Wow, that's weird, I feel almost the same with his music for "One Man and His Droid".

Damn, I've not heard that one... Well, anyway, the last they did, at least as far as I've heard, was releasing a CD/DVD-concept-art-project kind of thing by La Peste called WTCXTC. Much more experimental electronica/glitch/classic avant garde stuff than hardcore. La Peste's a big Xenakis fan...

As much as I love vinyl and loathe CDs, I'll have to agree... those records really should be available to everyone, even those without a record player. Like all the best of Acardipanes stuff, they still sound ahead of the time even today.

Don't forget Eradicator ( = E-de Cologne = Patric Catani = Candie Hank). Stella is great too, but I've never been quite as amazed by her stuff, probably because she's so straightforwardly punishing, where Poka is polymorpheus and psychedelic. The Mouse EP on Homicide from last year, though, is...

Have anyone mentioned Ubik yet? The System Overload EP is pretty great. But their album Just add People isn't all that. But the EBM-thing is the whole point... When rave arrived Germany allready was a major techno player, simply because they allready had a techno scene - clubs where they danced...

There's a die hard following in Germany too, as far as I've heard. And probably other places as well. Sound Base has a lot of new stuff in this vein still: www.sbm-online.de Anyway, I used to be really into it, always searching for the fastest, noisiest, most brutal record yet made. A dead end...

They had just celebrated their ten year birthday, and then pulled the plug. A shame, as it was one of the most consistent labels in that scene. Mark Ns Overcast-album, 3:PM Eternal, was a brilliant way to end things from him - heavy, groovy hip hop-cut up-influenced doom electro. Or something...

No no, I was just slowly beginning to buy records back then, and not even techno yet (didn't begin with that until '93). The thing is that I just love the old school rave sound so much that I buy almost everything I can find + I once got a huge load of records from someone who actually was a...

I actually bought his first LP some time ago, and yeah, pretty weak despite some good momets. But he was much more a kind of hip house thing back then. I'm thinking of stuff like Time Modem, Friends/Enemies of Carlotta, Recall IV, Klangwerk, Scrot, 9-10 Boy (Tanith), O/Cybex Factor (Martin...

Don't know, I don't know anticapella. Some examples: Antico: We Need Freedom; Tortura: Disco Damnation; Tech - Maker: Trackin' Stuff; UXO: Submariner; Double Z: Snap Tech; F15: Feel the Beat; PMW: Are You Ready to Move; RTFR: Extrasyn; MIG 23: Mig 23... The italians never really made any of...

Yeah, but most of his stuff isn't ravey at all though. His later works are some of the most static, brooding pieces of classical music I've ever heard - theatrical greek recitation and almost silent percussion and not much else... for hours!!!

No, certainly not exclusively, a huge part of these producers was actually german and italian. As for the italians, I think it was mostly professionals, who used to make italo disco and piano house, simply jumping the bandwagon - and doing it brilliantly. The german part of it is the most...

There's a lot of great stuff in this area for sure, but I think it's somehow too apologetic to talk about 'alternative' gabber, as an exception to gabber proper. For a long time I did the same, hailing the noisecore/avant gabber of labels like Fischkopf and Hangars Liquides. I still think that...

I was kind of giving up trad techno at that time, but I'd still like to recommend these, all from 95/96: Hiroshi Morohasi (double on Acacia) Nitrate (double on Labworks) Black Labs (double on Trope) Air Liquide: Sonic Weather Machine Alter Ego: Decoding the Hacker Myth Scan X: Chroma Spicelab...

Holy grail, eh? Well, I just have to tell this.... yesterday I got the Philips "Electronic Panorama" silver 4 LP-box for free!!!! A friend of mine found it in a traditional classical record collection that one of his friends father was going to throw out, and gave it to me as a belated birthday...

The Mahabharata Eraserhead Forbidden Planet Plus the music for almost everything by Jan Svankmajer and the Quay Brothers.

Hmm, I'm sure post rock would exist, but, like kraut, it would proabably be quite different - well obviously, post rock being highly influenced by kraut. It's an interesting problem, actually. A lot of the classical music I love would be very different if Beethovens symphonies didn't exist, but...

Heh heh, when I was a kid I used to record commodore 64 game tunes directly from the speaker of my brothers television with an old beat up microphone. On one of the tapes, my mother enters the room and asks a question, but just as the track is ending so I decided to keep it rather than go...

I think Berloiz and Ligeti should be mentioned too. Not sure about a personal favorite, though... I was slightly disappointed by Pendereckis Polish Requiem after I'd been blown away by the St. Lukes Passion. Do Nasenblutens Steelworks Requiem count? Probably not.

It's both. Technical innovation/revolution isn't by definition ahead of its time. If he was innovating in a way that people would only get much later, then yes, but that's hardly the case. Actually, if his time hadn't been so receptive of his technique, no revolution would have happened. Well...
