One of the many projects of Wolfgang Voigt, the godfather of Cologne's dance scene, was
Gas.
The first album, Gas (Mille Plateaux, 1996), was a schizophrenic collection of both ambient and techno tracks in which the two elements were not amalgamated.
His minimal ambient techno style was inaugurated with
Zauberberg (1997) and Konigforst (1998), on which he achieved
a haunting fusion of the two elements. The dancefloor beat coexisted with
abstract drones obtained by manipulating samples of classical music and
than scarred by tiny digital noises in an atmosphere of cosmic dub.
Pop (2000) literally meant a conversion to more traditional formats.
The quadruple-disc set Nah Und Fern (Kompakt, 2008) collects all four
albums.
Gas (Raster-Norten, 2008) collects rarities.
STUDIO 1 (Kompakt, 2009) collects Voigt's minimal techno of the 1990s.
