Tribe Of Colin's LIONSPRINTCOMPLETEINTENTHOUSANDPRACTICESTHUSCOMEONE finally arrives and make no mistake, this is one of THE best techno records you are gonna hear in 2018.

Since his mind-blowing 5 Gate Temple album Fruits Of Zion dropped a few years ago Tribe Of Colin has steadily been creating some of the most vital techno trax around. Just check his long sold out Wide Berth white-label and recent collaboration with John T. Gast for The Trilogy Tapes for proof of how much he is killing it right now. Yet LIONSPRINTCOMPLETEINTENTHOUSANDPRACTICESTHUSCOMEONE is by far the best transmission from the Tribe Of Colin so far.

Opener 'Lscittptco' gives off the vibe of a moody dub of Photek's Glamorama before spiralling into field recordings of Nigeria’s Igbo tribe on Babylon Kingdom Shall Fall, while the tough drawn out stare of Guidance ends things with gritted teeth and a swinging jaw. Ascend To Terra Firma meanwhile reimagines an acid techno rave taking place in a decaying space station, before Mmanwu brings things back to work with more field recordings. Yet the true damage is Opium, the bone-dry Eski grime skeleton remixed by Monolake, basement techno with the door fully bolted and the mixer pushed to breaking point. Huge shoutouts for the giving away no secrets press release also: "A mysterious box arrived at the office labelled 'Tsho-Drong Zimpo'. Inside were incense sticks, a bubble wrapped DAT tape with a telephone number on it. We lit the sticks, ran the DAT and a call was made immediately."
