If I'm thinking of the right guy, his work is really dubby, downtemp, bass heavy; in the likes of Kruder & Dorfmeister... if that's him.

i dont know what kind of music he does now, but in the 80s he worked a little with PiL (public image limited), which was john lydon's project after the sex pistols and post-punk like. he also worked with jah wobble, who did some work with PiL in the earlier days.

i have no idea what his music is like now, but the things i have heard i would almost classify them as experimental.

He's a bass player, he's done all kinds of stuff. Dub..ambient..funk. you name it.
I haven't heard that much of his music, but I can recall some of his famous collaborations with Pete Namlook and Klaus Schulze on a couple of the "Dark Side of the Moog" cds, and with a bazillion other artists in all kind of genres.
He produced an album for Herbie Hancock long ago (I think it was his breakthrough, around '80 I think?), remixed Bob Marley..

Here's a link to his rather extended discography: http://www.turning-groove.de/DiscoLaswell.html
I thought Pete Namlook had a big discog, but this one ain't bad either.. mah000sive
