Review by perla Dec 17, 2008
Okay, this is one of the best electronic music 12" ever. Quite an strong statement! On the one hand, black sea is a techno slap in your face, a tour the force, what a track! You play this in front of a crowd and you got it all. Extremely strong track, perfectly crafted and with superb sound design and production. It sounds full but not crowded with sounds, the mix is quite dirty in the good sense of the word. Just brilliant!
On the other hand, you have the journey home, emotional, intelligent and one of those tracks that make sense of the tittle, it really feels like in a long journey going back to your home or safe place.
What else can you ask for a 12"?

The sweetest treasures, the widest soundwaves traverse the World, from Detroit to London. The emotiveness envolved on the sweet line of synth chords, the modulated 303 loops, spacey effects and elegant beats makes us think it is possible to explain an oeuvre such as “Black Sea”. It isn’t, just because of the misteries that lie within this masterpiece that simply cannot be identified. This tune fits perfectly to the intense listener, the ones that absolutely will not accept the cheesy musical production lines or anything that do not relate the music itself with the most pure state of art. For some specialists, this is the nicest techno track ever, despite being made by the drexciyan super heroes of the electro sounds. Considered a rather a Weird And Radical Project, it was released by one of the most serious labels of electronic music: WARP.
Rated 5/5

It's a masterpiece and should be tracked down at all costs.
Very slick production and cannot be faulted on any level.
Still demands mega bucks and rightly so.. Very soulful, Emotive music that takes you to another level (Cue shockwave !) - -
