    This album means so much to me, a treasured possession, every track a classic. Back in the early 90's quite a few of the Detroit guys used to come and DJ at a club me and my mates used to frequent called Pure, in Edinburgh. They were all great DJ's and used to play all this great Techno music (on the odd occasion a track from this), it was awesome. Me and my mates would all head back to the flat and chill out to this album and other Detroit stuff. Happy days.

      Fantastic selection of pure classic Detroit Techno at its finest.
      The track list simply says it all & if you aren't familiar with them then please take the time to have a listen, you won't be disappointed. An amazing collection of tracks from some of the true pioneers.

        I was sent a white label promo of this which features the incredible 'unreleased' (aka 'piano') mix of 'Strings of Life'. A track that can only really be played out on new year's ever every decade.

          A definitive compilation of Detroit classics, with "Let's Go", "Clear", "No UFOs" and "Strings Of Life" representing pivotal moments in techno's creation. Also, we get Kevin Saunderson showing drum'n'bass producers how to produce their bass noises on "Just Another Chance"!
