Editorial Reviews

INCLUDES JUNGLE LOVE AND DIMENSION OF DRUMS! This compilation brings together the cream of Dave Angel's early releases for r&s Records. His take on Detroit techno still sounds as great as ever today, and this compilation is digitally remastered, fresh for 2008. Highlights of the album are two of the tunes recorded for r&s ambient sub-label, Apollo, with distinct jazz influences that Dave attributes to being brought up listening to his father's jazz records. Grab yourself a slice of history and bag this collection of one of the uk's finest techno dj/producer's work, for your own collection

4.0 out of 5 stars Dave Angel - Classics, January 19, 2012

Mighty fine old-skool techno. Many of Dave Angel's earlier tracks on CLASSICS are all dancefloor stormers. Even with the tough and unrelenting percussion on "Bounce Back," a hint of melody sneaks in. He shows a lighter touch with "Jungle Love," and goes for the mysterious with "Trip to Darkness." But once His Detroit influences show up on "Sighting," then full-on with "Free Flow" and "Fallen Destiny," Angel never looks back. The delicate melody on "Endless Motions," the smooth flow of "Brother from Jazz," the joyous tech-house of "Down Deep" and "Lust": all show Angel working at his peak. Who knew the past could be so futuristic?
