Kenny Larkin hasn’t released a huge number of LPs under his own name, but each one has counted when he has. In 2008, Keys, Strings, Tambourines landed on Planet E and reminded the world this Detroit techno hero was still brimming with inspiration. Like the best of his peers, Larkin has a distinctive touch which sets him apart, and it manifests in relentlessly funky, gloriously melodic machine soul throughout this flawless long player. From the lilting, jazzy splendour of ‘Glob’ to the epic ‘You Are…’, this is techno as a higher form of expression. This new edition of the album comes on Larkin’s own Art Of Dance label, and spreads across three discs with alternative mixes which throw a different light on one of his career high points.
