Out this week:
VARIOUS: Retro Techno Detroit (incl. Juan Atkins, Derrick May, Kevin
Saunderson, Blake Baxter, etc.) (Network Retro 2xLP: RETROLP 1 [11.27])
Prime
This is a must have album, featuring (if I recall correctly) the fabulous Nude
Mix of Strings Of Life, wherein the drums are slowly added with delicious
anticipation until the kick drum kicks in for 4 beats, drops out, and the song
is over. One of the most emotional tracks of all time.
A tape of this album, along with tapes of Biorhythms 1 & 2 (also on Network),
were my introductions to Detroit Techno. I must have a copy, though preferably
in CD format. Has anyone seen word of a CD release?
