I'm not sure whether these CD's are available in the US.

It's a whole set of recordings ( the last one - to my opinion the best
one - is VIII ). All having the quite promising title "The Dark Side
of the Moog".

They are the outcome of a collaboration of Pete Namlook and Klaus
Schulze and others ( eg. Bill Laswell ). The music itself is a xover
of "Berlin school", electro, drum'n bass, ambient - not everything at
the same time, of course ;-)

The instruments being used do range from analog stuff ( incl. a Moog
modular, the EMS VCS ) and the complete range of Quasimidi gear.

At club events I've seen both "old" and "young" people being quite
excited about it ( VIII is live recording at a club at Hamburg,
actually ).

Somewhat more on the "kiddie" side is "Goa Trance", a lot of those
projects being originated at Israel ( eg. Astral Projection, MFG ).
I'm not sure whether You are able to design/debug when hearing this
music ;-)

It's a lot of 4-to-the-floor drum and sequencer work and does really
work at raves (volume !).
