The Frankfurt, Germany, producer's recording career began in 1989 with Force Legato's "System," and first began to blossom in 1992. He was recording for a number of labels at the time under a host of monikers. However, it was the Quicksand 12" released on Harthouse Records under the name Spicelab that became Lieb's first big success. A year later, in 1993, he had another successful release, "Fragile," this time on the Superstition label under the name L.S.G. Where the Spicelab tracks are epic, dark, and a bit ambient, the L.S.G. tracks are more dancefloor-orientated and more melodic -- essentially the prototype for late-'90s Hooj Choons-style trance. Lieb released little music under his born name, one of those few releases being the 1994 Constellation full-length. He began using his born name more frequently once he became widely known, beginning with "Subraumstimulation" in 1999. ~ Jason Birchmeier
