It was only after immersing myself in early nineties techno that this constantly quoted source managed to get onto my playlist. 'Kontakte' was the piece that I was introduced to and to be honest, the one that I've stuck with. Expansive, immersive and just emotionally charged. I became slightly obsessed with this, to the point of rejecting almost everything else. But familiarisation has reaped rewards and I can hear its legacy continuing in even the most recent innovations in music.
