no mention of "lobotomie" yet?? i thought it was his biggest record
i love how the kick drum just disappears for the last what, like three minutes of it, and the acid squiggles just ratchet up and UP AND UP AND UP and i presume the DJ is supposed to be bringing in the next track to explode into efflorescence when the beeps become unmanageable

I think "Acid Phase" is his biggest record, on Last.fm it has five times as many plays as the second most popular tune, which is "Turkish Bazar". "Lobotomie" is great too, though.
Did you know that the weird bit of poetry ("the music was new, black, polished chrome and came over the summer like liquid night") sampled in "Turkish Bazar" is actually by Jim Morrison? I never would've guessed it, but one day I googled the words and found out it's from some odd spoken-word poetry album of his.

Anyone know what he's been up to since '03?
He's always been quite an enterpreneur. He has been running his publishing company (Editions Top, Tourcoing) and then in 2008 he bought a club just over the border in Mouscron (Belgium) which is now called Barocca. But it's quite hard to keep track of the man, maybe some of this is just unsubstantiated rumors.

By the way, before it was remade into Seven Days And One Week there was this:

Generation is a huge record. Possibly my favourite acid trak.Sounds brilliant in the context of Donato Dozzy's ssgs mix (Part 2, approx 10 mins in): donato dozzy live @ labyrinth 2008― sam500
