Susanne Brokesch is responsible for Sähkö 10, the (very spartan) Sil Electronics : Tal-s 12" from 1995. She then released a brilliant album on Disko B in 1997 called "Sharing the sunhat". Very minimal, with unique textures and a lot of acoustic sounds, a richer sound that builds on and improves her earliest recordings. This is a fantastic record and comes highly recommended. She also made a soundtrack for a fashion show by Sabotage Communications related designers Fabrics last year : this was released as a 12" on Ego Vacuum - www.fabrics.at.
