Fabrice Lig presents chapter one in his Purple Raw trilogy. "The Track" is based around a jerky, syncopated rhythm and a very dry kick. A great mixture of minimal techno and Detroit nostalgia that has been hammered by Dixon, Âme, Alex Attias, etc. "Bump Bump" is built around fat analog sounds and an animalistic groove that keeps on building. It all ends with the very funky "The Riff Pourpre," a perfect crossover between Metro Area and Parliament. Big, fat beats.

"'Los Picaros' is damned hot sunshine techno with a strong Detroit-flavour. Fabrice produced the track with Jean Vanesse and Philippe Deroyer (who did the live percussion) in Jeans studio in Brussels. It's a brilliant teaser for the upcoming Fabrice Lig album on Kanzleramt (April 2004). The Diego Remix on the flipside features even more tribal percussion elements and turns out as a great Brazilian nu-jazz techno tune."

"After his successful Soul Designer album on F-Com last year Belgium's greatest export returns to grace Oliver Kapp's rather fine Raygun imprint with a timely retrospective album of his Detroit edged contributions from the past few years, spiced up with 10 new unreleased cuts. Obviously then, this is classic Fabrice all over, laden with tight 909 driven percussion (enhanced with the occasional Latin contribution), walking synth basslines, lush strings, and, of course portamento drenched 101 lead lines. As always with this man too, this album is pure Detroit, retaining all the essential elements of that classic sound -- unique, stark programming, jazzy melodic textures, and an ample dose of electronically induced soul."
