Jeff Mills - Changes Of Life

World Techno Day you say?

OK here's a techno-as-hell track from Mr Mills, as hammered to fuck by him at Pure any time I saw him, although he only played it for about 20 seconds before sticking something else on. He did keep coming back to this one though, and a tape I used to have of his set had the riff from this one right through it. The cunt must have averaged about 30 records every 10 minutes, I shit you not.

It's taken from one of the best techno compilations I've got - will stick it all up sometime if anyone is up for it. There's a great Maurizio track on it (TT/FF) that can be played at any speed (hence the name).

I think this is my favourite Mills track - that distorted piano and the clunky pitch up/pitch down of the riff gets me every time.

Right, now for that online Xmas shopping I've been too lazy to do...

Buy that album here, or just wait until I fire it up

I remember Mills at Pure around 14 years ago. He did a showcase set at HMV during the day to promote the live mix album he had out the time; the one from Japan. Anyways, queue was up to the Black Bull to get in and he was intense as fuck, as ever. Very memorable night.

am I being too trainspottery to think that the piano riff is nicked from Strings Of Life - hence the Changes of Life title?

the version of Die Kosmische Kuriere on that compilation is one of my all-time favourites.

To the one trainspotting on where the piano riff is taken from; Try my guess which I'm speculating on in this old post: http://techtech2009.wordpress.com/2009/05/28/the-hypnotist-the-house-is-mine-pioneers-of-the-warped-groove/

I was going to warn Moggieboy that the Tresor 2 comp is scattered round the four corners of the internet. I haven't up till now come across the first Tresor album however. So thanks for that Stefan, brings back a lot of memories...

It's not a CD, it's a triple vinyl album. If you look up to the top comment they're already up on Friendsound.
