part 4 of thomas brinkmanns retrospektiv serie limited

thomas brinkmann is one of the great producers of techno music and modern dance music. he initially gained notoriety in the experimental electronic music and techno community for his full-length variations of material by wolfgang voigt under his mike ink moniker, and richie hawtin. the variations were made by playback of the original artist records on a turntable of brinkmann s design, which has two tone arms with separate outputs for left and right channels. the turntables were then pitched down from 33rpm to 27rpm and the results recorded and mixed. both voigt and hawtin were sufficiently impressed they released the results on their own labels. since then thomas brinkmann has produced some all-time classic dance tracks, many of which are collected here in what is a personal selection by thomas brinkmann himself. there are unreleased tracks, different versions, and tracks that have never been released on vinyl. a full colour 20-page book with track notes by thomas brinkmann and photos from his personal collection is included. limited edition box. highly recommended! ean4050486123461

thomas brinkmann breathes new life into his stellar side project soul center and berlin-based label shitkatapult feels privileged to release the good work. dont be mislead by the albums title, though. taken literally, general eclectics will lead you astray not once, but twice. while the cover might allude to local noise merchants einst?rzende neubautens infamous haus der l?ge sleeve and paolo uccellos horses rear, the albums inner sleeve is covered in maps, footballs, cigarette, butts, priests ˆ each replete with their own rich history.
