Gas Biography
Besides the wealth of chiselled echo-techno he's recorded as Mike Ink, M:I:5, Love Inc. and Studio One, Berlin producer Wolfgang Voigt released several albums of more expansive music as Gas. Voigt debuted the project with the Modern EP on his own Profan Records in 1995, then released Gas two years later on Mille Plateaux. In contrast to his previous work's stark austerity, the Gas LP presented tracks of murky ambience with even murkier percussion. Zauberberg followed in 1998, and two years later Voigt returned with Pop. [See Also: Burger/Ink, Mike Ink, Love Inc.] ~ John Bush, All Music Guide
