Tresor 97-99

Tresor is fortunate enough to be sitting on a catalog of past releases that no other label in electronic music would turn down. Three of the finest in this collection were contributed by Surgeon; Basictonalvocabulary (TRESOR 10073LP), Balance (TRESOR 096LP), and Force + Form all originally came out on the Berlin institution between 1997 and 1999. Surgeon's inimitable combination of Detroit techno and post-industrial sounds emanating from his British homeland found it's fullest expression in this masterful trio of releases on Tresor. Tresor have decided that it's high time to give these seminal albums another airing, and now presents a special three-CD box collecting Basictonalvocabulary, Balance, and Force + Form. The box set accompanies a series of staggered double LP reissues, and the original Remake 12s that accompanied each album will also receive a similar treatment. These records include alternate versions by Surgeon, as well as contributions by Mick Harris. All material remastered in 2015 by Matt Colton at Alchemy Mastering, London.
