As One - Reflections























Label: New Electronica
Year: 1994
Styles: Ambient Techno, IDM

Review: (Allmusic.com)

As on other notable Brit-techno debut LPs from Bytes to Electro-Soma, the first As One album distills the influences of a very Detroit-styled attendance on moody melodies and intricate percussion programming. Tracks like "Mihara" and "Asa Nisi Masa" use an assortment of fragile effects and synth lines to belie the complex, phased rhythm patterns bubbling underneath. The first fruits of Degiorgio's worldbeat bent are visible with song titles including "Dance of the Uighurs" and "Moon Over the Moab."

As One - The Art Of Prophecy



















Label: Shield
Year: 1997
Styles: Ambient Techno, IDM

Review: (Allmusic.com)

The last album of metallic Detroit-style techno before Degiorgio departed for a trip through electro-jazz-funk, The Art of Prophecy hardly lacks for dense percussion on tracks like "Relentless," "Theme from Op-Art" and "The Hideout."

As One - Planetary Folklore























Label: Mo' Wax
Year: 1997
Styles: Ambient Techno, IDM, Jazz-House

Review: (Allmusic.com)

Planetary Folklore is a sparkling synthesis of Degiorgio's percussion-heavy early Detroit material with the exploratory Afro-grooves of Herbie Hancock's Mwandishi period and contemporary work by Pharoah Sanders. The title track and "The Path of Most Resistance" make deft use of some hair-triggered percussion samples, while "Amalia's Mode" and "Libran Legacy" are solid summations of Degiorgio's inspiration from the early-'70s intersection of free jazz and electronics.
