Model 500 - Classics

chischis, Aug 17, 2004

This, for me, along with Juans two other M500 albums around at the time (Sonic Sunset, and Deep Space), broke a few barriers. One of those first albums you listen to early in your life that says to you "this is what youve been waiting for all this time".

Cracking, quality Detroit electro-soul. Yes there are mostly remixes here, well I say - hand on heart - that they are all superior to their "original" counterparts. The arrangements on every track are far better structured and less messy than the vinyl versions.

My only quibble is that Interference and Future arent present, as these could have been placed instead of the rather atrocious, unmemorable and repetitive-as-heck "Electric Entourage" with its "chika-chik-ah!" sample overused.

Anyway, if you want to try some quality electro, this is a fantastic place to start.
