About this item

Originally released in 1999. A very hard to find piece now re-issued for the first time with a respectful remaster. Berlin native T.H. Reingold (aka Tom Clark) has been an integral part of the scene there for for over 25 years - establishing Gold Plate and Highgrade Records along the way. Together on this EP with former Tresor resident Mad Max, the much sought after 'Sophisticated EP' is a heady blend of old school house, techno and loopy disco chops. Foundation music - part of the eclectic soup that became known as the Berlin club sound. Originals fetch big bucks. 

STAFF COMMENTS

Matt says: Symbolic of Berlin's up-all-nite mindset, this lost little nugget, remarkably produced in 1999, contains four tracks of brilliantly broiling house energy. Not afraid to flirt with the techno heads (a prerequisite in Berlin at the time!); there's also a restrained futurism which will find favour with lovers of Craig Richards and Carl Craig.
