Underappreciated Prince of Techno #2

In Hebrew, Uriel means the "flame of god". It was one of the many aliases Scott Edward Hodgson used for releasing his records. His releases as Lexx, Majic 12, Uriel were all interesting in a sometimes minimal, sometimes electronic noodling kind of manner.


His "Dreaming of Delta City" release on Out of Orbit records in 1993 is a reflection of the sounds of the IDM days of glory. Rhythm patterns that move at double speed underneath lovely synth pads. Machine squelches that swing with 808 tom toms. Somewhere between Black Dog and Aphex Twin's early work.

It wasn't that well known at the time of it's release and based on the current discogs prices still has not been discovered. Lovely.

Mitzvah #6:
Scott Edward - Integrated Injection
