Reviews & Discussion

Review by Joju Oct 31, 2005 (edited over 4 years ago)
Technicolor is very percussive electro, with Magic Juan getting very carried away with vocal samples (t-t-t-t-technicor!) old-skool orchestral stabs, a very detroit bassline, and a sequencer riff lifted from Kraftwerk's It's More Fun To Compute. It's a rich mix, but he gets away with it.
Rated 4/5
Review by z99 Apr 27, 2005 (edited over 4 years ago)
this is a special one for me. first heard it ~1990 before knowing what techno is, loved back then and just recently rediscovered:: an organically-robotic tune standing the test of time, really dynamic and broken, yet retaining moving funkyness hidden within bassline, teh-ni-ka-la!
Rated 5/5

Originally came out as a PROMO.Quality early Electro/Techno from the master himself,and co-written by Doug Craig (Carl Craig's cousin.)This is on the same sort of lines as R9 (CYBOTRON)with the trademark bassline that he's used so often in his early material.
