blindwatch - 16-Aug-02 08:40 AMMinimal masterpiece combining dry beats with claustrophobic bleeping hooks - which nearly cause serious brain-damage in the second tracks on each side. title track is an hypnotic maelstrom with vacuum-like sounds and the weird filtered vocal, never again leaving your mind.

Losing Control is the big classic on here but equally amazing is Live Wire. The beauty of Dan's stuff is that it mixes with anything- even house divas like Martha Wash (I have the proof on a Derrick Carter mixtape).

The morphing of the melody into the haunting voice is extraordinary. Liquid-like techno minimalism in its most pure form.

Definately a classic example of great minimal techno. Losing Control with its fluid deep vocals sounds good with almost anything. The whole record's simplicity makes it great.

Aside from perhaps Rob Hood's "The Pace", "Losing Control" would have to be considered as one of the most versatile, hypnotic slabs of music to ever be pressed to vinyl. Maybe even more so. I'm not quite sure if 'Pace' would fit as well with some of the more organic house tracks like "Losing Control" does, but having said that, LC does takes the element of hypnotism in music to another level. If any track were capable of triggering symptoms of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Dan Bell's masterpiece is certainly worth mentioning. Top Tune!
THIS IS YOUR CHANCE TO OWN ONE OF THE GREATEST MINIMAL TECHNO RECORDS EVER MADE !!

Accelerate Records first gained worldwide attention in the early 90's and showcased the more minimalistic approach to Dan Bell's work. Under his DBX alias, Dan Bell had become known via Plus 8 Records working with Richie Hawtin under the name of Cybersonic. Also running the label Probe right up until 1996. That is when DBX released the Accelerate classic called "I'm Losing Control". One of the best examples of minimal techno, this record would be remixed by Richie Hawtin and Robert Hood and licensed in the U.K. by Peacefrog Records. Accelerate's small catalog is in very high demand, even in 2004. Not the most visible of Detroit's Techno Classics, yet always recognized as such.
VINYL HAS LIGHT SURFACE MARKS BUT DOES NOT AFFECT PLAY !
