Yes! These are excellent tracks. This is a "best of" compilation of his
work, although it excludes some of his early material like the blue 12" &
"frugivore" (which honestly does sound a bit dated).The Bionaut is somehow
understated but should appeal to fans of kolner musik. Burger is more
"pop" as the Bionaut; minimal, but with intricate melodic development.
Also, check out "Lush Life Electronica" which is one of my favorite
albums--I easily listen to it twice a week. The Johnny Cash stuff ("i wish
i was tied to bertha") is quite an accomplishment.
The Modernist is more housey, but still has the same feel. The
full-length, "Opportunity Knox," is not to be missed either.
