Three releases deep now, Shadow Play transports us back to the nineties with this extra special collection of music from UK wizard Scott Edward. The Bristolian producer dropped a killer series of tracks from 1993 onwards, using a variety of aliases to explore the realms of the techno universe. It’s an honour for Shadow Play to be able to rerelease one of Scott’s classics, ‘Access Activist’, alongside three previously unreleased cuts from the same era. We hope you enjoy these classic examples of British underground techno…On the A-side it’s the Scott Edward alias that handles matters, going straight in with the title track ‘Access Activist’, a mesmerising journey into analogue hyperspace. His flair for composition and arrangement really comes through on this opening track, and leads us nicely into ‘All Is Lost’, a nifty slice of paranoid techno with a jittery rhythm and a pervasive air of mystery.On the flip Scott’s Ultra-Modern Art moniker is at the controls and the change in style is immediately apparent. Gone is the cosmic atmosphere and in its place is a funky, jazzy retro sound. The old equipment gives every sound its authentic identity, which filters through to the final track ‘Brave New World’ – a jaunty number, which uses acid licks, an optimistic b-line and sweet percussion to provide a delightful end to the project.
