Re: [313] Agent Cooper/ Pacou
What else can you say, its Pacou. Pacou is Pacou! Biography Born in Berlin 1972, where he cites his earliest musical inspirations from Pop radio during the 80´s; Pet Shop Boys, Art of Noise, Depeche Mode, etc. Some specialist radio shows, like Kiss FM (Berlin) and Studio 89 featured mix tapes fresh out of New York combining Disco, House, Miami Bass and Pop: mindblowing to say the least at that time. During 1990 and 1991, the new European club subculture was suddenly underway and the first sounds of Techno gripped Berlin like no other. Studying engineering and economics by day, Pacou indulged in the nocturnal acid/techno circuit in the early Berlin clubs Quartier, Planet, and Tresor, hearing the likes of Underground Resistance, Todd Terry and local legends Basic Channel from Hard Wax. Pacou started buying records in 1991, developing a fierce vinyl appetite that turned into equipment purchases by 1993. His occassional Tresor club spot turned into a DJ residency in 1995, maintaining an intense Tresor club night called Headquarters: the weekly showcase for Berlins lesser-known but quality underground DJs. Simultaneously working on his own productions suddenly gave way to the vague series of Pacou dubplates and white labels filtering through the club. Catching the ear of the Tresor Record label: the next step in the relationship became Pacous Reel Techno-entitled debut EP in late 1996. Live performance and DJ obligations allowed Pacou to continue his work with the Headquarters night until 1997 which marked the release of his debut album, Symbolic Language. This opened the floodgates for a slew of subsequent releases by Pacou, his a.k.a agent cooper, and The X-Men Berlin; the amorphous Berliner project of which Pacou was amain force within. In a town where virtually everybody seems to be a producer or DJ, Pacou followed up the popularity of his Tresor debut with his second full-length album No Computer Involved. A deeper focus within his sound and ideas, it broke from the traditional'banging eight-track format, to be understood as a soundtrack for the present Berlin Technoscene. Each track was created with entirely different studio setups, and without the aid of a computer. Break the rules of the environment, build up the network. Having by this time entirely broken away from the illusion of the typical ob/paycheck cycle, Pacou launched LL Records in 1998 to supplement his flood of output and demand abroad. Spending extensive time on tour in South America, Japan, Australia and both Western/Eastern Europe widened Pacou's vision to the global scenes, both modern and primitve, and inspired his A Universal Movement EP of February 1999. A little less than a year later, Pacou's career third album is due out. Entitled State of Mind, it will reflect a much more dancefloor-oriented work than No Computer Involved. Seeking to escape the temporary anddisposable DJ-tool stereotypes, and return to more timeless and song-based structures, State of Mind jams the standards with straightup sophistication and simultaneously kickdown Techno. excerp: http://www.tresorberlin.de/america/index.html [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Struck by that amazing label that is Vertical Form, I have been on a mission to uncover the identity of the mysery artist Agent Cooper, from VF 002 Rapaciolli/ Agent Cooper split.

Re: [313] Agent Cooper/ Pacou
Just as an addidtion to all this info: Pacou was spending some time here a couple of weeks ago and told me that now he gave up using expensive studio equipment and such, so from now on he will compose using just a computer and virtual synths / virtual samplers. He showed me a track he had just put together using this new setup, and it was pretty good... but he said that that one was just an experiment, so it won't be released []s schild by the way, check out: www.pacou.de On Tue, 6 Jun 2000 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Struck by that amazing label that is Vertical Form, I have been on a mission to uncover the identity of the mysery artist Agent Cooper, from VF 002 Rapaciolli/ Agent Cooper split.

RE: [313] Agent Cooper/ Pacou
Hmm, I have to second this because I interviewed Pacou some time ago and he clearly stated not being a big fan of software. He's an hardware kinda guy. I even asked him the question what his point of view was on software and he said he only used software for some mastering and for the releases on Djax. If you are really interested I could always dig up the answers I got back from Pacou.
