 Anton Zinkl is German synthesist born in 1960 who is often refered to as techno-influenced EM musician. Well, I've heard parts of Dance Music For Insects and it's simply great stuff. Very original and interesting music that is highly recommended. I cannot see the techno connection whatsoever. I admit that maybe some of his other works (that I haven't heard) are more techno-ish. In any case, it is quite clear that we are dealing with real talent, not just another amateur or Schulze wannabe. Anton Zinkl started experimenting with electronics in the 1970's, using a Farfisa organ and processing devices. The 1980's were devoted to playing with a band before he resurfaced a decade later as a solo musician and started releasing his music on CD. - http://pugachov.ru/eem/zfram.html Zinkl likes to include the “historical” keyboard instruments from the early days of prog (such as the Hammond organ, the Mellotron and the Minimoog), but incorporates above all modern synthesizer, sequencer and percussion sounds. He has a special preference for the sound of the xylophone, carillon and tuned glasses. His new album “Cockaigne” presents an exciting sound expedition through twelve tracks and best makes an impact when listened to intently as a suite in one piece. The music invokes images in the listener’s mind, and it is not unintentional that the graphic album design is somewhat reminiscent of ELP’s “Pictures at an Exhibition”. However, the pictures, drawings and collages on Zinkl’s album cover were created by himself – in the 1970s. Zinkl’s instrumental “Chamber Prog” – inspired by the classic progressive art rock – was produced electronically; the predominantly rhythmic music contains catchy melodies, is very imaginative, and the moods fluctuate between gloomy, jovial, melancholic and bizarre.
