I've heard that the music of Quarkspace is similar to classic Tangerine Dream, Schulze, Tim Blake and such, but I personally have a slight suspiction that they are far more Rock-oriented than is usually believed. Something in the Hawkwind vein maybe? Some of their works feature vocals. The 'Spacefolds' series consists of completely instrumental compositions.

After being a radio host for several years with his own EM show "Kosmofoon" (where, among other artists, some of his own works were featured), he issued his first LP in 1988. His music is in typical "Berlin School" style, albeit more melodic, with sequencer passages and lots of atmospheric sections.
