Metaphor

Kenny Larkin’s second album from 1995 is a superb collection of lush, innovative, complex Detroit techno, full of razor-sharp, galloping drum tracks, smooth chord washes, austere strings and clinical synth programming. Like his previous album, Larkin’s strength here is his ability to produce a series of tracks that veer across many shades, moods and styles of techno, from futuristic machine funk to moody warehouse stompers, intricate space-age synthesised soul and twinkling, shimmering electro.
