(2021) Kenny Larkin - Azimuth [Expanded Edition]
Review:
Kenny Larkin is reissuing his debut album, Azimuth through his Art of Dance label. The Detroit techno classic originally came out on Warp Records in 1994. The new version was remastered from the original DAT tapes and sources by Curve Pusher and comes as a double-LP with a bonus 10-inch, with a couple of rare tracks that were only included with a limited edition of the original pressing. “After doing dance music for almost 30 years, it was time to reach back and look at what got me to where I am today,” says Larkin. “Azimuth was my first album project to help establish me as a Detroit techno artist. This is one of many of my older projects that I wanted to introduce to current and older fans of techno. It should compliment my new album I’m working on perfectly. You’ll be able to connect the dots from the past to the present, and see the evolution of my sound.” Larkin’s work has evidenced a sharp turn away from the dancefloor, incorporating compositional elements of ambient and armchair techno, while remaining true at least in spirit to his roots. Azimuth is a pretty successful example of this trend, although the combination works best on tracks such as “Funk in Space” where rhythmic play is given fuller reign. — AMG
