Porter Ricks - Biokinetics (1996)
Abstract, experimental, and brilliant techno. From the energetic highs of "Nautical Dub" and "Port of Call" to the nocturnal pulse of "Port Gentil" and "Biokinetics 2" (tracks that, along with "Nautical Zone", established the framework of thick, slowly shifting clouds of synths hanging over simple, distantly pulsing drums upon which Gas would base its first masterpiece, Zauberberg), this record dazzles and narcotizes.
Track listing:
1. Port Gentil
2. Nautical Dub
3. Biokinetics 1
4. Biokinetics 2
5. Port of Call
6. Port of Nuba
7. Nautical Nuba
8. Nautical Zone
Follow the path of the stars
