March 29 street date. Although 30 years after its birth this fundamental electronic gem called Reflections has achieved cult status, it is worth remembering that it all started in 1993 in a small apartment in Waterloo, London, with the help of a mixer and a bunch of hardware synth and drum machines of hardware, with the mastodontic Oberheim OB-8 synthesizer as the main partner. While in the UK the vast majority of kids showed a certain rejection of what came from North America in the form of electro, Kirk Degiorgio, under his alias As One, embraced it openly and incorporated it into his productions along with influences from other genres that he had already adored since he was young, such as jazz, soul or funk, thus becoming one of the true early adopters of Detroit techno in the UK. Reflections is a challenge in itself, and even more so considering what the consumption pattern of electronic music was in the early '90s. Three decades later Lapsus Records has been able to access the pre-masters extracted from the original DATs to build a special 30th anniversary edition within its Perennial series. For the occasion, this reissue not only offers the tracks included in the first edition, it also adds the songs "The Priestess" -- never released on vinyl before -- and "Forgotten Memory" -- until now unreleased and rediscovered in one of the DATs dating back to 1992 from the Reflections recording sessions. This is the definitive edition of an album that, despite coexisting with the explosion of the rave movement, would pave the path for the UK-Detroit connection. View all titles by this artist
