"If you've the slightest interest in today's electronic music, most of the acts on this first Clone label compilation require no introduction. If you've dabbled in disco, toyed with techno, or enjoyed any electro over the last few years, then you'll appreciate the significance on the global stage of this enterprising independent company from Rotterdam. In its restless quest for quality, Clone has attracted material from some of the finest artists from Detroit, such as Adult., D.I.E., Drexciya and Perspects, and championed home-grown heroes like Alden Tyrell, I-F and Dexter. A modest operation, Clone has achieved all this on its own terms, without compromise and hype, by allowing the music to speak for itself. The fact that this album brings together magical tracks by masked marvels The Other People Place, Glass Domain, Cosmic Force and Duplex for the first time is, for those who know, reason enough to break out the champagne. For the uninitiated, The Men You'll Never See is the ideal introduction to a world where man and machine coexist in synthesized harmony, where they talk to one another and instinctively understand each other's needs. This is sci-fi soul, romantic modernism, a 70-minute crusade against mediocrity. It's funny and funky, advanced and accessible, but it's melancholy too, nostalgic for an impossible future. This is the stuff that perks up dancefloors, the DJ's secret friend, and will remain in your iPod forever. To some this impeccable collection of seductive electro, digital funk and energetic disco may sound retro, to others it might seem boldly futuristic, a glorious rush into the unknown. In truth, The Men You'll Never See sits happily between the two, shrugging off any attempts at categorisation." Artists: Adult., DPX, Dexter, Alden Tyrell, D.I.E., Perspects, Cosmic Force, I-f, Drexciya, Alden Tyrell, Glass domain, Duplex, The Other people Place.
