  • Juan Atkins' Metroplex will repress a couple of back catalogue titles from the mid-'90s. First up is Robert Hood's Spectral Nomad EP, released in 1996 under his alias The Vision. The valuable 12-inch came a few years after his sole album under that name, Waveform Transmission Vol. 2, and it fits into the chord-heavy minimal techno sound that Hood pioneered. Metroplex will also press up Black Noise's 1997 12-inch Nature Of The Beast. The duo of Mike Grant and Damon Peterson debuted on Metroplex with the 1997 EP and would go on to release three records on End To End, a sub-label of Grant's well-regarded Moods & Grooves. Listen to The Vision's "Spectral Nomad."
    Tracklist The Vision - Spectral Nomad 01. Spectral Nomad 02. Explain The Style 03. Detroit: One Circle 04. Modern And Ancient Black Noise - Nature Of The Beast 01. Nature Of The Beast (Black Noise Mix) 02. Nature Of The Beast (Mike Grant Mix) Metroplex will release Spectral Nomad and Nature Of The Beast soon.
