The original extended mix of Proximity Switch. Renamed by the InDisk record distributor as Accidents in Paradise in 1987. Seminal Analogue Pure that was released originally by Last Chance Records in Dortmund in 1984. And good lick to them, because we certainly didn't make any money out of this one!

Guitarist / Songwriter by heart, was in a local grungy band in the late 1980s / early 1990s. Tries to sing, drum, hit the keys and pull the bass strings as well, with varying results... 
Lately plunged (back) into digital music production with NI Maschine as well as squeezing sounds out of syntheizers, which is not only fun but really soothing!
