The New York connection is Kahn, a Turkish born German who've I've heard
referred to as 'walker's brother'.  He records as Kahn, 4E and others I
can't remember right now.  Mainly distorted, downtempo stuff.

There are a few other members of the 'Air Liquide' posse, including
Frank Heiss, J. Burger, Strobocop and more.

I've got (I think) just about all the releases this collective group
have put out (around 70 records + 20 CD's?) and just about all of it is
top notch.

If you want to check out some interesting live stuff (on that NY tip!),
look for The Liquid Sky Adventure Series.  There's a few volumes out and
they all feature many combinations of all these people playing live in
Cologne.

peace out,
