I second june's comment. Herbert live is an experience not to miss. I think
that when using the name Herbert he plays house (with many influences) and
when playing as Radio Boy he performs some of his more experimental stuff
described by june. I've been lucky enough to see him under these two names,
and they are both very different, but both very good. Even if you don't like
the music, just seeing the show he puts on is very interesting. BTW, I
really like his remix of Le Tone's Joli Dragon.

yep. Herbert si a great and talented producer ; i think he's got this
human touch which gives deeeeeep groove to electro-sometimes even techno
sounds, and i think it's not that often, uh? i wasn't that much into "around
the house", cause i think it's pretty linear all LP long, but, yes, indeed,
it's far better than many stuff in the so-called same style.
>How many LP's does he have anyways?
i dunno. the only thing is that this guy done lots of stuff, on many
labels, under many alter-egos as Dr rockit or radio boy.
check out a pretty decent website:

oh yeah, and i saw herbert LIVE (and i mean, really really live), 3 times in
2 years ; never the same shit, even if still the same concept ; more a
"performance" than a "classic" (sigh...) live, sampling directly noises from
boiling water, metallic stuff fallin on the floor, his clothes makin'
rhythmn.... experience at its best!
peace & respect!
june
