    Artist: Terrence Dixon

    Title: Train of Thought

    Label: Yore

    Format: 2×12″

    Release
    Date: 19.09.2007

    Train of
    Thought is not only significant for being the latest album by Detroit legend Terrence Dixon but for being
    Yore’s premiere full-length release. Dixon, of course, is well-known for his
    Population 1 releases on Juan Atkins’ Metroplex imprint as well as for deep
    material issued under his given name on Tresor (From the Far Future) and
    Utensil (Live in Detroit). Other career highlights include co-producing Atkins’
    Skynet album (under the Infiniti alias) and Dixon’s recent standout, Minimalism III, on
    Background Records. Dixon’s
    uncompromising sound is heard in full effect on Train of Thought. The album’s
    tracks range from ’80s-sounding Cybotron-like excursions to raw, stripped-down
    techno and warm, chord-driven house alike tunes. The double-vinyl set includes
    rapturous settings of synthetic sound (“Intro”) and swinging cuts
    whose burbling keys, pounding kick drums, and brisk hi-hats evoke the brilliant
    sheen of Detroit techno (“Twilight,” “Splender”). The striking
    “Links” showcases Dixon’s most artistically innovative side by pairing a
    locomotive tech-house pulse with complex vibraphone patterns that may remind
    listeners of Steve Reich’s music; it’s no exaggeration to state that nothing
    like “Links” has ever been heard in dance circles before. In “Ivory Coast,” Dixon weds a relaxed, midtempo groove with
    dreamy chords and evocative melodies to suggest the onset of twilight at a
    remote African American outpost. Last but not least there’s an Andy Vaz Remix
    of Terrence Dixon’s “Lost” track which original tune was on his last Background
    records release.Throughout Train of Thought, his conceptual reach elevates his
    music to a highly personalized realm where dance rhythms seamlessly blend with
    inspired compositional ideas. Though his music may invite comparison to
    Drexicya and Atkins, Dixon’s
    music-often imitated but never duplicated-ultimately stands alone.
