Just got an excellent new cd by Cologne's own Bionaut
called "Friends" and it contains 15 tracks including remixes=20
by Markus Schmickler, Mouse on Mars, Schlammpeitziger,
and F. Ackerman. For those unfamiliar with the sound of
the bionaut, he combines a deep cologne techno groove
with a quirky spacey guitar elements. If you have last
year's Burger/Ink release then you know exactly what
the sound of Bionaut is like. You see, Bionaut is =BD of=20
Burger/Ink and he also records as The Modernist amongst
other guises. Anyway, here is the info on this recent relase:
. The Bionaut: friends cd (EMI/Eat Raw/Harvest)
Tracks:
- rickenbacker elektro
- wunschmaschinenpark
- der kurze weg
- interlude w/brian
- sparring partner
- aquamarine reprise
- un buon domani fratello
- wild horse annie as herself
- weird wired world
- good-bye-onaut

- electric campfire (in a real ackermann style)
btw: the track on this release entitled "good-bye-onaut" (and=20
the inside art of the jewel case also states "good-bye-onaut.")=20
tells an interesting story.
Word on the street has is that the recent founding of the Popular=20
Tools Organisation by Mr. Bionaut proper was sparked by ill=20
dealings w/a certain revived EMI-funded/Cologne-themed electronic=20
subsidiary, and that this release was conceived as the means to end=20
an obligatory contractual engagement, that of the legal right to the=20
name 'The Bionaut.' (Story courtesy of Hrvatski)
btw: also recommended is the recent Modernist: Miss New Deal=20
cd on the aforementioned Popular Tools Organization label.
