"Not the American group of Detroit techno fame from the 80s, but a cool 70s duo from Australia who work here in a host of cool electronics all played live! The approach is very organic, and a lot more vibrant than the modes of some of their German contemporaries – not nearly as cerebral or contemplative, and instead really taking off in a groove that seems to feature lots of improvisation, while still holding onto a very rhythmic approach overall! The instrumentation is as cool as you'd expect from the cover – and the set features two long tracks, "Parameters Of Consciousness" and 'Vulcan' – plus the bonus track 'Ride To Infinity'.

"According to Deadmau5' MasterClass, the basics of an EDM beat is a kick on every quarter note, a snare and/or clap on every other quarter note, and a hi hat in-between."
