Album Notes & Community Reviews

Stepping away from Throbbing Gristle and Chris & Cosey, the synthesizer pioneer released this solo cassette focusing heavily on relentless, proto-techno rhythm programming. The tracks combine stark Roland TR-808 beats with rudimentary sequencing, laying essential groundwork for the impending acid house and industrial dance movements.
