Review by Axis303 Jan 11, 2004
Juan was inspired by the drone of automated factories and trips down the I-96 freeway late at night, he once said in an interview.

That's why these track sound so dark and mysterious.
Rated 5/5

early dark acid type track which was the final chapter for juan and rick davis{3070}.it originally was going to be a cybotron release but due to choosing different musical paths,juan put it out on his metroplex label.original pressing mint green label/black text as pictured,was later released blue label/blue text,blue label/black text and white label blue/gold text also pictured,and i still listen to it to this day.
Rated 5/5
Review by dj2 Jan 29, 2003
I first heard the track No-Ufo's at Lost in london played by juan atkins in his set and i thought what the F**k was that track. I later read an magazine article featuring andrew wetheralls recommended classic tracks. This release on metroplex was one of his recommendations. I found out metroplex no's 1 and 2 were being re-released both containing mixes of No-Ufo's. When i heard the track again i remembered it. I couldnt beleive this track was made in 1985. I can only describe this track as a groundbreaking, futuristic techno classic engineered by a genius of his time.
Rated 5/5

this is what set it off for me. i picked this up wishing and hoping that this was the ufo track that i remembered as a kid. i could feel the electricity running through me as i dropped the needle and realized what i had just come across. no ufo's triggered my need for history. classics. roots. i purchased 2 copies and thus began my search for everything i was ever exposed too from detroit radio. this record changed my life!
Rated 5/5
Review by enfore May 05, 2002
Hardcore electro! Dark and futuristic a la 80´s.
No softness in this record. Is he descibing a nightmare or a utopia? Macine-coded beats with icecold basslines.Chilly reverbs (clinic). And a text that brainwashes you!
Far away from today´s standards.
Enfore.
Rated 5/5

"Time Space Transmat" is one of these great productions which made this kind of music big in the mid-80ies. Juan mediates us his high-tech visions in his early tracks in an incredible way.
