Having first appeared on the monumental Techno 2: The Next Generation compilation in 1990, Octave One swiftly set out their sound to become the Detroit techno icons they currently are with the Octivation EP for 430 West. The rest they say is history. Given the reissue clamour of anything related to the birth of Detroit techno, it’s quite strange that the record hasn’t been licensed for an official new edition in the ensuing two decades or so, until now that is! Presented here in it’s promo edition, you get a chance to here “Sonic Fusion”, a track that never officially came out and was replaced by “There and Beyond”. Any self respecting Detroit techno fan will know “Nicolette” and “Paradise” and anyone interested in increasing their knowledge of the genre should consider a must have!
