Having bought this compilation new in 1991, it felt then as if it

historic anthology, a summing up almost...because there was
definately a
feeling for a while, after acid and the big parties, there was a
kind of
backlash, and I think people really felt that techno/house had had
it's
moment, it had peaked...so that comp, although ridiculously close to
the
years that those tracks were released, even in '91, had a real sense
of
nostalgia about it. And for a lot of people it kind of bridged the
gap a
bit because most people's idea of techno then was bleep/rave stuff.
The
fact that it sounded so forward looking when i pulled it out again in
99/2000 remains a testament to the music, and a lot of what makes it
such
powerfull music was missed by most even at that time, and it becomes
more
apparent
every day. Great record.

oh dear... "Retro" Techno? LOL
get me my slippers
:) Given it's a really old compilation re-done, I think the title
is a
not as bad as it sounds. One of the first things that got me into
detroit techno in fact. I was mainly into industrial (and some dance
music) before that.
With that in mind this double pack really blew me away. I've not been
the same since :)
