my furst detroit techno albumm

For me Retro Techno is the one to plump for - if you can get hold of it!

It has a mix of Strings of Life - which overshadows the original by a long way and just gives you those feelings! Forget the original this beatless mix is the shiznit

Retro Techno has got all the other key tunes from the Belville 3 inc No Ufos, the original Reese baseline tune Just Another Chance. Clear etc.

There have been some super Detroit style Techno compilations - most of which mentioned upthread - esp the 4 hero compiled Deeper Shade of Techno. Incidentally there is a new compilation out on Irma compiled by Volcov which aims to follow in the Deeper Shade tradition - it is called "Soul in Motion" and is available from Vinyl Junkies in London. Well worth picking up if Detroit is your thing ?

Anyone on here remember "Virual Sex" on Buzz? Probably my fav ever techno compilation - came with 3d glasses and cover too! Got probably the best emotional techno tunes on all time on it inc At Les, Tedra, Shambala, Icon, Mystical Adventure- wicked!

Ben - Revolution for Change - yes! It has got "The Theory" on it by UR - how come no one ever talks about this tune which along with Hi Tec Jazz and Star Sailing got to be the best stuff they have done.

So many MANY years later I decided to cook while listening to Infinti's "Skynet" and am awed at how well it's aged. Detroit Techno refined to a brittle, vaporous and lovely essence.

Speaking of aging well, the Aril Brikha Deeparture in Time LP on Transmat sounds as fresh today as it did 30-ish years ago.

Oh yeah. I listened to that around Xmas after a long while and truly enjoyed it. I remember how anticipated that was before prior to its release.

*how that was prior to its release.

Both amazing albums ^^^^

Cheers for this revive. Soundtracked my whole weekend. Just the best music.

The Aril Brikha album was new to me and I can't stop listening to it. Magnificent hi-hats.
