A Guy Called Gerald – Tronic Jazz The Berlin Sessions

Tronic Jazz The Berlin Sessions by AGCG should be placed up-there with -Best Of Techno Albums - alongside artist releases by Aril Brikha, Robert Hood, Kenny Larkin, Drexciya, B12, As One, The Black Dog, Steffan Roberts. This is pure fusion through groovy and inspired techno with a modern retro/futuristic edge, complimenting everything in what makes techno good. A good classic use of techno across melodies and rhythms with layers of sequenced synth chords, melodic beats, funky catchy loops, with occasional subtle sounds of added hi-tech jazz all bringing together a variety of interesting musical directions using minimal(sort of!)techno as its main foundation, but with plenty of sequencing and effects across the rhythms and main melodies. Each track forms its own identity from moody to atmospheric, to groovy and uplifting, to deep and thoughful, and everything in-between - there's even a nice tribute to 808 States classic 'Pacific State' here too. Each track is well developed with a clean and beautiful sound staying firmly rooted with the intelligent side of Detroit and UK style of techno that is a joy to listen too at all times.

A album that could very well become a classic in the future - as with Black Secret Technology

Ninth album by Gerald Simpson on the label Laboratory Instinct, just four years after the release of the album "Proto Acid The Berlin Sessions" on the label. An artist steeped in music for quite some time, since the first album was born in 1989 Rham!.

A love story of the blow to the Englishman who is not his first master stroke. An album of 13 tracks that after the title of the album, should be rather quiet, soft music or jazz rather Electronics. Well, none of this, we are plunged into a rather dark techno at times tinged melody hovering.

In short, a style that immerses us in a room near Detroit Techno but both in the style of Cologne. Music that comes very well across borders, we can not really put a label on it, for your listening pleasure. For you to get an idea of what this little do you think, A Guy Called Gerald transports us without tiring the way forward for many varied musical.

At times dark, it quickly become joyful little before falling into an Acid House. Not the first album by Gerald Simpson, but if we must know well one, so start by this one before the first search.

And do not forget the first test sound "Proto Acid The Berlin Sessions" released in 2006.
