Within the last 5 years or so, the Detroit underground has been experimenting with technology, stretching it rather than simply using it.

I think Dan [Bell] and I both realized that something was missing - an element…in what we both know as techno. It sounded great from a production point of standpoint, but there was a 'jack' element in the [old] structure. People would complain that there's no funk, no feeling in techno anymore, and the easy escape is to put a vocalist and some piano on top to fill the emotional gap. I thought it was time for a return to the original underground
