Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) became Strand which then became
self-aware as Harbonder(?). There used to be a flash animation to prove
it. I used to listen to the Messages series while reading The Republic,
very melodic but file under difficult to mix to. Links too to Puzzlebox,
Hubble ep. Enjoying the new Mirror Touch btw, file between Digital Soul,
End to End, Metamorphic.
Tbh I prefer Suburban Knight's last ep on detroittechno, seditious
single track. Helps with the politic.

Great recommendations all around! Glad to read all of the talk about
Strand. They don't really miss.
Suburban Knight's rework of Prince's Erotic City, Derotic City is
pretty fun to my ears:

Also like the sound of Mike Schommer's brand new one:

Stumbled upon this MM mix from a few years ago the other day that I
didn't know existed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c04U4MY6lVg It is
a longer version of a similar track on the digital version of Taken
Away.
And have also really been enjoying Brian Kage's stuff lately:
https://michigandermusic.bandcamp.com/ His productions vary a lot in
terms of style which I like. He has also done a lot with Luke Hess as
Reference, Omar S and has been mastering quite a few Detroit records
as of late including those from Norm Talley and Delano Smith.

I'm by no means an authority on Strand, but they had a release on
Frictional and one of those tracks "Zephyr" was also on the True
People comp as Kech and B. Bonds back in the day. That was my intro to
them in any case. It looks like Brian Bonds was replaced by Brian
Boyer along the way.

excellent post, thanks for that...I just bought most of those and
put some on my wishlist...unfortunately the Kyle Hall vinyl is sold

OK, at the risk of sounding out of touch...who is Strand...? it
says that they are from Detroit and have been at it since 91..I have
the Strand releases on Delsin but I didn't realize they were from
Detroit...
seems like we are again reaching back to the past to find the
futuretime isn't linear anyway, soOK...

Yo.
A couple of (313) things I thought people would want to know
about.
New Strand https://strand313.bandcamp.com/album/silicon [1]
Newish Russ Gabriel on Ferox.
https://russgabriel.bandcamp.com/album/off-centre [2]. I like his
other recent
stuff, but this is back on top form for me. Like he is drifting
somewhere
in between his '00s less techy output (of which I am a huge
admirer) and
the recent return to techno.
Some Nuron releases I'd missed. https://nuron.bandcamp.com/music
[3]. There is
also a new 2x12" Likemind reissue that I need to pick up before it
goes
https://www.rubadub.co.uk/records/likemind-06 [4].
Placid Angels - Touch the Sky
https://figure-music.bandcamp.com/album/touch-the-earth [5] (note,
for some
reason the digital release is priced much higher at Bandcamp than
other
stores for some reason I am struggling to fathom).
Kyle Hall's MPC Dreams
https://kylehall.bandcamp.com/album/mpc-dreams [6]
Urban Tribe reissue (which is incredible)
https://urbantribe.bandcamp.com/album/urban-tribe [7]
Loads of other great stuff about presently, but this was the
topical stuff
I don't think I've seen mentioned.
Cheers,
Tristan
