Eclectic! Tresor compilations would never be so diverse as this CD. There are very very fine examples of so many sides of techno here that it is quite hard to fully appreciate it all without many listens. The punishing Maurizio remix of "Lyot", and Hells "Red Bull" start the album off with a more schranzy feel, but 3 Phases "Das Rennen" and Maurizios own "T.T. / F. F." stray into more minimal Germanic territory. Theres more of this later with the quirky 3 Phase piece "Current 1". Rather repetitive, but hypnotic.

Then of course come the Detroit contributions. What can I possibly say about URs "Jupiter Jazz" other than its practically the epitome of Detroit Techno-soul? CLASSIC, CLASSIC TECHNO! And along with 3MB & Juan Atkins devastating "Die Kosmischen Kuriere" (a different and better mix here to the two on the "3MB and Juan Atkins" album!!). Im almost too flabberghasted to notice the other fine pieces slotted in around them: Mills "Changes Of Life" is a classic stomper, Sun Electrics edit of Illuminism is wonderful minimal-melodica, and K-Hands "Mystery" is a rather simple but energetic slab of melodic techno that nicely rounds off the comp.

Essential, wonderful techno. The only slightly poor additions here are the Noxious and Violet Micro tracks - somewhat dodgy hard tech that sound a tad dated now. But everything else rules mercilessly. Best track = CANT CHOOSE!! *brain promptly explodes*
