From the ‘Skarciofen’ EP, and paired with the equally excellent, but more stripped back ‘People Of Paprika’, ‘United Elements’ was a collaboration between the then emerging Dozzy and Exercise One, who shared his predilection for embellishing techno with trance. Around this time, probably a bit later, we also had Prologue Records whose emphasis on the hypnotic saw the ‘headfuck techno’ genre spawned. (In the mind of the journalist who named it). Minimal reigned at the time of this track’s release, and making it more mesmerising was essential. There was so much shite that the good stuff often got submerged in it and drowned. This is a great track though, a lost gem. The whole track throbs under the weight of pulsing pads, hovering wah wah and that little percussive tinkle. Put this on anywhere now and unleash all manner of transcendental happenings.
