Reviews & Discussion
Probably THE finest piece of Detroit-style techno not to come out of Detroit itself. While there is nothing genuinely revolutionary about the tracks on this album, they are so carefully and perfectly crafted that it doesn't matter. Aril has a great sense of melody and knows how to make smooth sounding tracks that glide along without losing the soul that defines the very best Detroit Techno. The fact that he can integrate these intricate, slightly spiky little drum patterns with some fantastic lush synth melodies are what makes this so special. Actually, I'd rank his sense of melody in techno up there with Carl Craig's best work. Absolutely essential.
This album could have had real crossover potential had it been injected with more progressive elements to make it stand out in a crowded genre, as too many of the tracks are just not going anywhere. The best tracks like "Otill" would have made a nice EP.
This is the superior version of this CD. The version released at the same time as the vinyl removes "Read Only Memory", "On and On", and "Headhunter", easily three of the most interesting tracks on the album. There's not a boring moment here, this is pure analogue Detroit-esque techno at its best. I have easily listened to this album more than 1000 times. It is my favorite piece of recorded music in any genre.
