Robert Hood really wrung out the essence of techno in tracks like this. ‘Master Builder’ is classic minimal. A gathering of frequencies coalescing over a kick. It’s far too short at three and a half minutes, but does that really matter? It could be twice that length and the same could be said. When you’re talking about one of the most hypnotic pieces of electronic music ever produced, the present is elastic, the past is easy to remember and the future is reassuringly predictable. Functions well at all volumes, but comes into its own when blasted out.
