Basictonalvocabulary

Basictonalvocabulary is Anthony Child's industrial techno, Downwards' brutal clarity, Birmingham techno at its most severe and precise. Surgeon built tracks with a post-punk starkness and a machine's relentlessness, and it's one of the defining records of the British techno underground. It ranks at a hundred and thirty because its severity is an acquired taste, but for anyone who acquires it, few records hit with this much focused force, and its influence on UK techno runs deep.
