Has anyone heard this comp: "The Deepest Shade of Techno"...? Evidently it's been re-released on Crammed/SSR out of Belgium. Supposedly a collection of classic Detroit artists. Any +/-? 3

I posted a review of this 2xCD about three months ago. I don't have my origianl review or the CD on hand hand so I'll do a quickie off the top of my head. The first disc is The Deepest Shade of Techno, vol. 1 which was released a few years ago on the now-defunct detroit Reflective (not the same at the san fran label). The first disc had tracks from UR, John Beltran, Claude Young, DJ Tone, Octave One, Eddie Fowlkes, Dan Curtin, Nu Era and Josh Wink. The second disc is newer material packaged as The Deepest Shade of Techno, vol 2. It has tracks by Todd Sines, Morgan Geist, Titonton, UR, Claude Young, Q-Mog (?), Fannon Flowers, and a few others. As a whole, this 2xCD gave a good overview of what has happened and what is happening in Detroit techno. There isn't a whole lot of material that strict IDMers would be into. But if you like your techno with a side of innovation, this comp's for you. 8/10 BTW: This compilation was compiled by the 4Hero guys but it has no drum and base... just techno. Hope this helps! -->-Lance--- p.o. box 450715 westlake, ohio 44145 united states

it's very nice. tracks from Underground Resistance, John Beltran, Claude Young, the Burden Brothers (430 West), Josh Wink, Dego and Mark (in their Nu Era guise, they also compiled the comp) and a bunch more. all very smooth, jazzy techno in that Detroit sorta way. if you like it, you'll love this album. if you don't... peace john ________________________________________________________________________ P.S.
