{"product_id":"againstnature","title":"Againstnature","description":"\u003cp\u003eContinuing the series of reissues from the Tresor catalogue, Tresor Records announces an updated version of the classic Regis and Female long-player, \u003ci\u003eAgainstnature\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOriginally released in the year 2000, the album represents a pivotal moment in the emergence of the “Birmingham Sound”; a stripped-back sub-genre of Techno, pioneered around this time in the English hub by artists such as Regis, Female, and Surgeon.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInfluenced more by Industrial, Music Concrete, and EBM than from the melodic sounds of its Detroit predecessor, Regis later described the music as being made with a fractured pop sensibility which created a sound that may be faceless but by design loses none of the soul of its American counterpart.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNowhere is this sonic changing of the guard more apparent than in opening track, Washing My Hands, which sets the stage with a vignette of field recordings: arc welders, water boilers and other sounds reminiscent of industrial workshops reframe your senses, placing your mind into a familiar yet unsettling dreamlike space. From this sound- scape emerges a high-pitched, vitreous noise heralding the jarring introduction of Let Them Bleed, the first of several trance-inducing tracks on the album such as Join Us In Paradise, and Guiltless, which layer percussive and sampled loops creating what Peter Sutton (aka Female) described as exotic hypnotics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis remastered edition of \u003ci\u003eAgainstnature\u003c\/i\u003e also features the additional track, Theme From Streetwalker, previously only available on Volume 6 of the Tresor Compilation series. Collected together the album is a key work in the progression of this sub-genre to the dominant form of Techno heard in clubs in Berlin and around the world today.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tresor","offers":[{"title":"Black | LP | x2","offer_id":50454627811659,"sku":"1128816","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/d50cbe91-39a3-4e51-a381-afd804376578_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727185097","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/fr\/products\/againstnature","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
