The Scanner release you have is on the German
Rastermusic/Noton label. It is part of a series of
twelve 20 minute eps released once a month
leading up to the millennium. The Scanner 20' to
2000 ep is number 8 in this series. For more info
on this series of releases visit the Rastermusic/
Noton website at: http://www.raster-noton.de/

Scanner is a male producer from Battersea UK.
His name is Robin Rimbaud. He has been releasing
music since '93 (or at least that is when i bought
my first scanner cd) on a variety of labels
including Ash International, New Electronica,
Sub Rosa, Force Inc, Primitive, Staalplaat,
Earache, Rastermusic, Soul Static Sound and
his own Sulphur imprint. His sound has
developed from dark minimal borrowed & treated
cellphone eavesdropping that welcomed listeners
to a world of haunting experimental voyeurism to
his most recent works that now showcase his
talents as an electronic music producer as well
as a procurer of "found sounds."
