speaking of ffwd

i didn't realise until i read the allmusic bio, but thomas fehlmann was a contributor. if you haven't heard his stuff, i highly recommend visions of blah on kompakt. he's been a frequent orb collaborator, most notably on okie dokie it's the orb on kompakt. he was also involved with sun electric, though i don't know if he had much to do with the music. good stuff. now he's all old:

edit:
after reading his bio at his official site (flowing.de) it looks like he's the reason pomme fritz and orbus terrarum sound similar to ffwd. he was heavily involved with the recording of all three.
