Editorial Reviews

Former U.S. Air Force serviceman & stand up comedian Kenny Larkin is one of the chief innovators of Detroit’s so called "second wave" of techno producers. He began his music career in 1990 after hanging out at local Detroit clubs like The Music Institute and The Shelter, he soon hooked up with Richie Hawtin and John Acquaviva, and started to record for their Plus 8 label, releasing the early classic "We Shall Overcome."

The Narcissist is Kenny’s debut for Peacefrog, and his first album in well over 6 years. It contains 11 tracks of some of the most soulful, melodic, & emotive music you’ll ever hear, with every track a future classic; from the breathtakingly warm & romantic "My Reflection", and the heart stopping Carl Craigesque Detroit sounds cape "Mono e Mono", to the eloquent freestyle jazz meanderings of "A Part Of Me" and "Nitefall". This is some of the finest electronic soul music, packed full of human feeling and warmth.

This collection on the excellent UK label Peacefrog is sensational.
Kenny Larkin has great taste in sounds which make for an engaging and surprising listen considering I was expecting a more club feel to the tracks. If he and others like John Tejada (whom he thanks on the credits) keep making such good minimal techno then I will happily go along for the ride.Fabric 44 by Tejada is also worth getting in this vein.I hate the layout and photos of Kenny screwing up his nose and giving us the finger on the inner sleeve(what is he 15) and yes the title is 'The Narcissist' but considering the music it does no justice to what is on the disc.
