Darla Records and Justin LaBo (Technicolor) are proud to bring you an expanded edition of Technicolor's Bliss Out Series LP Normal Control Range (2000) with bonus tracks from the A1C EP, which was originally released (2001) on CD EP only via Dogprint Records. This is the first time the A1C EP tracks have been available for download and streaming.
Original release text:
Justin LaBo is uniquely talented in creating song oriented, melodic soundscapes with his own brand of computer-based, electronic pop. He honed his production skills with label mates Sean Flowchart, Kenric Junior Varsity KM, Roby & Viet Sweet Trip and Jimmy Figurine and built a tangle of new equipment.
Justin's Bliss Out Series LP Normal Control Range contains elements of drum & bass, techno, dub and house all freshly blended in a hi-tech computer-and-sampler-generated instrumental paradise. His evolutionary electronic compositions create a new form and a new conversation about where dance and electronic music are headed. The blend of genres and fresh perspective on the meeting of beat and melody present on Normal Control Range is similar to the ideas on the first LP, One Touch Test Strip (Fuzzy Box), only augmented.
As XLR8R wrote of One Touch Test Strip, "I liked this album, if only for its complete lack of adherence to 'dance music' stylings. Purists beware, music lovers recommended".
Alternative Press said "Look out! Justin LaBo is a force to be reckoned with."
Magnet predicted, "This young man will soon be writing scores to the top films".
