A reissue straight from the prestigious 〈SOLID GROOVE〉 label—run by AUBREY, a heavyweight in the UK techno scene, and a label that has captivated legends like DERRICK MAY and TERRY FRANCIS! The original was released on 〈OFFSHOOT〉 and has long been a highly sought-after classic. The title track, “Marathon” (sample 1), combines a liquid synth refrain with a dubby bassline and a staccato lead synth, creating a sound that’s heavy yet imbued with a sense of floating. “Evacuation” (sample 2) features hard-edged leads and mechanical drums swirling in a psychedelic vortex. “6 Pole” (sample 3) is a stylish techno track brimming with soulful elements.
