For Fans Of Dopplereffekt, Drexciya, Keith Tucker, Mid-west Electro Sales Information:A highly sought after EP equally blowing your mind and the floor.Cron is a project where Todd Sines focused on his long-running passion for electro music by exploring a specific set of machines composed of a Synton Vocoder SPX216, a Yamaha DX 100 and an Arp Avatar in a vibe completely different from his .xtrak alias or productions released under his own name. The record visual presentation was equally important as it features 3-D objects created Todd Sines through intentional misuse of mathematical functions, creating unique forms and “scalable architectures”. Please find the complete 1995 liner notes below for more informations.Comprising of an intro + five highly danceable futuristic electro tracks of deep, sharp-edged electric grooves and hypnotic warm cuts that are each an exploration of a “less is more” approach to production.Todd Sines , the artist:Inspired by early electro-pop and hip-hop like Art of Noise, Herbie Hancock & Whodini, legendary Todd Sines began creating music in the late 80’s, ranging from post-punk and industrial to techno and house. His experimental yet melodic techno and stripped-down house music caught the ear of Carl Craig and Daniel Bell, who helped him release records on the Planet E, 7th City and Peacefrog labels in the mid 90s. Twenty-plus years into his career, his recording studio still features a nearly all-analogue hardware environment, with tape machines, sequencers, synthesizers, and many DIY / home-brewed instruments, all the better to help him conjure a future-thinking sound from times past.
