If spiritual techno has a mother, then few would argue she's known as Red Planet. Lush synths and warm emotional chords, mixed with crisp percussive beats, all go together to create the labels unique sound. On listening to this compilation of 12'' releases, the philosophy behind the label begins to make sense, there's more here than just beautiful music, it's got ideas, feelings and messages . . . To some it just sounds great, while others may be looking, and finding something more . . . whatever . . . it's up to the listener to take as much or as little as they please.
Years after their initial release, you'll still hear the likes of Derrick May and Carl Craig, along with hundreds of others, spinning these techno masterpieces. When Novarum asked Mike Banks where the inspiration came from for Red Planet, he replied that he couldn't say, as all the trax are created by an entity know as 'The Martian' . . .
Now if we could only get Nasa to send a probe into deepest Detroit, perhaps all would be revealed . . . ?

mang, i did a show in Saint Louis. everyone was freaking out that i duck taped controller pedal, trackball-mouse, MOTU traveler to my tr-909. i was like "what, i aint selling my tr-909, i can deface and duck tape it how i want." then i pulled out my keyboard to my computer. it had arp axxe, tube overdrive ducked taped to it. "what? thats my computer keyboard!" hahaha. kansas city is dong well, Satchel Paige Stadium is green.
I'll be turning back the clock a fair bit to my youth, but about 15 years ago every time we were hanging out the DJ-ers amongst us would be spinning or talking about the latest Red Planet Ep - I picked up the LBH compilation myself sometime after (apologies I'm not a vinyl man....) - listened to Soulshine just last night - great stuff! No fear of a Red Planet here!
