Galaxy 2 Galaxy

Galaxy 2 Galaxy were a musical collective overseen by Mike Banks, and their debut album is quintessential Detroit techno. This is high art, progressive music, deftly melding organic jazz instrumentation with techno, effortlessly uniting the two genres in a way few would ever do so effectively again. The album is a model of how to wrench emotion from machines and how to incorporate traditional instrumentation into synthetic music. Galaxy 2 Galaxy remains a wonderful listen, space-age and classic at the same time, danceable, elegant, raw, sophisticated and a sublime journey into the sonic future.
