indeed he had.
Between summer 1991 and spring 1992 Sven Väth founded the label "EYE-Q" together with his manager Heinz Roth and Matthias Hoffmann. It was divided into the two sublabels "HARTHOUSE" (for a techno/house style) and "RECYCLE OR DIE" (featuring electronic instrumental/experimental/ambient music) and the the "EYE-Q Main Label" (for everything that doesn't fit into the other catagories).

Off Suck Me Plasma I can only think of Sunbeam - Outside World and the early Dance 2 Trance releases which were important. |
I believe it depends to what you were listening in the 90's.
These I still remember from the 90's:
Final Fantasy = Komakino
Rodd-Y-Ler
York
Kai Tracid
Also, after Talla founded the record company Music Research many sub-labels appeared:
| quote: | | Bonzai Germany, Bonzai Trance Germany, Chaos Records, F-Beat Records, Fetish, Future Recordings, Influence Recordings, Komatunes, Metamatic (Germany), Mindworx Records, Music Research Special Products, New Zone, SFX, Sound Of The Supermarket, Suck Me Plasma, Tetsuo, Tripomatic Records Germany, Unreal, XTC Germany, Zoth Ommog |
Especially Bonzai and Tetsuo had some famous producers. But enough about labels, producers jumped from one label to the another and back.

That's why I said Talla maybe had a bigger contribution. I didn't look how much succes the tracks had. Other labels lateron probably had more succes. |

| Alright, Talla was bigger and earlier than I thought. However, I question what was actually played at Dorian Grey and "technoclub" up until '88-'90; how much of it was actually techno. |

Bonzai Germany was just the German division of Bonzai Belgium (founded in 1992). Music Research was had apart from that nothing to do with Bonzai. |

very little. I own the CD Technoclub vol 1 released in 1990. It's all obscure electro and stuff |

Hmm.. For a little clarity here...
A great number of Music Research tunes have been remade during the anthem era, perhaps most notably Final Fantasy - Controlling Transmission and Aqualite - Outback. Ralph Fritch (Fridge) released tons of material on that label, as well as Norman Feller (Terry Bones). There's quite a bit of history to be had with Music Reasearch but it just never got as much PR as EyeQ did because the prog house/trance DJs never played that stuff -too upbeat.
I may be a bit partial to the old Suck Me Plasma sound, though, as I gorged myself on tons of their material back when Hypnotic was releasing it with all those spiffy CD covers. |

yeah i was a big fan of Suck Me Plasma as well back in the days.
I think one of the reasons why they never got as big recognition as Eye Q is because it was very focused on the german market.
Eye Q on the other hand had a UK and US division. Which brought classics such as Café Del Mar, Vernons Wonderland, The Orange Theme etc to UK and made them huge clubhits there.
My favourite producer on Suck Me Plasma was Fridge and I totally loved Outface, even enjoyed Outface 2000. Sadly enough few people outside of Germany know about many of the Suck Me Plasma tunes. |

| Well, Hypnotic did a half decent job in bringing a bunch of them over. For a long time, my buddies and I would always look for that vintage Music Research seal, representing 'electronic purity'. |

Yes, it was the German division of Bonzai, but through Music Research Bonzai was able to get known in Germany, which was good for the scene. Bonzai in Belgium had a completely different sound (I guess darker and sometimes harder). The clubscene in Belgium (Cherrymoon, Zillion, Illusion) was well known those days. At the same time in the Netherlands the Hardcore appeared, while in Germany more Trance and Happy Hardcore.
(Bonzai itselves in Belgium was a sublabel of Lightning Records.)
But the German scene was huge in the mid 90's (and still is). Probably big enough that it wasn't really necessary to go across the borders.
I had a quick look at labels like Edel, ZYX, Club Tools and Dos Or Die:
http://www.discogs.com/label/Edel+Records+(Germany)
http://www.discogs.com/label/ZYX+Music
http://www.discogs.com/label/Club+Tools
http://www.discogs.com/label/Dos+Or+Die+Recordings
Than even Music Research looks small again.
In those days I didn't look at labels at all. To me it was what I could find in the stores. Starting with the whole Turn Up The Bass series, to Trance Nation, Trancemaster, Rave Parade, Serious Beats, Dance Opera, Octan....Belgium, Germany, UK, Netherlands everything mixed up.
It was difficult to explain someone which music you liked. It was easier to explain which you didn't (too many substyles....)
Oh, and the number of used aliases by artists didn't make it easier... |
