Hello,
The reason being that this set of releases was supposed to signal a
renaissance for Transmat Records. Transmat hit a slump in the mid 90's
when Derrick started putting most of his energy into his Dj bookings,
and he did not take the time to build a strong team to run things while
he was away. I had a friend who used to work down there before things
got restructured, it was rough. This compilation marked a new vigor in
the label that had not really been seen since the late 80's/early 90's.
Thank goodness for Indio, Tony Drake, and Aril Brikha.
As for homage to Juan, notice the catalog numbers. MS-___ MS stands for
Metroplex Subsidiary, that is Derrick May thanking Juan Atkins for
showing him the ropes.
whose drunken new years eve resolution was to have a record out on
Transmat,
Mike Taylor
