Anyone have any biographical info on the guy behind Drome/Nonplace Urban Field, Berndt Friedmann? I know he's German, that's about all... What about his background? Is he Jewish... not that it matters, mind you, but I'm Jewish and a little interested. Reasons: 1.) Friedmann is generally a Jewish name, and 2.) (long shot!) The album name "Golden Star" could be referring to the stars Jews had to wear under the Nazis early on (before they were just killed) (well what's an alternative reason for the album name then hey?) Thanks, Peter. -- Peter Hollo "We are the future" -Future Sound Of London raven@cia.com.au "Let's get lost in intergalactic punk rock hip hop" http://www.cia.com.au/raven/ -Pop Will Eat Itself What's wrong with Mcdonald's? http://www.McSpotlight.org/

I don't know if he's jewish...i wouldn't go so far associating the GOLDEN STAR album with a possible jewish background. All i can do is point you to other releases he put out under a different name. He is also 50% of SOME MORE CRIME. SMC did 3 albums, if I remember that correctly. 2 of them, FUZZY LOGIC and ANOTHER DOMESTIC DRAMA IN A SUBURBAN HELL are highly recommended!
