Cybotron - Techno City Review by TK2 Apr 09, 2006 (edited over 3 years ago)

referencing Techno City, 12", D-226

This record shows an exciting tension in today's listening experience. In spite of a romantic kind of irony the music has a futuristic, utopian appeal to it. The irony must have already been there for the listener of 1984 (think also of an album like Kraftwerk's 'Computer World'). But for today's listener an awareness of things past is added to this. It is not so much an awareness of older times and art in general, but especially a recognition of the period in which this record was made. The sound of electronic music of the 1980's is nowadays tapped into from a new perspective (or it is bluntly copied). A track like 'Techno City' at the same time directs us towards the future and the past. It is however only able to do this under one condition, that it is and remains to be astonishing and beautiful music.

The 2nd label image that I've sent in is of the Promotional copy.
Ironic really, this was the one that Juan Atkins wasn't really keen on, but yet the most rare and very much sought after release from CYBOTRON (ON Fantasy.)
