- The Detroit minimal landmark is out on M-Plant in August.
Robert Hood's classic Minimal Nation LP is getting reissued this summer.
Originally released on Jeff Mills' Axis Records imprint in 1994, the pioneering minimal techno LP will be repressed on triple white vinyl and CD through Hood's M-Plant imprint in August. In addition to all remastered tracks, the special edition release will come with the unreleased "SH-101," which was made during the Minimal Nations sessions, as well as the rare "Self-Powered."
Minimal Nation was produced following Robert Hood's departure from the Underground Resistance collective in 1992. Drawing from Chicago house, Detroit techno and Midwest funk bands, the pivotal album's pared-down style laid the blueprint for the fledgling minimal techno sound of the '90s. The album was last reissued on Hood's imprint in 2015.
