Reviews & Discussion

Rated 5/5
Review by enfore May 01, 2002
The climax of the first electrowawe in the 80´s.
Derrick May turned the early technoscene to a organic direction one year after "Testing 1-2". And the track got forgotten.
As the other early Model 500 tracks, this is heavy machine-coded electro. Frantic and sharp sounds together with a"typemachine" rhythm.
Yes! You must use the word machine many times to define it.
Testing 1-2 sounds machines singing under a programmers pict. Enfore.
