Links to Peel[]
An avid listener of Palais Schaumburg, when the group split and members did their own materials, Peel kept his interest in some of them including Holger Hiller and Thomas Fehlmann. After giving airtime to recordings as Readymade for the WAU! Mr. Modo label of the Orb in the early 1990s, Peel played some tracks of Fehlmann between 2002 and 2004, especially from his Visions Of Blah album.
