Waveform Transmission, Vol. 1

Across eight tracks, Jeff Mills’ 92 album pushed techno into harder, darker, colder places, pulling in industrial influences to craft a metallic, mechanical, atonal, functional sound that was as ceaseless and relentless as the spaceship-factory production lines it sounded inspired by. Waveform Transmission Vol. 1 is a wall of looping machine-generated rhythmic noise, a potent collection of high-tempo, high-intensity robot dance music.
