Experimental techno producers aren't known for their collaborative faculties, and this record -- a joint production of
Stewart Walker and
Geoff White -- isn't much different. Instead of remix by e-mail or a true, live studio collaboration,
Discord alternates
Walker and
White productions, the LP presenting individual tracks while the CD is a continuous mix. Musical methods aside,
Walker and
White are tremendously effective at creating smooth, point-perfect techno with great ideas sprayed out as if they had hundreds to spare. They also complement each other well, with
Walker's angular investigations providing a foil for
White's mechanically melodic productions, especially indebted to the classic techno-dub of
Basic Channel and
Maurizio.
