The effort sets an electronic soundtrack for wanderings through the squandered and pillaged wastes of short-sighted development and environmental interruption to the high hopes of sustainable human occupation and transportation amongst the landscape. Perhaps best framed in Metro Commercial’s synthesized vocal reflection, “Why are we making a world like this?”
These 32 tracks (two+ hours) are best suited for highway use, long journeys through suburban traffic, deserted construction sites and abandoned strip malls.
Included is a 46 page high-resolution digital booklet (PDF), with titles, liner notes, individual track artwork. Photos by local NJ artist T. Charles and design by Nice Looking Designs.
Mastered by Paul “Starkey” Geissinger.
[NPR] - Although widely associated with Europe, techno music was invented in Detroit and its suburbs in the early 1980s by young African-Americans armed with drum machines, futurist ideals and a predilection for Kraftwerk. Artists like Juan Atkins, Derrick May and Kevin Saunderson used whatever technology they could get their hands on to pioneer a cutting-edge sound made up of growling synths and driving dance beats. In the process, they set in motion one of the essential musical movements of the 20th century.
