Jörg Burger and Wolfgang Voigt (aka Mike Ink) are both stapes of the German ambient scene, particularly the scene focused around Kompakt Records, which Voigt is co-founder of, and their Pop Ambient series of compilations. Burger / Ink is a collaborative project from Burger and Voigt that released only one full-length album in 1998, "Las Vegas". This is some of the most gorgeous, hypnotic minimal techno around, with tinges of ambient dub and trance. Sonically, the beats and loops are reminiscent of a pulsating take on Richard D. James's palette for "Selected Ambient Works". 12 Years after its release, Kompakt released a remastered version of the album as "Las Vegas 2010", and the mix really brings out the luster of these magical tracks.
