Reviews & Discussion

Review by nilzmenace Apr 08, 2005 (edited over 7 years ago)
Mike Parker is an artist in every sense of the word. His minimal techno tracks are like paintings of landscapes, ever changing in front of your eyes. This man makes techno with a different mindset, each new 12" being a piece of art. The tracks are a bit slow but that really helps create a certain mood.
Unfortunately I have never had the pleasure of seeing this man perform as a dj or live.

Mike Parker is responsible for some of the deepest, most abstract techno I have come across. The textures and atmospheres he creates are sublime. For those unable to locate Geophone vinyl, the "Dispatches" CD is a great showcase of his work.
