@James Jays: i had the same problem, but i think it’s worth it to get the whole picture.

Great producer, great music and a great compilation.
But I have the 3xCD edition and it looks like they have used a case built for 1 or possibly 2 discs to hold all 3 discs. Every time you open it one disc falls out onto your lap. Not good at all. Wondering why I didn’t just cherry-pick my favourite tracks and buy them as wav downloads.

he wasn’t playing “Berghain-style techno”, the guys at Berghain play Shake-style techno!

dare i say, a ‘ballsy’ write-up. well done!
ordered this from boomkat and anxiously anxiously awaiting. i saw the man at last year’s DEMF (a crappy after party in some godforsaken hotel). i didn’t know it was him——i just saw some dude sitting behind the decks tearing through a set of raw electro and berghain-style techno to 3 of my friends, myself, and a handful of bored-looking bouncers.

i think his upcoming bunker gig may be a tad different.

for someone who has been discovering a lot of of old music (having been caught in the breakbeat/progressive world until recently) its great to see these kind of releases. even if it does seem a little like cheating going out and buying a bunch of these tracks at once.

will be hunting down in one of the formats for sure.

well deserved retrospective. great to see his work getting introduced to a new audience, and I’m sure there are plenty of techno vets that missed some of these Frictional releases. Frictional 01 was my introduction to Shake’s work and still gets play here.
very nice review Peder.
