i will agree that 'rocket no. 5' is quite unique with that trumpet bit;
can't say i've heard anything like that from a minimal/dub techno track.
but for my money, i prefer 'rocket no. 4' ...a very nice groove
there...reminds me a lot of scsi-9. having said that, i think -- overall --
the rocket in dub sound falls closest to scsi-9 in terms of the playful dub
melodies over the tight bassline formula. but scsi-9's stuff on force
tracks, especially, are more user/club friendly than any of the rocket in
dub material.

catalogue?
i'm no italic expert, but here are my 2 pesos...
as you pointed out, about half of the catalogue is, indeed, produced by mr
schwander. his other main project, antonelli electr., veers more toward the
experimental, micro/clicks'n'cuts style...but still keeping somewhat of a
4-4 clickhouse beat to it. one element i find common to all his material is
the playfulness of his melodies and willingness to throw something a little
different at the listener...at unexpected times. i'm sure you hear this on
the rocket cd, in addition to 'rocket 5'. i'm not sure why, but i find a
slight slight element of lounge to his music. so if that floats your boat,
seek out the antonelli electr. stuff.
aside from schwander, the other italic release i would recommend without
reservation is the sustainer lp, 'cuántico' (italic 030, 1993) -- made by
some bloke from spain. if you have any leaning whatsoever to the classic
basic channel/maurizio/chain reaction order of things, then you should give
this one a whirl asap. it's a little tigher (less atmospheric/less flowing
and more steppy/housy) than the standard "13 minute epic" format of
maurizio, but it's still very good and works well with other tracks in a
mix.

well, if you've been through trapez/traum/force tracks, then you know all
about scsi-9 (i would hope). if you're after more 4-4 dub-style stuff,
check these:
dub taylor: forms & fugures (raum)
dub taylor: shoptalk (morris/audio)
scsi-9: from cover to cover (morris/audio)
qads: muchacho (raum)
michael langlois: untitled (raum)
gustavo lamas on onitor
jirku/judge on onitor
otherwise, for a less 4-4 approach, try echocord; mikkel metal is The man.
i look forward to other comments on this.
