Proto Acid-the Berlin Sessions
Laboratory Instinct
TECHNO
Earlier this year, A GUY CALLED GERALD (GERALD SIMPSON) made his LABORATORY INSTINCT debut with a "Drop-Tech Infusion" mix of DELL & FLÃGEL's "Superstructure" that appeared on the duo's 'Study For A Skyscraper' EP. Now the British acid house pioneer and drum & bass legend issues his own superb full-length on the German imprint, the appropriately titled 'Proto Acid The Berlin Sessions'.
Having literally influenced generations of music-makers with an incredible discography that's grown incrementally deeper since the '80s, the Manchester UK native and now Berlin resident executes the infectious 71-minute jam with a masterful meticulousness.
Drenching Detroit-styled techno in sparkling electro, the set, recorded live in one session using two laptops and a DJ mixer at Gerald's Diehold Studio on February 11th, 2006, flows with a relaxed ease.
With one exception ("Auto Rebuild," the third track, is a remake of 1990's "Automannik"), the album's 24 raw, club-oriented tracks are all new and were created over the last year in Berlin. The collection departs from the style of his last full-length, 'To All Things What They Need', in many ways, the most obvious being the absence of singing.
