Tjeknavorian is terrific in this admirable tour de force along the most representative works of this unforgettable colorist composer Aram Katchaturian (1905-1978). I thought that the last word in The Suite Gayaneh came from an old vynil recording of Efrem Kurtz the New York Philarmonic in those fifties, but I still remember how wondered I was when I listened this version thanks to a friend who love the Russian music.

The Network Media Cooperative (Network Medien-Cooperative) was founded in October 1979 – by April 1990 we had already issued 19 titles, at the time as audio-cassettes with a comprehensive booklet in a small package that looked like a chocolate box. The covers and layouts were produced using Letraset on a light-table installed over a bath tub. Among those first records were the musical themes that were to preoccupy us for 30 years: an extensive document of the “Gypsies Music Festival”; meanwhile the music of the Roma has been documented on numerous Network CDs, including the anthology “Road of the Gypsies” (often copied but never achieving the same level). A double musíccasette packet was devoted to cult music from Haiti and the sounds and life philosophy of the Rastafarians in Jamaica. Recording trips were undertaken, among others, to Cuba, Trinidad, St. Lucia, and Curacao, but also to Latin America, Brazil, Argentina, Ecuador, Venezuela, Colombia, Belize. We also approached the music worlds of Africa in our portrait of the South African pianist and vocalist Dollar Brand (today Abdullah Ibrahim) and in the first studio recordings of Soukous music. These were followed by trips to Liberia, Senegal, Mali, Tanzania, Zanzibar.

MDB began performing as a Radio DJ in 1995, but the music has interested him since he was 6. MDB's child toys were tapes and decks. He was impressed by artists such Jean Michel Jarre, Mike Oldfield, Kraftwerk. Also Ben Liebrand influenced him deeply. In 1991 he discovered electronic styles like trance, rave and techno. ( L.A. Style - James Brown Is Dead; Guru Josh - Infinity) He is also immensely passionate about ambient-chill music. At this time he focused on the soften part of the trance and his new project "Beautiful Voices" has been a spectacular succes. MDB about himself: "I do not want to insist on me, but on the sets themselves. I don't intend to compete with any other DJs. I am not interested on being on the 20,000th place in any official DJ list so please: DON'T VOTE ME ON ANY DJ LIST! Instead please offer your appreciation to all the artists found in my sets. Support them by buying their products and voting for them on those DJ lists"
