Stakker Humanoid 2007 Mixes (Vinyl LP)

"Stakker Humanoid" is a 1988 track by Humanoid released in 1988 on the London-based label Westside Records. It is described by The Guardian as "the first truly credible UK acid techno record to break into the mainstream."[1]

The project behind the track started out with Stakker, a collaborative project by the video artists Mark McLean and Colin Scott. They needed music to support their video and contacted Brian Dougans. They sent a demo video tape containing graphics and some music to Morgan Khan who (although he didn't appreciate the video) invited Brian Dougans to record two demos at his Dance Studios in Ealing London. The sample "Humanoid", taken from the video game Berzerk, provided the name of the track.

The track was originally called "Humanoid" to be put out by Stakker through Morgan Khan's label Westside Records, though Morgan released it as "Stakker Humanoid" by 'Humanoid' to avoid copyright issues. As Dougans has acknowledged in interviews, John Laker helped co-produce and engineer the song but did not write it, since the session was based on Dougans' initial tapes and explorations for what would become the soundtrack basis to Stakker's influential Eurotechno film.

Very Good (VG): Noticeable marks and some surface noise, but still an enjoyable listen.
