Just to clarify. There aren't any tunes on this record which feature the Sequal - It's Not Too Late Dub sample which appears on Reel Time Status. -
I went to 'who sampled who' looking for tracks that sampled the Spectrum 'Brasil' stab sample and it came up with this, but I can't find the track with said sample. Is there one ? -
Return To Techno City is a remix of "Techno City" by Nexus 21. I stick with the Altern 8's updated version though. -
-
Lovely EP - kind of feels like a transformation from Nexus 21 too Altern 8, as it leans closer to the Detroit sound, rather than the rave sound of Altern 8. Really worth a listen and some of the tracks still sound great today.
-
Great ep! With it's cheeky remix of Cybotron's Techno City, to the equally body poppin' Reel Time Status! And a quality pressing too seeing as it had four tunes a side.
-
All these comments and nobody touches on the genius that is 'Move My Body' ! Shame on you guys. There's something timeless about it...that's all I'm going to say.
-
Since everyone has already contributed in detail regarding this whole release, I'll be concentrating on a single track, namely, Destiny. A cross between Detroit influenced electro techno but with Belgian style new beat synth riffs. Quite unlike anything they've produced before or since under both the Nexus 21 or Altern 8 guises.
-
This record should go for insanely more amounts of cash - a masterpiece in a specific transition of Detroit meets UK sound - a very distinct slab of wax - from the mighty Altern 8 - timeless and deep and amazingly raw and perfect - one of my favorite records of all time - big ups Altern 8 -
Edited 20 years agoApparently these tracks were written using left over studio time, what a bonus!
