In case you didn't know, The Bionaut is Jorg Burger who also records as The Modernist amogst many=20 other guises and is =BD of the Burger/Ink duo. His releases like The Modernist: Opportunity Knox=20 album or The Modernist eps Dali Bop Horizon and Orange Colored Sky are all in a similar style although with a little more focus on percussion. Moral - if you like the Life Lush Electronica album then you'll definitely enjoy the other Bionaut, The Modernist and Burger/Ink releases. >and for another great new acquisition, "koln kompakt presents michael=20 >mayer" is an outstanding mix cd showcasing kandis, sweet reinhart,=20 >christian morganstern, herbert, some thule artists... perfect=20 >tech-house. the mix is nothing too out-there--pretty much allows each=20 >track to play out, fairly efficient transitions, no trickery. but=20 >anyone who digs the profan/karaoke kalk/kanzleramt/thule axis,=20 >especially the more tech-house (less minimal techno) side of those=20 >labels, will dig. =20 > Yes the new koln kompakt mix cd features a class group of artists mixed by M Mayer. But, did you know... There was another comp cd that came out earlier this year with the same name koln kompakt on the koln label "Kompakt." That comp featured tracks from Kandis, Studio 1, Thomas Mayer,=20 The Modernist, Dr. Walker & Freddy Fresh,=20 Tandem, M:I:5, Thomas Brinkmann, Pentax, Triple R & Emanuel, J=FCrgen Paape, OM1, and=20 Dr. Walker & M Flux. I believe all the tracks on it were previously unreleased. Both Koln Kompakt releases are well worth having. Regarding Michael Mayer, most recently=20 he is one the members of the german=20 techno supergroup Forever Sweet who just released a brilliant album on Ladomat 2000. M.
