Editorial Reviews

Beyond the Third Wave is unique among major-label Detroit compilations in that it features no material from Derrick May, Kevin Saunderson, or Juan Atkins, the Holy Trinity of this legendary genre. Instead, this compilation highlights the diversity of lesser-known (but by no means untalented) producers that live in their shadows. The compilation is arranged by style, with tracks from Claude Young, Sean Deason, and Stacey Pullen (appearing as Kosmic Messenger) providing familiar Detroit atmospherics, followed by contributions from K. Hand and Anthony "Shake" Shakir which demonstrate the city's darker take on house. Ectomorph and Will Web then provide a taste of Detroit's thriving electro scene, followed by hard and functional tracks from DJ T-1000, Terrence Dixon, and Mode Selector. Beyond... reflects the second generation of the Detroit sound: it's raw, unpolished, and uncompromising, with an intelligent but sinister edge. --Matthew Corwine

3 out of 5 stars Good.......2006-10-24

I like this CD, but it is very repetitive. The tempo is about the same for every song -- an upbeat techno. Yes, it's a great CD to listen to, but don't expect the best songs ever. It's a nice background jam.

5 out of 5 stars Excellento!.......2000-06-01

Heavenly music can touch your senses....it can even make you cry! This is it! Fingerlicking Good! An incredible (and sadly undiscovered by mainstream Detroit House/Techno purveyors) CD that includes excellent "and I do mean excellent" detroit techno by Detroit's underground cult producers. If you like the classic Transmat, UR, KMS style you have to get this CD! The perfect music that will take you to heaven without never ever bringing you back. The opening is by Claude Young (freestyle DJ) who I always thought to be on the leading edge. Claude Young told me that Astralwerks was really picky about the songs....but it resulted in this beautiful gem. Claude Young's opening track spells it out...it would be impolite to refuse this CD! Play this music in your car while driving at a star filled night in Nevada and you will fly to the stars!
