Following recent Music Man cd's from Petar Dundov and Marcel Dettmann, we now welcome one of Detroit’s finest, Robert Hood. After the legendary Nighttime World Volume 1 and Nighttime World Volume 2, we are proud to be able to present you the long awaited “Motor: Nighttime World 3” on Music Man!
With "Motor: Nighttime World 3" Robert Hood returns to the project he first started on Austria’s Cheap label back in 1995 and subsequently continued in 2000 on M-Plant. Fusing his trademark minimal techno into jazz inspired moods and inflections, Hood emerges from the smoke-lit shadows of a downbeat, but not beaten, Motor City metropolis. Inspired by Julien Temple’s documentary ‘Requiem For Detroit?’ Robert Hood examines the life, history and future of Detroit’s motor industry and its workforce, set against a backdrop of decay, despair, hope and re-birth.
You can listen to the album on our Soundcloud & Youtube.
"Motor: Nighttime World 3" is out now on CD, 3LP+CD and digitally:
Beatport / iTunes / Amazon
Juno / Decks / Boomkat / Hardwax
Here’s a selection of some nice press quotes:
"This is masterful, painfully human machine music." Resident Advisor 4.5/5
“Melancholy, unsentimental yet not without optimism, this is music full of intrigue and depth” **** Q
"The complete Motor City vision." 8/10 Clash
“Robert Hood has raised the bar once more, creating a symphony for his forgotten city and, in the process, his own personal masterpiece” Record Collector *****
“Since leading Detroit’s second wave as part of Underground Resistance, he’s crafted some of the most innovative and above all unique techno records ever committed to wax.” DJ
"an evocative and carefully considered suite" The Wire
“whatever the future of the motor industry, it’s the likes of Hood who always make it clear that the Detroit music scene is as unique and fantastic as ever.” Bleep43
“the album presents techno content as an emotional and spiritual response to the destruction of the city that birthed it.” Data Transmission
“If Kraftwerk’s shimmering Man Machine was a testament to the benefits of humans harnessing technology, then Motor: Nighttime World 3 is the gloomy riposte, emerging from the rubble of a shattered metropolis to tell this sad but compelling tale and crucially, to offer some hope for the future.” Juno Plus
“With the Detroit sound becoming increasingly prominent in the UK at the moment, you could do a lot worse than look to one of the masters for a fresh and inventive slice of techno. “ The Ransom Note
“As a concept album Motor: Nighttime World 3 rates very highly and is a fitting gesture to the subject matter, but it stands up in its own right as a continuation of Hood’s sound.” Zap! Bang!
Joint “album of the month” Textura
