Review: During their time as Nexus 21, Altern-8 pair Mark Archer and Chris Peat were given the opportunity to head to Detroit and record with some of their techno heroes, Kevin Saunderson and Derrick May included. "Made In Detroit" presents these rare and significant recordings for the first time, offering a suite of tracks that fix UK-style bleep melodies (all the rage in late 1989/early 1990) to the kind of fizzing rhythms, warm bass and futuristic electronics then popular in the Motor City. There are two versions of house-tempo standout "Don't Do It Like That" (one with a whispered lead vocal by Ann Saunderson), while the clanking and metallic "Nexus" and more ghostly "No Statues" accurately fuse the best bits of both British and American techno at the time.

Review: A bleep techno classic from '91 for all the proper heads out there. Nexus 21 was composed of legends Mark Archer & Mark Peat aka Altern8, and they had several releases under the project name between 1989 - 1997 - mainly on Birimingham's Network Records. Detroit's influence was abundant on the EP, from the deeply emotive hi-tech soul of 'Self Hypnosis' and 'Mind Machines', and of course The Motor City legend himself Carl Craig appearing for an absolutely incredible rework of 'Still Life' on the flip. This one captures the true zeitgeist of early techno, complete with Kevin Saunderson style chord stabs to boot - a must have!

Review: ***B-STOCK: Record slightly warped, also the record has very light surface marks, but otherwise in excellent working condition***
