Rechenzentrum

Rechenzentrum (German for Data Centre) is an IDM electronic band from Berlin, Germany. It was founded in 1997 by DJ Marc Weiser and Irish video artist Lillevän Pobjoy. The film composer and sound designer Christian Conrad joined as a pure studio member and was mainly responsible for the sound of the first three studio albums. He left the project in 2004. The group made its first appearance at the Documenta 1997 festival in Kassel. In 2008, the video artist Lillevän Pobjoy also left the project, which, according to Marc Weiser's homepage, has since been called Rechenzentrum 2.0.
==Links to Peel==
Peel nominated their self titled album, 'Rechenzentrum', as one of his favourite albums for May 2000 (Peel's Record Box) and also chose their follow up, 'The John Peel Session' (interestingly, none of the titles in that album matches the session tracks recorded in August 2000), as one of his favourites for July 2001 (Peel's Record Box). He also nominated their single, 'Landschaft Nach Der Schlacht', as one of his favorites for June 2001 (Peel's Record Box).
