I did not say I did'nt like them... And the good thing is... I guess that all those early transmats got at least 4 or 5 represses, but they never took the time to redo them. So if you gonna buy a Transmat Classics of "The Groove", it still sounds like the way it should sound. :)

Gotta disagree wth u for the first time old bean (let's not make a habit of this ;-) - My opinion is that 'Art of Stalking' along with many other seminal Detroit techno (which implies a particular period) benefitted, purposefully or not, from the ironic lack of the latest technology at all points of the production process. Those trax sound grimy, glitchy, scratchy and minimal, sometimes even the sequencing is a bit suspect. But somehow (I admit, I'm not sure how) often, all those elements came together to form an unmistable kind of human touch which proved there really was a ghost in the machine (called soul.) k
