Copy 'n pasted this:

Third Wave techno artist Kenny Larkin is the member of a new
school of Detroit-based musicians taking the city's famous
brand of hard-edged musical futurism into new and innovative
areas. Although he missed out on the style's formative years
in the mid- to late '80s due to a stint in the military,
Larkin, a Detroit native, was brought up to speed upon his
return by the likes of Juan Atkins and Derrick May, the
latter of whose weekly radio shows inspired Larkin to pursue
music production. Heavily rooted in house, Larkin quickly
incorporated techno's formal characteristics into a
brazen-yet-refined style that places his music somewhere in
between Detroit and Chicago, combining house's more swinging
rhythmic vibe and soft edge with techno's muscular backbeat
and experimental zeal. He released a pair of 12-inches —
"We Shall Overcome" and "Integration" — on the Richie
Hawtin/John Acquaviva label Plus 8 in the early '90s before
moving on to release material through Buzz, Warp, and R&S.
Massively influential on British and German, as well as
American strains of techno, his tracks have appeared on a
number of notable compilations documenting new-school
Detroit talent. His exposure abroad has also translated, as
with a number of Detroit originals such as Jeff Mills and
Carl Craig, into a level of European success far surpassing
that at home. [See Also: Dark Comedy] — Sean Cooper

that's a very good album. Though some would say it is
outdated now.

1994 it was. If you play it at 45 rpm it sounds like it's
from 1997 :)

Which of course you can't do with a CD

Still, like tune says, good album.
