CD DetailsSynopsis
Amazon.com The musical ghosts of Gary Numan, Kraftwerk, Mantronix, and Bambaataa hover in the air as one listens to Luke Slater's Wireless, a far more focused, four-on-the-floor, electro-flavored platter than his vibrantly all-over-the-place 1997 debut Freek Funk. But don't worry--Wireless pays distinct homage to the past, yet this is one of those rare CDs that pushes the envelope of techno forward while partying all night like tomorrow will never come. It's a cheerful record that's difficult to describe without sounding cheesy; it rarely lags in energy even during the moody, deranged downtempo bits such as "Bolt Up." Created with layers of live drums and electrobreaks, and in a manner that coaxes the most emotion possible out of every musical gesture, the CD is a maximalist triumph, a study in the essential contradictions (man vs. machine; robot vs. human) that characterize life at the turn of the century. You can totally dance to it, too. --Mike McGonigal Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsSerious techno; none of that spiritual trance stuff. . . Jonathan Michael Leggett | Bandera, Tx United States | 07/03/2001 (5 out of 5 stars) "This is what techno should be: the soundtrack to a sci-fi thriller unfolding in a dark cityscape surging with the crisscrossing veins of chemical headlights and dotted with the pulse-glow of high-rise office buildings that host secret rendezvous. I'm a white boy: I can't dance. But this CD makes me want to shake my middle-class Anglo butt. Thank you, Luke Slater." Love at first sight J. Maturana | Victoria, Australia | 04/07/2003 (4 out of 5 stars) "I can't believe it took me four years to discover this gem...Wireless delivers the goods, many times over. From first go, Tracks 1 thru to 13 kept me pinned to the speakers. The theme here is TEXTURE: layer upon layer of awesome sounds. Stomping breaks, electro, tech, call it what you will -- fans of good electronica shouldn't go without this. If you're in doubt, let this review be the one that tips you over." Catch the new groove... Buddha's Ghost | Western Washington | 02/01/2000 (4 out of 5 stars) "Luke Slater turns out a gritty edged ,bass infested electronica album, flirting with the industrial sound by driving a slamming beat that will get a dead nun dancing. Interspersed with digitally altered voices and looping sound effects, Luke has created a killer with this one. I defy you to sit still while listening to it. Hard and heavy style. Enjoy!"
