Teqnicolor Sound Presents Ian O'Brien

Originally a UK music scholar, O'Brien was deeply influenced by the Detroit techno sound produced by the likes of UR, a sound that inspired him to start recording his own music. This feverish mad mike disease had him producing tracks first in conjunction with Asad Rizvi under the Memory Tree moniker and then on a solo basis for a variety of UK techno imprints. 1997's Desert Scores, the man's masterpiece, is still considered a landmark release by those who cherish the kind of tech-jazz pioneered on the Galaxy 2 Galaxy EP. Though less innovative 1999's Gigantic Days was still the work of a man obsessed by music rather than pose. Reportedly, a follow up is slated for imminent launch on Peacefrog. On Samurai.fm
