Why has no one reviewed this?, April 24, 2006
It's good, uhhhh huhhhh. Like mac & cheese. Like sunny days off. Like a bottle of water the morning after. Techno. Real techno. Get it. Really. Without a doubt some of the best techno ever. Every song is good. Every single one. How often does that happen? And it took long enough to release these. I've had a couple of them on vinyl since forver, but my car and my turntable don't get along. (mostly because I'm lazy, but whatever) If you don't know this, you should.

Fundamental - Essential, March 30, 2003
This review is from: Maurizio (Audio CD)
This CD is a sample of material originally released by Maurizio on the M label, under the mother label Basic Channel.
Characteristics of this music are: minimal, relatively slow, abstract, deep, dub-influenced techno.
A basic underlying idea of Basic Channel material seems to be a regular repetitive line, mixed with repetitive but irregular sounds. In Maurizio this is expressed with a steady 4/4 back-beat, layered with a set of sounds and echoes that repeat but transform and appear less regularly.
The music of Maurizio's M label is a milestone in the history of techno music. At the same time it has magnificent depth and an energetic bouncing bass drum. It leaves you with a feeling that the producer has a rich source of inspiration and complete control over his music.

Good enough to influence Detroit, December 24, 1999
This review is from: Maurizio (Audio CD)
This is essential techno listening. Maurizio are TWO people from berlin, not one person as has been mentioned in other reviews. While so much european techno is an attempt to follow the model set forth by Detroit in the mid-eighties, Maurizio (and Basic Channel) is one of the ONLY european techno acts to influence DETROIT techno. Absolutely essential if you have any interest in techno at all.
