Rephlex are putting out a 2CD compilation of all of Bochum Welt's material for the label. As a taster there's a limited 10" sampler 'Robotic Operating Buddy'. This is early to mid nineties classic sounding electronics with a fat break beat Aphex-ish melodies and a synth that reminds me of the Gak EP on Warp. Deep warm and spacey. Hits the spot first thing this morning I tell thee. The exciting thing about this is the Heinrich Muller remix on the flip. For those uninitiated this is another pseydonym of Gerald Donald AKA Dopplereffekt, Arpanet, Japanese Telecom, Der Zyklus etc. Everything this guy touches just turns into sonic gold. His rework here is an ice cool, crisp electro cut with magical atmospherics, and gorgeous strings. This is ace.Brief biography
