This CD is a great follow-up to the 'The New Sound Of Detroit' CD. Neil Rushton shows yet again that he can make a small 8 track compilation with under 50 minutes total and still get away with it. This record is filled with classics and rare to find gems that will forever have a place in my heart and in the hearts of many other detroit techno fans. One of my all-time detroit favourites is featured here, Octave One "I Believe", with a beautiful synth sound that is unique to detroit.
This is the stand-out track of the album for me, one of my all-time favourite Detroit techno tracks. It's a stripped, dark, bubbling, acid-tinged monster with a really deep, rolling, off-kilter vibe. Droning synth-lines float up and merge with eerie snippets of vocals, while dark, gritty breakbeats drive the whole thing along, underpinned by a muscular, surging bassline that coils around all the elements like a sea-sepent. Relentless...
True techno. A masterpiece.
