Various - Tresor II (Berlin Detroit - A Techno Alliance) download free

Blistering compilation with solid contributions from both Detroit and Berlin artists. A joint venture, which only furthered the process of solidifying the already existing ties between the two cities.The standouts of said compilation are surely the exclusive "Mimas" from UR as X-102, Jupiter Jazz, Lyot, T.T./F.F., Changes Of Life, as well as the 3MB collaborations.This 3xLP contains absolutely no fillers (as they say) and ranges from complex and sublime Detroit Techno to harder Berlin Techno. The Maurizio track "T.T./F.F" can be played at both 33 or 45 RPM - go figure the title :-) I always play it at 45, At this speed it transforms into a strong predecessor to the dub-influenced Basic Channel sound with a rattling breakbeat, majestically swirling pads and ultimately laced with brain penetrating chord sounds par excellence. Essential selection of classics, hits and time distinctive contributions on a well-mastered, loud pressing and furthermore it's cheap as chips within the second hand circuit.
