Synopsis
Album Description 2001 release for the artist behind one of dance music's greatest electronic anthems, 'Red 2', who's gone on to become one of the world's most sought-after techno producers and the genre's biggest DJ. This Two CD pack is entirely representative of Dave's DJing style. CD1 is an uncompromising Club Techno set featuring Jeff Mills, Gaetano Parisio, Joey Beltram, Surgeon and culminating in the Horrorists terrfiying mix of Horrormone. Disc two is an eclectic electro mix, with tracks like the ultra limited Idioteque by Radiohead (of which this is the first compilation to get a licence from Kid A'), Anthony Rother's 'Redlight District', the warped punk electro of New York's Fisherspooner crew and the Detroit sound of electronic funk represented by artists like Adult, Japanese Telecom and Keith Tucker. Slimline double jewel case housed in a slipcase. |
CD ReviewsClarke at his Best 01/07/2002 (4 out of 5 stars) "I don't know how often Dave Clarke gets over to the States, if some of you guys havn't heard much of his stuff,? He is as important to the development and populization of Techno music as Carl Cox. Disc 1 of this album is simply awesome, kicking UK Techno at its very best. There is no messing about, straight in at the deep end with mind blowing basslines and almost painfully hard beats all blended with a variety of mixing skills from one of the most respected and woefully unsung DJ's on the planet. Don't go anywhere near this CD if you like euphoric beakdowns and trancy breaks in your dance music, this is absolutely relentless. It's like Carl Cox at his hardest from beginning to end. This doesn't come close to seeing the man live, but it will give you a very tasty example of what this guy does. Lovers of melodic atmospheric music like Oakenfold plays, this may not be for you, but give it a go, because Dance music doesn't get much better.Disc 2 is an Electro mix, and is both musically and technically superb. A great example to any budding DJ, but for me its like a bonus free CD that I don't really listen to, it's not really my thing. Don't let that put you off, CD 1 is more than worth the money on its own." Selection Supreme JayKay | 03/17/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "Look......frankly i've read these reviews and obviously no-one is getting it, DO NOT ASSOCIATE CARL COX WITH DAVE CLARKE!!! Carl Cox does his thing and if you like that, fine, maybe you should stick to it, THIS IS NOT THE CD FOR YOU. And as for UK techno..........yeah..........whatever.............if you're from the states I'm ashamed that you don't know where the style came from............Derrick May.........Jeff Mills........Stacey Pullen......etc. DETROIT=TECHNO=INVENTION OF
Yes, the mixes do stretch much longer than when seeing him live, but in all seriousness, when you buy a CD don't you wan't to hear at least a bit of the track before it gets mangled by one of the masters................? This is, yet again, another fine showcase of Dave's talent in pulling the records and spinning them, as perhaps you may have heard them spun before............but track selection is a fine art that can never be studied!!!!!!!!!!! If you wanna get into electro or techno, this is a great start." |
