Here was an interesting review I read and I'm almost partial to it, this album has really grown on me over this year because of how different it is from anything I've heard in this genre or from these producers. I was postponing this review until I received my copy in the mail, but I'd never though something else would dethrone it from album of the year in the meantime. But anyway it still receives one major honor: my favorite techno release of all-time. I don't really expect to have many people agreeing with me, but I've never quite heard an album in the genre as well achieved as this one. Rather unexpected since I haven't been impressed much with anything called "dub techno" so far, but for me this release sounds a lot more closer to ambient techno. Cause really it's like an ambient record and a techno record playing at the same time, each one feeding the other and making a perfect musical landscape. It's rather hard to explain why it's so good, cause when I try to analyze it deeply, it's really not all that complex music. Pretty much just repetitive loops playing over ambiance... but there's something about the feeling it conveys, the beats are so deep and with the ambiance over it (or under it if you look at it from a different angle) that it really puts this record over the top. Listening to this really brings you into another world and I have yet to hear another techno release that has moved me this much, it's on another level. You know those records that make you re-think about your whole outlook on a genre, going into territories that you never though could be reached. As you get older these get rarer and rarer, but I'm glad that once in a while it still happens to me. As for the second disc, I haven't even listened to it yet, the first is too good!

I bought this over at Detroit Treads this Movement weekend in Detroit figured I didn't need it since I had the first one on Chain Reaction. Met these dudes at Movement and heard them play this live all manipulated and funked out, it was totally awesome. Its all about those loops, I think at one point they had loop 5 mixed in with some older ambientish vainqueur track which blew my mind, what a weekend.

Your right seagater thanks for that tip! I heard Juan play and didn't know what track this was but he killed it with this jam. I even found it in Juan Atkins DJ chart. http://www.beatsinspace.net/playlists/499 Francois K just played it in his new podcast, what a beast of a release!

user: chis chis occupation: skilled musician (listen to his goa-trance-polka material on his myspace) objective: to destroy good music at all cost Keep this in mind while reading this review. This user is the black plaque of good music. To some extent I've learned a great deal from his words, if he hates it I know I'll love it. |
