UNIVERSAL TECHNO - great Detroit techno documentary
Supernice documentary on the roots of Detroit-Techno produced by the French / German TV-
station arte. From around 1997, I guess. After a rather doubtful start around the Love Parade
1996 (motto: "We Are One Family", topped in 1997 with "Let The Sunshine In Your Heart"...) it gets
really interesting. Fine scenes in Berlin (Mike Banks in the Hardwax store, the Tresor
club) followed
up by awesome interviews and pictures from Detroit. Juan Atkins, Kevin Saunderson, Derrick May,
Mark Bell (LFO), etc. Some fine synth-action video snippets from Kraftwerk and Tangerine Dream
included! A must! God bless arte for this one!
