Definitely the best if not one of the best electronic music albums out there. Although Joris Voorn hails from Netherlands, this album has been clearly inspired by detroit techno innovators of the early 1990s. Lush deep house and techno sounds, that remind me so much of the older golden days of detroit. Joris Voorn is brilliant for reviving the 'second wave' of detroit techno, something that is definitely bringing back its dividents in the eyes of many new detroit techno music fans around the world. Thank you, Joris Voorn! "Future History" is a great name to reflect this. Incident, Shining & Future History are my favourite tunes on this amazing CD.

This man and his debut album got me into techno. I listened to techno artists like Orbital but I somehow overlooked the whole Detroit/Berlin thing. Not soon after getting this album I got my grubby paws on every classic techno album I could find. This is probably due to the diversity and downright kick-ass quality of 'Future History'. First track kicks things off with a thought provoking vocal sample which I should transcribe some day. Then there's the wonderful synth washing and swooshing of 'Awakening', followed by some of the most uplifting instrumental music I've heard. The quality doesn't stop there though - the range of this album is just incredible. Electro, ambient, techno, house, no fillers just good music, and lots of it too. I think this is a future classic (or already is) and anyone should have a copy.

I must agree... I'd listened to Year of the Monkey in many sets before, and it was one of the tunes I was so glad to be getting in the double LP. But it's not just a new vocal, it's got new percussion as well... it used to be more stripped back, which is the sound I prefer.

Nice album but the vocal in 'Year of the Monkey' spoils what is otherwise a brilliant record. The CD version has no vocal so why it was added I don't know. 'Skyshopping', 'Zeronine' and 'Shining' (HH Mix) are the other stand out tunes - lovely EQ's throughout.
