Customer Reviews:
A pleasant diversion for the purists.......2000-11-13
It's time to put on those starched, clean clothes and get down to some rigidly rhythmic techno, once again courtesy of Berlin label Tresor. In an era of amazingly prolific laptop rock - you can't throw a 303 without hitting some bedroom producer clicking away on their minimal glitch-opus or drill'n'bass cacophony - straight laced techno has been surprisingly hard to find, slipping even further under the radar Stateside.
Rounding up a dozen of the prominent producers in the field, this track order slowly reveals the simple power of drum machine and synth production. Mostly mellow and subdued tones play out the start, Stewart Walker's "Boring Movies" best exemplifying an ability to move listeners with sparse elements. Drexciya amps the energy, providing their expected bubble funk on "Species of the Pod," followed by Aril Brikha's excellent "Groove la Chord," taken off the "Deepartures in Time" solo album. The tempo turns hot with cuts by Claude Young and Pacou, finishing with the best track on the set, James Ruskin's "Detached."
Though it reveals a fluid journey of black light programming, Tresor Comp Vol. 8 works better as a sampler; most tracks are representative of these artists' work. Perhaps too monotonous for the uninitiated, it's nonetheless a pleasing diversion for the purists. Grade: B
Tresor Records Keeps the Faith.......2000-08-04
Well, the first thing you should know is that the track listing Amazon has listed is in a different order then what is on the CD. Obviously, a minor point. The second thing you should know is that Four of the tracks (Terrence Dixon, Drexciya, Sterac and James Ruskin) have already been released on previous Tresor records. Two of the remaining tracks are from other labels (Round Two/Main Street Records, Aril Brikha/Fragile Records). The remaining six tracks are "New Exclusive". This record covers the expected territory, ranging from the underwater Detroit-techno funk of Drexciya to the dubby post-techno minimalism of Round Two. All of the tracks are quality cuts, no throw-aways here. This record is probably best purchased by those of you (like me) who have only a limited level of exposure to the "Tresor sound". Hardcore heds may feel that this comp breaks little new ground, but given the limited availability of Tresor released materials states-side, the fact that this record is likely to remain in stock and available for the forseeable future counts highly in its favor. All-in-all, a solid comp filled with cutting edge Berlin-Detroit techno. If you're already considering buying this disc, you should pull the trigger and pick it up. If, on the other hand, you already have an extensive collection of Tresor releases (DJ's, I'm talking to you) you could probably skip it. Likewise, if you don't know anything about the magic that is Tresor records, well, you probably won't even be reading this review...
