close.. it's Ralph Hildenbeutel.

this seems to me to be a classic case of *pop music commercialism*. Sven's
looks and famed wild life make him a much more MTV-etc-friendly
personality. He also seems to have a big head about his image, like most
pop stars.

In the Trance Europe Express booklet they say that Ralph "translates Sven's
ideas, which often come in inspiration spurts, into the machines and out as
breathtakingly panoramic and spiritual strains of music." I say this is
bullshit: Ralph *IS* writing the music. The following is also from the same
interview in TEX: (Ralph speaking) "As a musician he's (SV) not playing
anything or programming but he knows how to communicate with me and I know
what he needs if he has ideas. Either he sings or does noises or whatever
to express himself" Well, it sure as hell isn't showing up on the records.
The unfortunate thing is that Ralph seems not to have a problem with
getting little-or-no credit. The guy is a genius, and SV is a camera hog.
"Accident In Paradise" should be "Accident In Paradise" by Ralph H, not
Sven Vath.
Sven Vath is about as much a musician as a guy sitting in the room with
you while you write music, and saying "Yeah, i like that."

i say we start a "bringing the truth to light about talentless Sven Vath"
campaign :)
