Genre Peak - Your Sleekest Engine [CD]

Martin Birke's original compositions began getting nationally published in 1990. His history as a drummer, keyboardist, programmer, songwriter and vocalist is in a current variety of US & European releases. Starting as a drummer in the late 70s, Martin now specializes as an electronic percussionist, composer and performer. While with the Frank Mark Arts label in Germany during the mid- to late-90s, Martin was recording and touring in the bands Casualty Park, Sandbox Trio and studio project Birke/Leykam/Panasenko. This latest album once again showcases Martin's extraordinary compositional and performing skills and also features guest performances by members of the seminal 80's electro band Japan. Absolutely sublime.
