Yes, this recently got repressed by Astralwerks, if your into the Detroit
sound then this is a great comp.  The Claude Younge track 'Impolite to
Refuse' which begins the album is certainly a must have, on par with his
Project 625 material on Dow (even better IMHO).   I used to start all my
Detroity sets with this track.  Tonnes of percussion, squelchy bass and
wonderful (WONDERFUL) melodies.

Sean Deason's 'Vortex' does much the same for me, classic Detroit sounds.
Another guaranteed player.

Shake's ' Sandblaster has a beautiful arppegiated bass wobble, and a dirty
snare/ kick combo, combined with another killer piano line and some
chanting.

The middle part of the LP heads for electro country bagning it out with a
classic Ectomorph tune, and the absolutely f***in essential Will Web "Like
on Tek (Bumpin down Jefferson Mix).  When I was in the D for first DEMF we
went bumpin down Jefferson Ave, with that tune cranked, it all became clear.
If you get this comp for any one tune it should be this one.  If Andy C's
'Valley of Shadows (31 seconds)' is the essential junglist tune, then Will
Web's 'life on tek' is comparable for the electro elite.

The last part of the LP is to me, what suffers.  The T-1000, Terrence Dixon
and Mode Selector (Fanon Flowers) tracks, showcase the bleepy, and hard part
of Detroit.  The tracks are a good view into what was happening in that
particular vein of techno in Detroit at that time, but in comparison to the
musicality of the rest of the LP, they just don't stand out.

An essential LP IMHO, I sold mine to pay rent a few years back, and now I
have it again!

Now anyone want to part with their Deepest Shades of Techno Compilations on
vinyl?  Better yet anyone know of any stores that might still have these in
stock?  Not bloody likely but at least I'm trying :)

Cheers
