This is long so beware:
In a way, their sound is what "techno" would have turned out
to sound like if Techno Kut had had the impact that Metroplex,
Transmat etc ended up having. I'm quite interested in that
parallel 'path' of post-electro stuff and the way that it started
out calling itself "techno" before being superceded by what we
*now* know as "techno"...
There's a line in the track 'Men You'll Never See': 'Making techno
tracks
...' Which I was bemused by. Incidentally, are these tracks new? Once
again
we meet that oft-talked about (currently) retro-future/future-retro
thing.
Are these old tracks released late or new tracks made in such a way
that
they sound old?
D.I.E.'s the men you will never see is a re-release. I think i bought
my copy on clone somewhere in the late nineties. Before that they had a
couple of release on there own label (i can't remember the name of it).
Also i don't think you can't call D.I.E. retro, they have been living
isolated from the techno scene :)
