Uh, Carsten Nicolai is inept and hardly a 'giant' of electronic music.
He knows nothing about music, and least of all electronic music.

This is a lie outright: those three have performed live together
at least on two occasions. Nor are those three 'leading lights'.
More like cheap ripoffs.

No he doesn't–and onw doesn't even need to bea round him
'making his music' to know this.

No, HE didn't. The award was given to the 20' to 2000 project
which involved 12 individual artists.

There is nothing 'remarkable' or 'collaboratory' about what these people
do. Nor do they know anything about 'perception' and 'techology'–
besides being pseudo-fans of artists who have done work in the area
before them, and cheaply mimicking their work.
