Much needed reissue of the second and final Stasis album following his Inspiration [1994] LP and the Redcell : Stasis [1993] hook-up with B12.

On this first vinyl reissue of Fromtheoldtothenew we’re reminded of the importance Steve Pickton a.k.a. Stasis played in bridging between the Artificial Intelligence scene in the UK and second wave Detroit Techno.

It’s a sound that oscillates between nimbly loose salsa and breezy new age pads in Utopia Planetia and deep but rugged pressure on Behind The Smile, thru to tribal business on Beating Skins and the kind of downbeat, hip hop-leaning instrumentals that also saw him signed to Mo Wax.

Followers of classic Carl Craig, Kenny Larkin, Dan Curtin, early The Black Dog, Plaid, the Likemind label, B12 etc should dip in.
