About this item

A truly iconic piece of Detroit techno and a highly collectable artifact from the Underground Resistance catalogue is available once again!

A high watermark and perfect example of Mad Mike, Jeff Mills and Robert Hood's pioneering vision of politically engaged, futuristic soul music made with machines. From the tension wrought opener, "The Final Frontier", which aptly sounds like your slowly edging towards the event horizon, we're flung into fuzzy astral planes on "Entering Quadrant Five" which douses spectral artifacts and fizzy CV currents over our willing human receptors. "Base Camp Alpha" concludes proceedings with what would become one of their trademark tribal rhythms. Proper machine funk that's impossible to sit still to. Sounds as good today as it did in 1992. Every techno collection needs this record! 

STAFF COMMENTS

Matt says: Early blueprint from Mad Mike and co. and a true highlight of the vast and era-defining Underground Resistance catalogue. One of two must-have re-issues from the Detroit techno militia to land this week.
