Reviews & Discussion
This is some of the most unpretentious, understated and sincere music I have heard. Unfortunately this particular edition of the LP suffers from what you might call 'overly modest' mastering and/or pressing. I'd still highly recommend it - only be warned: you will need to turn the volume up pretty far!
I was completely amazed by the fact that this had been one of his earliest endeavours into the realm of electronic dance music. It is superb. I would highly recommend this album to anyone to anyone who is looking to turn new people on to this music. Desert Scores is really what it's all about. I only ever owned the re-release and found myself playing "Mad Mike Disease" (an homage to the great one) every time I touched my turntables. It's that good.
