New 2010 edition, originally released in 2005. Tresor Records represses 23 tracks which celebrate 20 years of Juan Atkins' historic label Metroplex. This collection also represents the most extensive retrospective yet of techno music's most famous innovator. Mr. Atkins personally selected all the tracks on this 2CD pack. Although this collection contains a few pre-Metroplex tracks from his early Cybotron project, the bulk of his important works were crafted in the framework of the Metroplex label, which he founded in 1985. Juan Atkins recorded under several aliases on the Tresor label throughout its history, including his noteworthy Infiniti releases. Featured here are ground-breaking early works such as "Clear," "No UFO's," (Model 500) "The Chase," "The Passage" and "Off To Battle" -- electronic compositions that will always be counted as foundation blocks for a music/culture style that endures to the present day and on. Somewhere between Kraftwerk, Funkadelic and Depeche Mode, Juan Atkins delivered a new sound that changed the face of electronic music forever. With this release, Tresor salutes the career of techno music's most worthy benefactor. Also features 3MB, Channel One, and Visions.
