The following pictures in that slideshow are from my latest ex-hibition @c-o-pop in cologne aug 2007. The next ex-hibition with these original prints produced at my printshop in kreuzberg during 1990 - 1997 will happen in march 2008 @ galerie tristesse deluxe in berlin.
I will do live printing and give you more information about the "pioneer techno days" of the nineties.
Good information to back up your memory.
