(The Theory Of)
1995
R & S Records
Silent Phase was an artist name used by Detroit producer Stacey Pullen in the early 90s and The Theory of pulls together some of his productions from that time. Pullen specialises in a lush, driving, inventive and darkly euphoric version of Detroit techno, and there are plenty of classic Detroit synthetic-strings/chord stab/techno-drums dance tracks here. The Theory of also has a few beatless/downtempo tracks that use the sonic language of techno to create non-dancefloor tracks, and overall, this album is a sumptuous and sophisticated electronic listen.
