Just got an excellent new cd by Cologne's own Bionaut
called "Friends" and it contains 15 tracks including remixes
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 ½ of
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
- (i wish i was) tied to bertha
- wild horse annie (res. edit)
- student bashing on mars (mouse on mars remix)
- wild horse annie im parageleiterfluchtflug (schlammpeitziger remix)
- electric campfire (in a real ackermann style)
btw: the track on this release entitled "good-bye-onaut" (and
the inside art of the jewel case also states "good-bye-onaut.")
tells an interesting story.
Word on the street has is that the recent founding of the Popular
Tools Organisation by Mr. Bionaut proper was sparked by ill
dealings w/a certain revived EMI-funded/Cologne-themed electronic
subsidiary, and that this release was conceived as the means to end
an obligatory contractual engagement, that of the legal right to the
name 'The Bionaut.' (Story courtesy of Hrvatski)
btw: also recommended is the recent Modernist: Miss New Deal
cd on the aforementioned Popular Tools Organization label.
