Firstly, I don’t
have this record. I don’t know how many were pressed, but they had sold out
everywhere faster than Kraftwerk tickets. Yet another strategic, small-scale release
designed to encourage ridiculous bidding wars and ott transactions on Discogs?
I don’t know. Fact is, if I was head of a label I’d probably do the same thing
in these turbulent economic times. Right now, prices range from what you can
see after you’ve clicked this link. As far as the music is concerned, there’s a
good range across the two slabs; the analogue warmth is conspicuous, and the
sound is layered thicker than Rupaul’s make up. To call it techno is obvious,
but it’s a little bit more and encompasses a lot of what makes the genre
classic, without resting on one particular sonic specification. It’s general
timbre being one of self-conscious, but entirely necessary rave and Detroit
classicism. Worth the hype? Yep.
