Is the Cybotron album "Clear" on the Fantasy label really Juan Atkins or the other Cybotron, the jazz band? Is this any good? I didn't think any of Atkins' stuff was so available. Pretty strange to find Juan's name among all those old blues and jazz classics.

*** funny you should ask. here i am listening to it.havent listened to it for quite a while. YES it is Juan with Jon 5 and 3070.Produced by Juan Atkins & Richard Davis (3070).Well...as to whether its any good, i think its important to place yourself in the time of release, then you can appreciate that its deep electronic electro/pop kinda stuff. i think it was released around 84/85.Its not what i call an essential purchase but i didnt listen to it before i bought so i guess its sort of a dud.....only sort of. Clear is classic electro but so is so much other stuff. Its just that Juan has produced so many gems since then its a collectable. I personally get "chubby" over "Technocity". Not the remix, the original.Unfortunately its not on the cd.Here is the track listing & duration. 1.Clear 4:52 electro 2.R-9 5:14 electro pop 3.Cosmic Cars 4:25 electro pop 4.Enter 5:37 electro pop 5.Alleys of your mind 3:31 elecrto pop 6.Industrial Lies 6:14 electro pop 7.The Line 5:01 electro pop 8.Cosmic Raindance 4:00 electro 9.El Salvador 4:47 electro *** Most of the tracks have vocals and arent really danceable or funky. (no i dont believe this is a criteria for good music i'm just trying to give a clear picture of what its like).most tracks @ 60/70 BPM. HOWEVER...the sounds ARE funky and some are definitely Tangerine Dream influenced.mmmmmmmm yummy harmonics. *** Overall i strongly suggest you listen B4 you buy. Hope this helps. tony.
