The duo of Max Loderbauer and Tom Thiel released their first EP, <I>O'Locco</I>, in 1990 on Belgium's R&amp;S; oddly, their next releases were on Trevor Horn and Paul Morley's ZTT. But it was their successive releases on R&amp;S and its sublabel Apollo that cemented their reputation as restless ambient explorers; they even managed what few electronic acts ever have: a compelling live album (recorded in mono, no less, due to a technical glitch on stage). Long out of print, their music began to trickle back into circulation with <I>Lost &amp;amp; Found (1998-2000)</I>, a 2007 collection of unreleased material, and the revival of R&amp;S, which reissued 1996's masterful, jazz-flecked <I>Present</I>. Loderbauer also plays in Chica and the Folder as well as NSI, while Thiel pursued a solo career as Bus, but they reunited for a handful of live shows in 2008. - Philip SherburneAmbient Technoen720Wed, 23 Dec 2009 18:18:58 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.14327059&rws=%2Fsun-electric%2Ftop-tracks.rss Berlin's Sun Electric were among the earliest groups to adapt ambient music to a rave context, and while they never achieved the acclaim of some of their peers, they did as much as anyone to move the music beyond chill-out cliches, crafting intricately detailed, jewel-toned music that folds machine rhythms into kaleidoscopic patterns.
