If this item in stock, then you will get an infomation E-Mail!Twelve years ago Tresor Records released Terrence Dixons debut album >From The Far Future< - a personal homage to the art and ancestry of techno, culminating in a discursive and dream-like course through the genres many tomes, complete with subtle nods to key protagonists such as Kraftwerk, Derrick May and Juan Atkins. A luminescent and ethereal catalogue of tracks awash with shimmery synths and taught rhythmical programming - that still holds true today, >From The Far Future< made for a stunning first full length that cemented Dixons already proven credentials from his Population One work and Utensil Records foundations. After a string of stylistically rich releases - including another album, >Train Of Thought<, this time for Cologne-based label Yore Records - the Detroit native returns to Tresor Records with >From The Far Future Pt.2< - an ambitious, scopey and deeply personal sequel.
‘From The Far Future’ was special in many ways. It’s over 12 years later and seems like yesterday to me, it really does,” says Dixon. ” ‘From The Far Future Pt.2′ is my real life drama playing out before your ears, it has everything on this album that has something to do with where I live. I wanted to make this album as huge as it could be. This is a statement album. A variety of tracks from a minimal point of view.” *Taking the form of a fourteen-track CD and double vinyl LP, with just three overlaying tracks - the bubbly “Fountain of Life", uplifting “Horizon” and stung out “The Study", as well as two different versions on the atmospheric builder “Dark City of Hope” - ‘From The Far Future Pt.2′ is a masterful and extensive techno album that alludes to - without relying on - Dixon’s Detroit heritage and affinities. Tracks like the CD’s three dystopic numbers: “Path to Mystery", “The Auto Factory” and “Lead by Example", for example, deploy recognisable tropes of techno past, spun into a unique and inherently modern Dixon vernacular.
