Morgan Geist - The Driving Memoirs (1997)

Originally released in the fall of 1997, The Driving Memoirs is the debut album from Morgan Geist.

"Dedicated to the memory of his sister, Morgan Geist's The Driving Memoirs keeps company with Motor City landmarks by Carl Craig (Landcruising) and Model 500 ("Night Drive: Time, Space, Transmat"). In a bit less than an hour, Geist cruises through ten tracks of exquisite, finely tuned techno with an eye to the percussion-programming finesse of early Black Dog (circa Bytes) and the reflective, haunting electro-jazz of early As One. But The Driving Memoirs does much more than cycle through its influences; taken in whole, it's a state-of-the-art techno masterpiece that's more than worthy of its predecessors and arguably the best release to come from the highly respected Clear label."
