Global Goon is definitely the apex of techno music. He takes a long time to make an album but when he does it is truly a work of art that you'll want to listen to over and over...some bands like fantastic plastic machine put out albums almost once a year and it seems like they wear off after about a couple listens. I still have a copy of Cradle of History(which is one of the best investments in others' music that i have made) and listen to it at least once a week. Johnny Hawk is the man behind the music and he makes health music. On the back of his "goon" album the phrase "An exaltation of Health music" is perfectly fitting. He allegedly uses filters in his music that are supposed to be therapuetic to the ears, thats why it is so easy to relax and meditate on his music. I've heard of people admitting that their stress levels went down just by listening to Cradle of History, and it has nursed me through many bad acid and mushroom trips. I'd give anything this guy does five stars.
