Album Notes Return, if you will, to England, summer of 1993. Jungle is still club fodder, dominated by the rough, ragga-muffin rave anthems of hardcore breakbeat. Manchester's A Guy Called Gerald (Simpson, formerly of 808 State) breaks with the scene in spectacular fashion, leading the charge in a startling new direction with the freaked Afro-cybernetic experimentalism of "Voodoo Ray." Like his Detroit heroes, Gerald translates the legacy of his ancestors' drums and tribal rhythms into the electronic voice of creeping urban paranoia. He is among the first to crystallize the modern apparitions of drum-and-bass. 1995's BLACK SECRET TECHNOLOGY, a bewildering mix of tight breakbeats, techno textures, and flickering, dream-struck voices, has been often imitated but never equaled. Gerald credits much of his work to serendipity, but that doesn't explain the staggering cybernetic wallop packed by "Alita's Dream" and "Survival," or the supreme sensuality of "The Nile." The album is woven through with perfect techno-pop bridges, confronting the harsh realities of technology with the life-affirming spirituality of Gerald's club-classic debut, AUTOMANIKK. Balanced on the razor edge between mysticism and frenzy, TECHNOLOGY remains a powerful comment on the eternal struggle between man and his future.
