Bleep

Excellent reissue from Fantasy Love Records here. Mark A. Mitchell was acquainted with a certain Juan Atkins while the two were at college, so when Atkins scored a record deal for his new group Cybotron he invited Mitchell to the studio to cut a couple of tracks. The resulting single, ‘How can I?’/’All Your Love’, originally surfaced in 1983 on Balladeer Productions. ‘How Can I?’ is a highly unusual joint, combining as it does the sultry soul vocals of Mitchell with a slow, menacing synth-funk instrumental that has a little John Carpenter to it. On the flip, ‘All Your Love’ has more of the early techno vibe we would expect from an Atkins joint.
