JEFF MILLS - Contact Special, Axis

LIMITED COPIES BACK IN STOCK. This really is a treat, a Japanese-only cd compilation of the hugely limited 7" series released by Mills over the last 12 months. The 7" format has often had a strange impact on producers (perhaps it's the need to create music that has to somehow stand on its own, striving for individuality, accessability and all within the parameters and time constraints offered by the limited surface area) - and despite the more anonymous nature of the genre, the format has willed Mills into producing some of his most advanced, layered and inspired material in what has been a long and illustrious career. These sets of 7"s (released in 3 groups of triple 7"s and only available at Axis events around the world and a very small number of outlets) amount to 18 tracks that ooze an analogue warmth and mastery of minimalism that stand as a masterclass for anyone dipping their toes into the genre. Combined with the textured melodicism and soundscaping most recently evidenced on the brilliant Metropolis and Three Ages releases, "Contact Special" for me somehow manages to play as the most rounded, complete and utterly absorbing full-length ever released by this master producer. If 2005 has been all about Sleeparchive and the slew of minimal kings given treatment by Richie Hawtin on his recent "DE9:Transitions" mix, this album will extend the narrative into an arena well connected with Techno's past and brilliantly striding into it's future. A Massive recommendation.
