Mr. Kevorkian is still traveling into deep space, approaching his mid-fifties! Francois has inhabited a place where all record trends seem to be leading: the intersection of cosmic, dub, house, and techno sounds. "Road Of Life(1)" is a prime example of the style, pitting rigid techno drums with more fluid "space" synths. Remixers Quiet Village (aka Joel Martin and Radio Slave), coming off an excellent Mudd remix on Rong, drop an even better version with a relentless (and perfectly EQ'ed) 4/4, and a slowly developing synth line that will have the crowd going mental (in the good way). This is one of those tracks that seems to have a brain of its own, let it work for you.
