Reviews & Discussion
Donnacha's Colorseries records are some of the best techno I've heard since the Artificail Intelligence series. Each one has a feel all it's own and a groove most producers can't even touch. The "feel" of dancing at 2am in a warehouse or driving home at 7am, is captured on each of these wonderful releases. These songs are in the spirit of Speedy J/Plastikman/LFO and all the original Warp 12"s. I would like to thank Mr. Costello for letting me relive these nostalgic moments.
