COME TO DADDY !! RICHARD JAMES a.k.a APHEX TWIN .. the Irish madman of Electronic music and Acid Bass Propagator. Early 90s set APHEX TWIN eons ahead of electro artists of the time ! Creator of the ANALOGUE BUBBLEBATH & SELECTED AMBIENT WORKS. A teenage prodigy of the ATARI Sampler, Roland TR808/909 & TB303, Aphex composed ambient techno music at the age of 13 - A collection of "over 100 hours" of unreleased music, which he programmed on the ATARI Sequencer and his own software written to generate noise and sfx! Aphex was intune with deep algorithmic processes which automatically generate beats and sequences of analog sound ! In this process he experiences synesthesia ! and he is able to incorporate lucid dreaming into the process of making music. Or so we understand when we hear his very avante garde Ambient Works a decade later on WARP records. APHEX TWIN continues to freak the electronic music world time and again !

Kraftwerk was founded in 1970 by Florian Schneider-Esleben (flutes, synthesizers, electro-violin) and Ralf Hütter (electronic organ, synthesizers). The two met as students at the Düsseldorf Conservatory in the late 1960s, participating in the German experimental music scene of the time. Although it is heavily downplayed, Hütter and Schneider were keen ..ing to create a new and positive cultural identity in post war Germany. The Kraftwerk sound combines a driving rhythm section with catchy, synthesized melodies and harmony - mainly following a classical style of arrangement accompanied by simple lyrics which are sometimes sung through a vocoder or generated by computer speech software. The Moog synthesizer & Prophet 5 dominate the majority of sound in Kraftwerks' music. Late 1970s and the early 1980s, the Kraftwerk sound was revolutionary for its time, and it has had a lasting impact across nearly all genres of modern popular music. Critical fame and the influence from Kraftwerks music and sound continues till date ..
Michelle Lynn Johnson (born August 29, 1968 in Berlin, Germany), better known as Meshell Ndegeocello, prolific and politically motivated singer, songwriter, bass player & multi-instrumentalist. Ndegeocello has had numerous name changes. She adopted the surname Ndegeocello, which means "free like a bird", while still in her teens. Some outlets also state her birth name as Mary Johnson. Meshell Ndegeocello is pronounced MEE-shell n-deh-GAY-o-chel-o. Ndegeocello is bisexual, and was a longtime lover of writer Rebecca Walker - their relationship ended in 2003. Ndegeocello suffers from photosensitive epilepsy and is susceptible to seizures induced by flash photography when performing live. Her music spans from plantation inspired soul, rhymes, blues, Motown funk, Rap to almost every sub genre of black afro sounds and forms. Travelling the traditions of Marcus Miller & Jaco Pastorius in her unique style of electric bass. In collaboration with producer and programmer David Gamson, the sound of her music is very stylised (sampled beats/synthesizers/bass juxtaposed with organic instruments and a very motown sense of groove) - yet retaining an earthy feel and flow. Lyrically outspoken and often harking to the negro apathy and the black struggle in america, her sound has evolved time and again. Her music has been featured in a number of film soundtracks including How Stella Got Her Groove Back , Lost & Delirious, Batman and Robin, Love Jones, Love & Basketball, The Best Man, Lost and Delirious, Higher Learning and Down in the Delta .. Queen of the Urban Soul Bass Station !
