4 out of 5 stars Metroplex: gateway to an electronic dreamscape........2007-01-12

This is a solid compilation of metroplex releases with the characteristic feel of the label: in some ways cold, aloof, intellectualized electronica initially but as it becomes more familiar it gains a kind of intimate and in some ways sad emotionality which paradoxically then makes it warm and comforting. It is a compilation of great historic interest really as through Cybotron and Model 500 Juan Atkins is the originator of electronic music and alot of the music on this release has served as the backbone and template for most things that have come subsequently in the genre. You can clearly hear the Kraftwerk influences. This music has a substance and integrity which much more recent techno lacks. In many ways it represents creative (and non-commercial) experimentation with very limited predecesors. If you are not familiar with the genre or with early detroit techno in general you may find this release a little inaccesable. The only reason it doesn't get a 5 star rating from me (which it deserves in terms of the quality of the music) is that most of the material has been previously issued on other compilations. When you've been a fan of this type of music for over 15 years like I have the main ingredient you are looking for is a relic from the past that you are not familiar with to recreate the magic.

5 out of 5 stars This collection is truly essential.......2006-04-28

This 2-disc retrospective of the techno godfather himself has been needed for some time. For the first time ever, people curious about the origins of techno have a convenient compilation of Juan Atkin's vast body of work under his aliases such as: Cybotron, Model 500, and Infiniti. I personally place Juan Atkins right up there with Kraftwerk and Tangerine Dream as far as influence goes in the field of electronica & dance. With that said, this collection is truly essential!

5 out of 5 stars an excellent introduction to techno.......2005-09-04

I'm a student at Wayne State University in Detroit and have been looking for albums to listen to w/the windows down while cruising down I-96. This is one of them. Juan Atkins is "The Godfather of Techno." Some of these techno tracks are 20 years old and hands down beat anything you hear on the radio or in clubs today. Old school Cybotron beats like "Clear" and "No UFO's" can be listened to and enjoyed ad nauseam. There's not a single bad track here.

            4 out of 5 stars A fresh new start for Lutricia.......2004-09-26

            It was a good choice of Lutricia to leave the German independent label ZYX and move on with a bigger label who turned her into a sort of European Mary J Blige. She's got a strong voice, performs well and sings with emotions.

            5 out of 5 stars The best CD of the year 2002!.......2002-08-09

            Ever since 1998 Lutricia McNeal has been one of the most extra-ordinary female singers on our planet. Now she is finally back with her new release "METROPLEX." I ordered this CD as a Japan improt not only because of the 5 bonus tracks but also because it has only been released in Japan so far. A European version will be released in Sep/Oct 2002.

            "METROPLEX" is the right combination of European pop and American R&B. "Perfect Love" is the first single release in Europe and is just excellent.
            What a shame that Lutricia has only been successful in Europe, Asia etc. and hasn't been able to crack the American market yet. You guys don't know what you're missing.

            "METROPLEX" is her best album to date. There are so many great tracks on the CD. "Independence Day" sounds a lot like her previous European singles, while "Plano Texas USA" is as funky as Mary J Blidge's "No More Drama."
            The catchy "Dreadlock Refugee" could be the next "Someone loves you honey" in her career and it's good to see that she's back with a wonderful set of tracks in a real lutricious style.
