Episode Synopsis

It’s 1991, and Mike Banks, Jeff Mills, and Robert Hood, have been making music together in Detroit as Underground Resistance, one of the most significant electronic music collectives to have existed. Notoriously reluctant to discuss their music with the media, the few commentaries they have provided in relation to their music, declare that their priority with the tracks they produce is the tone or sound. Among themselves however, the three artists discuss their interest in undertaking a project, in which they give the conceptual side of the music as much attention as the sonic qualities. Banks in particular has become increasingly curious about connecting his brand of techno, or what he calls hi-tech jazz, with outer-spatial imagery. It is from this impetus that Banks, Mills, and Hood, produce one of the most conceptual electronic music albums ever made. Released under a project titled X-102, the album is called, Discovers The Rings of Saturn, and features the track, “Titan”.
