"Between 1990 and 2008, Thomas P. Heckmann produced and recorded several hundred tracks, released countless singles and CDs and made his name in techno/electro/minimal/industrial/EBM/ambient/acid and so on, but this series on FAX consists of the tracks that, for whatever reason, were never released, but were favorites of Heckmann and the people around him. TPH: 'Sometime in the mid '70s I got hold of some electronic albums from my father's collection and was soon absorbing the atmospheres and sounds of early Kraftwerk, Pink Floyd, Jarre aso. At some stage I wanted to know how the hell they did all this and what instruments they used. And on the back of Jarre's Oxygene and others there were things written like Moog, EMS, ARP, Eminent, but in those days there were only a few places were you could see, let alone touch them... especially for a 7 year-old kid. The rest is history and all I can say, that a little kid's dreams came true for me and the results of insane collecting and producing music for myself is contained on this volume II of my Lost Tales series of unreleased recordings from 1991 to 2007."

Thomas P. Heckmann is one of THE pioneers of electronic music. After he started DJng in 1983, he released his first EP in 1991. In the course of the following years he produced quite a few acid tracks à la Underground Resistance. Later on he got more into techno-house and produced track after track, was engaged in project after project. He has released under various aliases on labels like Force Inc, Labworks, Mute, Djax-Up-Beat and his own labels AFU and Trope Recordings music. Always in search of new sounds, he constantly comes out with something fresh that pleases both the underground scene and the techno mainstream. Heckmann now honors BPitch Control with dance tracks that are hypnotic and dark, with interwoven and weird sounds that drill the straight beat into body and soul.
