Also the known Mike Ink and a thousand other things.

Wolfgang Voigt is a worthwhile artist-- though I've only heard a small fraction of his vast output, it's probably safe to say he's Not Crap based on Gas alone. Get the feeling that I wouldn't be nearly as keen on Voigt's overtly "micro-house" fare, though (not a big fan of that style, as opposed to Gas, which is pretty much "ambient music" despite the periodic presence of a 4/4 kick).

Only own Pop and Koenigsforst but have enjoyed these records immensely. They're ideal for both active listening and as background music for when you're sick or headachy or trying to clear your mind of extemporaneous thoughts. Pop in particular is very lush and lulling.

Bleep recently issued four Gas albums available for download. The track "Pop 4" is my favorite, and probably a good introduction, along with "Koenigsforst 2".

I got the box a about a week and half ago and have been slowly getting to them.
Just put Konigsforst on for the first time.

I love this stuff. Muted kick drum anyone?

I only know Voigt's Gas recordings, and they took me quite a while to get into (I don't like 'ambient' music), but they deserve a thorough NC. I'm sure that they're going to be on constant rotation during autumn/winter.

The CD that comes with the raster-noton book is quite gorgeous too, btw.
