Monobox is one of the many essential alias of Robert Hood, the Detroit techno pioneer and boy of the M-Plant label. He has an album of material coming up but two of the cuts here will not feature on it. They are another outlet for the man also known as Floorplan to perfect his minimalist take on techno with a futuristic and alien bent. The title track perfect encapsulates that approach and then 'Homestead' revels in the quietness of deep, cosmic, late night techno with its cinematic atmosphere and sense of devastating finality. Hood then remixes his own tune into a more bulky and shuffling house cut and O Phase debuts on the label with a fine remix of his own.
