This one had everything what it takes for a cool oldskool-electro mover: the sound, the beats and the funkyness are fine here. disturbingly the sad part is the record lacks of utter political correctness, even for 1984, as the lyrics make fun at the... See full review

TOP oldskool electro-slammer released at the heyday of this genre and it contains a political component as it is a statement against the Cold War. Anologue repetitive pattern as usual for that time but hardly to exceed in funkyness compared to... See full review

..and I felt a strong need to comment this album here. In some way it is very astonishing that it already came out in 1993, a time which was considered as the age of "Intelligent Techno" or "Intelligent" especially by british music press. This one... See full review

Where I have been when this came out? No mediocre track at all on this record, it is a fantastic sound experience here. Emphasized ambient melodies between fine minimal electronica rhythms. "Collage Of Dreams" is one of those tracks impossible ever to... See full review

What a luck I never sold it. Was not the thing when I first pre-listened it in the store but my internal collector instinct forced me to buy and I never had to regret my decision. Wicked soundscapes, changing rhythms, weird things are happening... See full review

I honestly admit that I even have noticed today what a wonderful release this one is, really, although I own the record since a long time. Such releases like that one are more relevant nowadays than when they came out. Particularly the melodic... See full review

The sound was so far ahead of it's time. All these strange soundscapes had fascinated me after first listening. Easily to recognize the influences of ambient and industrial. 1983. A good year for electronic music. And sure the masterpiece of Zoviet France... See full review

Once again, this compilation is great, especially the Blake Baxter tracks... I don't think they are underproduced, the production standards nowadays are far better than 1988. Despite there are hits like "Big Fun" it contains more funk than the most... See full review

There are much tricky arragements in rhythms and a lot of sound variations in it, that's really an astonishing work. In my opinion the best piece is B1 "Past The Gates" (the tracklisting here is currently wrong). Contains well made experimental... See full review

Why can't The Advent artists make a own techno track for the purpose to use it for sets of the hard techno fraction? They put together what does not belongs to each other, hard drumpatterns over a soulful house classic!!! This record doesn't belong... See full review

After first check strong feelings inside me instinctly created terms in direction "Deep IDM House" or similiar... then my mind seems always saying to me like: "Beautiful music! Wonderful music! Deep and sensitive that all!" And so I started to dream... See full review

Ok, I don't want make here the same old discussion, Boozy has sure also right with his sight of making music. The intention of record industry can be different than the intensions of artists, which are signed by them. Most of them can identify with... See full review

Yes, of course quality! This one was a so much important influence for later generations of producers, especially the "Sunrise Mix". The track is rereleased on "10+1 Influences" album of Warp Records (WARP LP 067). And it's indeed a big acknowlege to... See full review

One of my sentimental favorites in my collection. Tracks like "Starlight" (licensed from Metroplex) never left my heart. Juan Atkins was and is still the biggest influence to join into electronic dance music for me, a great collection of essential tracks. See full review

A hammer, indeed! A journey through the world of abstract breakbeats & melodies. Will rock every party with guarantee. "Samurai Math Beats" is the same masterpiece, it's very recommended to own both records in your collection.

I think this album should get a chance. Sure, that's not exactly the stuff we know under his aliases µ-Ziq or Tusken Raiders... but perhaps every artists moniker is standing for another concept for a work! I like "Hung Like A Bull" and "Lumpback... See full review

"Spontaneous lifeform"! Yes, that is one of these really good tracks from detroit for which I'm living for. Mostly ignored, but it has these special strenght and intensity deep inside. An eternal minimal acid classic for open minds, worth to check!

I like this track "The Crow" by DJ Food very much. It's a so deep sensitive music in an awesome way rarely heard nowadays. I know yet really, why he is one of the most respected artists on this label :) Does anybody know an released 12" with other... See full review

Can't remember really when I have heard a so much fine record from Detroit (except some Transmat releases). Since I own that one it is still in my case with my recent favourites which I hear almost at home. There is a special kind of deep & funky... See full review

Here is the right place to put a short biography of this great musician which is taken from the back of his awesome LP "The Newest Sound Of Debussy":

When I bought this copy I noticed there was a blue coloured DIN A4 paper with a written story in the plastic bag. For record owners who don't have this story or people who are interested in histery of detroit techno, I must tell what is written on... See full review

"This music is just like Detroit, a complete mistake. It's like George Clinton and Kraftwerk are stuck in an elevator with only a sequencer to keep them company."

Excellent. Very minimalistic grooves with dubby & slightly dark athmospheres. Sounds and noises appear and disappear slowly during running time of the tracks. Sometimes I have an assoziation to Chain Reaction. This one is the most advanced Richie... See full review
