Project/artist name, title, reference, label, distribution (area).

01 Innerzone Orchestra, Programmed, CD 5461372 (Talkin'Loud)
- The second generation Detroit master delivers a true masterpiece. More engaged into finding a place in black music history, his new opus is so rich and dense that words are just not enough. Blended with programmed live jazz and funk samples, the missing link to techno is established. A cornerstone in your collection.
02 Einturzende Neubauten, Total Eclipse of the Sun, CD Mute 240 (Mute)
- Blixa Bargeld and friends left a few drills and shopping carts in their garage to turn cosmic event into contemporary poetry. Strange as usual but with a sense of pop accessibility, this is a true surprise.
03 Non, Pagan Muzak, reedition, Mute vinyl
- The reedition of this classical noise masterpiece will kill your ears. Even if this will seem a little bit outdated for minimal noise addicts, it shows that concept is often the keyword in electronic music. Weird, deranging and harsh. Completely unclassable.
04 Richie Hawtin, Orange, 12" (m-nus)
- Windsor boy in his strongest work to date. Minimal post-funk techno pleasure, Richie hits the floor and establishes Minus as one of the best electronic labels.
05 Nine Inch Nails, The day the world went away, from Halo Thirteen E.P, CD INTDS 97026, (Nothing)/Interscope
- what? Can such a man be so pop and chilled? Yes, and still the tension in this track is almost unbearable. Hugely orchestrated, this is a turning point in his musical adventure. Diehards will say its crap. I like it.
06 The Stranglers, Golden Brown, from The Collection 1977/1982, Liberty-United Records
- Flashback to one of the most influential band in 80's music. This organ line will tear you apart, one more time and for ever and ever. "Texture like sun".
