this album is simply beautiful... Claro Intelecto made his debut proper in early 2003 - his remarkable ‘Peace of Mind’ 12” fast becoming the most discussed dancefloor debut for years, still enjoying re-presses now heading for double figures to keep up with the demands of the kids. It‘s one of those rare records (think Dexter’s mighty ‘I Don’t Care’ or the recent ‘Alcachofa’ album by Ricardo Villalobos) that appealed to both the midnight House kids and the much more serious Detroit electro brigade. Fans of Carl Craig, Drexciya, LFO, Isolee, Akufen and Juan Atkins reacted instantly to the genius at play and have been asking for more ever since. The name ‘Neurofibro' derives from the nerve disease Neurofibromatosis - a set of genetic disorders which cause tumours to grow along various types of nerves and, in addition, can affect the development of non-nervous tissues such as bones and skin. It’s a disease that has accompanied Mark Stewart throughout the recording of his debut album - and has ironically provided him with its perfect Techno title. The album is a masterpiece of continuously shifting mood and tempo - controlling the floor from the Theo Parrish paced deep house of ‘Percentages’ to the piano-driven soundscaping of ‘Baudrillards Supper’ to the crushing Warehouse acid of ‘Back’ to the already classic sounding generic hybrids of EP hits ‘Chicago’, ‘Peace of Mind’, ‘Section’ and ‘Contact’. The simple fact is that Techno albums don’t tend to work. When they do, everyone sits up and takes notice. Think Derrick May’s ‘Innovator’, Carl Craig’s ‘More Songs About Food and Revolutionary Art’, Jeff Mills’ ‘Waveform Transmissions’, The Other People Place ‘Lifestyles of the Laptop Cafe’, Psyche / BFC’s ‘Elements’ and most recently Ricardo Villalobos’ ‘Alcachofa’. That’s more than 15 years of Techno reduced to a handful of albums defining their moment, pushing the boundaries a little bit further. |

‘Neurofibro’ is a techno rarity. An album that works from start to finish, taking in a myriad styles, paying homage to the masters and developing some new tricks all its own. In the end all that’s needed to describe this record is one word : Classic. I love this album |
