any case, great record. shades of cologne, sun electric,
luke slater's seventh plain, autechre circa "amber".... it sounds
exactly like the title suggests. pure IDM. it any of that is up your
alley, get it.
and now my question: i'm a latecomer to the bionaut. what is his other
output like?
and for another great new acquisition, "koln kompakt presents michael
mayer" is an outstanding mix cd showcasing kandis, sweet reinhart,
christian morganstern, herbert, some thule artists... perfect
tech-house. the mix is nothing too out-there--pretty much allows each
track to play out, fairly efficient transitions, no trickery. but
anyone who digs the profan/karaoke kalk/kanzleramt/thule axis,
especially the more tech-house (less minimal techno) side of those
labels, will dig.
