how come he doesn't get mentioned often? infact i can't
remember if he was mentioned at all. i thought he was quite
popular and stuff, although this could as well be the reason
he doesn't get mentioned :)

anyway, i think his music is pretty great. im listening to
52 spaces atm, sort of sound score thing and it's awesome.
he's got real nice ideas when it comes to live shows as
well. some years back he collaborated with some video
artist, they would travel around the world, rimbaud would
records sound and video artist would film..the theme was
they would present every city they visited to the local
crowd. i haven't seen the videos, but that album was
awesome.

He used to be quite popular, not sure if that is really the
right word though.

I used to have a copy of "spore" many years ago. Loved that
cd, no idea where it went though :(

find your way to his website, there is about half a dozen
tracks to download.

Scanner has had a strong underground following for a long
time. Back before I started hearing lots about autechre and
BOC, scanner seemed to be a pretty well respected guy, but
like thomas brinkmann and T Rauschmere, its a different
underground scene, so doesn't get much mention here.

i didn't know rauschmiere was that popular. and it's a
completly different type of music..way more party oriented.
but you probably only mentioned him as far as popularity is
concerned..same with luciano/villalobos..

different scene thing.

Scanner used to be pretty "big" when Air Liquide and Jammin'
Unit were on the go.

Whatever happened to them?

A lot of magazines seemed to think he was going to explode
in the underground sence. Never seemed to happen. Have you
heard anything outside of the radio blackout album? There is
some high quality minimal techno with neat atmospherics and
syncopations. Highly suggested.

yeah, i have most (probably everything) of his (electronica)
stuff. saw him live couple of times as well. seems to be
leaving out subtleness more on every new album. the new one
is completly boring i thought.

bob, never heard of Air Liquide and Jammin' Unit.

Early 90's ambient stuff. Quite dubby.
