These are my reference points for Stellar Om Source`s “Joy One Mile”. Tin stars send maydays from galaxies that dream of enchantment, across asteroid belts and the gravitational arcs of Jupiter`s moons. Dan Curtin`s Apogee on Peacefrog (if this hasn`t turned out to be one of the most influential Techno records of the `90s). Dave Angel`s “Sea Of Tranquility”.

Kassem Mosse`s remix of “Elite Excel” chugs instead of rushes and fragments all influence, sending it ricocheting infinitely down a Dub tunnel. An aural fractal, transmitting from inside a black hole.
