Who else but the techno godfather could sum up the music`s history efficiently in less than an hour? Beginning with two Detroit classics (his own "No UFOs" and Derrick May`s "Nude Photo"), Juan Atkins plays connect-the-dots through garage and early house (Blaze, Martin Circus), minimalist techno (Rob Hood, Walt J) and the music`s growing experimentalism during the mid-`90s (courtesy of Maurizio and his own Infiniti project). The mixing is much more raw than on a live Atkins date, perhaps a reaction to the dozens of seamless (read: overdubbed) mix albums already on the market. In any case, Wax Trax! Mastermix, Vol. 1 is an excellent trip through the annals of Detroit techno. ~ John Bush
