Music reviews of Purposemaker Compilation
Music Review: Ray Man/Man Ray
Rating: 5 Stars
After years of writing off techno as being less interesting, more programatic and ultimately less cve than drum and bass, I finally came across the work of Jeff Mills. I started with Live at The Liquid Room, which for all its dynamism was a bit uninvolving due to the short track time (although if I was actually there in the club, this might have been a good thing) Then I bought Waveform 1 and was blown away by the subtle manipulation of rythm and complexity of each piece. It made a lot of drum and bass seem quite programatic in comparisson. On my last trip to Europe I picked up Purposemaker along with a few drum and bass compilations and the new leftfield album. They were all impressive (especially left field) but the Jeff Mills work had a level of invention and genius that has completely changed my view of Detroit Techno. I have also always been a fan of Man Ray and won an award on a student film which had what I wanted to be a man ray look put into the fluid motion of Alain Renais or Kenneth Anger. So, I respect anyone who is big on Man Ray. Mills pieces each slowly draw you into this introspective world that is as beautiful, daring, original and evocative as the photos of Man Ray. Somebody once told me that tachno wasn't music. I'd like them to hear this and still say that.Although I'm not always in the mood to listen to Mills, I always look forward to those times I do. Some of the most stunning and original music in my 500 CD collection. People years from now will be talking of Grooverider and Jeff Mills in the same breath as Coltrane and Davis as some of the most innovative musical minds of the century.
