Richie Hawtin "DE9 Transitions" Album Review

a tapestry of subltle sonic elements
I have been listening to techno for over 20 years (since I lived in Detroit in the late 80's) and Richie Hawtin is still producing some of the best progressive music of the genre. The varied rhythms are layered with such delicate precision that I need a better sound system to truly appreciate all the nuances. A couple of the tracks had some silly "lyrics" that I felt marred an otherwise excellent mix by the Minimal Master.

Jeff Mills "Purpose Maker Compilation" Album Review

detroit at its best
Like the Auto industry--labeled "Detroit" by American journalists--this was like the 1970's for G.M.. Mills style, at its best, was this album. Like another review, spin Alarms, Bells, or Paradise, and you will have a pleased audiance.

I find that some of the influence of this album made its way on a sonderweg and influenced the Tresor/Berlin movements; it can be heard in later artists that Mill's inspired.

Mill's sound, as it might be labeled "Detroit," is clean and simple. It's 4/4 at it's best; never polluted by stupid lyrics or anything that shouldn't be there. If you're looking for something to get your floor dancing, look no further than this album.
