Well I have at least five albums - Hard Normal, Feed Me, Do you know,
Go Plastic, Selection.
I am well aware of where he comes from, musically, as I know the work
of Wheather Report and Jaco, and I indeed (being a rock-jazz player

Sounds great even though I don't know any of the acts. My two most
interesting IDM events were R. Devine and Luke Vibert (DJing) on the
Warp tour, and Funkstoerung on their regular club night here at Pathos
in Munich.
