Why it's here
Berlin dub techno compressed onto one CD; every dub techno record since is a footnote
BCD compressed dub techno onto a single CD and every record in the genre since is a footnote to it. Basic Channel took the loops of Berlin and the weight of dub reggae and found something that barely changes across its length yet never stops moving. It is loops, gloriously, and that's both the achievement and the ceiling. Chain Reaction, Echospace and a decade of Berlin minimalism are downstream of this one disc.
