Phenomenal, Based on 2 Critics
Based on rating 4.8/5
Soul in the machine When it comes to shaking speakers, Surgeon, aka Anthony Child, is a master of the craft. This 30+ year techno veteran knows how to put together engaging music, often doing so with famously minimal gear setups, and Shell~Wave is one of his most impressive releases to date. But if you don't listen closely, you might miss the soul in the machine.
Opinion: Excellent
“What is techno to you?” This is a question frequently asked of Midlands-born techno producer Anthony Child. One that, by his own admission, he frequently fails to answer with words. Like any genre, techno is many things to many people: a soundtrack to hedonistic good times, a boundary-pushing platform for modernist experimentation, a lifelong obsession.
