Morgan Geist Presents - Environ: Into A Seperate Space



















Label: Phono
Year: 1998
Styles: Detroit Techno, IDM

Review: (Allmusic.com)

A retrospective covering the first three records released on Geist's Environ label, Into a Separate Space includes one track from the first issue (Premise EP) plus all six tracks from the Remnants EP and the Titonton & Morgan EP (recorded with Titonton Duvante). Though the tempos are a bit quicker than Geist's full-length debut, these tracks have a similar emphasis on moody strings and crisp, beatbox percussion, especially compared to his later recordings for Clear and Multiplex. Also included are two exclusive tracks, though both are brief atmospheric pieces.

Morgan Geist - The Driving Memoirs

















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

Review: (Allmusic.com)

Dedicated to the memory of his sister (who died in a car accident), Morgan Geist designed The Driving Memoirs as an auditory account of a long road trip, placing it in similar company with Detroit landmarks by Carl Craig (Landcruising) and Model 500 ("Night Drive: Time, Space, Transmat"). In a bit less than an hour, Geist cruises through ten tracks of exquisite, finely tuned techno with an eye to the percussion-programming finesse of Black Dog (circa Bytes) and the reflective, haunting electro-jazz of early As One. But The Driving Memoirs does much more than cycle through its influences; taken in whole, it's a state-of-the-art techno masterpiece that's more than worthy of its predecessors and arguably the best release to come from the highly respected Clear label.
