A new installment in the “Sleeper Wakes” series from Jeff Mills. Double LP with a color jacket/ inner sleeve containing the story “The Jungle Planet” by Jeff Mills.

“When I first seen the magic of Julien’s work, it was like watching keyboard sounds invert and morph into obscure frequencies of a song about another space in time. He is a master storyteller of the “Other World”. Its such a pleasure to be able to collaborate on this project, The Jungle Planet”. With his perspective, the concept comes to life in a way I could never do with sound alone”. – Jeff Mills.

Jeff Mills – 2087 [AXCD043]

Detroit heavyweight Jeff Mills has always been one of techno’s visionaries, prone to translating great concepts into near-cinematic soundscapes. Given techno’s roots, it’s no surprise that many of these concepts have been inspired by science fiction, and in particular obscure sci-fi films. Inspired by Franklin Adreon’s 1966 film Cyborg 2087, “2087” offers a dark and uneasy but at times brilliant mix of intense dancefloor techno, creepy electronica, woozy ambience and clunking IDM – all designed to mirror the cloying futurist horror of the original film.

JEFF MILLS - The Power (AXIS)

The Sleeper Wakes saga continues… We arrive at a crucial point where the integration back into Earth’s Culture becomes difficult and the drift towards a different type of isolation begins. Traveling four years throughout the Universe in search of discoveries has taken its mental toll and the price of an intervention is high. This album demonstrates the process of a person who gradually loses their sense of belonging. Obscure illusions brought on by an unique ability to control Electricity contracted in “The Occurrence” chapter creates a unwarranted threat to the worlds International Security. Severe detachments evolve that pushes the mind beyond acceptable limits.
