Review by hypogenetic Nov 27, 2005 (edited over 6 years ago)
In my home town of Brisbane, Australia, we have a commercial area called Metroplex, which is on Metroplex Avenue off of Terrace Place, turn left off Industrial Drive. I would have to guess and say the developer of that estate was into Front242, Stefan Robbers and Juan Atkins.

I wouldn't blame him, brilliant artists, all influenced by Juan Atkins and Metroplex no doubt. I myself have a severe djing infliction....I can't help myself and always end up playing a Metroplex record or two...or three! Thanks Juan!
