  Luke Slater | CFRB 1010
Slater's work is probably the more straight-ahead of the three (although he's released works ranging from tough, banging techno to lush, beatless ambient) and tends to build on the Steel City's ruddy, muscular frame rather than simply repeating it.
Slater's probably most well-known releases to date have appeared on the renowned GPR label (with Alan Sage and under the names Morganistic and Luke Slater's 7th Plane) and tend to combine an ambient or experimental/textural approach with a more minimal rhythmic framework.
Slater jumped back to Peacefrog in 1996, as GPR's continuing organizational problems slowed their release schedule to a halt, releasing his full-length Planetary Assault Systems debut in 1997.

Luke Stater is a very prolific recording artist working under several pseudonyms making a wide variety of electronic music.
Luke's vinyl debut was unleashed in 1989 under the Translucent moniker entitled "Momentary Vision".
Released only as a white label it stood out for the fact that it was Detroit influenced and at the time the dancefloors rocked to the sound of the breakbea(s)t and so was a brave move that did not go un-noticed by the underground record clientele.

A surface supposition about the roots of Luke's fascination with computer music might point to Kraftwerk as his starting point, but Slater is keen to point out that his entry into electronics came via Afrika Bambaataa and Soul Sonic Force rather than the German camp.
Born in Reading, Luke's parents moved to Horley in Sussex, where the embryonic producer started to play with his dad's old reel to reel tape recorder.

 Splendid E-zine reviews: Luke Slater
Calling Luke Slater a utilitarian may sound a bit pejorative.
In an age of short attention spans, Slater is constantly inventing and revising his multi-rhythmic patterns and then efficiently interlacing them to produce pleasingly complex tracks that are like electronic experiments, brimming over the edge of a chaotic collapse.
The high energy output of Wireless may have a few of you wetting yourr pants due to the extreme bumptiousness of certain tunes, but Slater's more concerned with delivering that extra piece of pizzazz that procures a satisfied grin from his listeners.

In 1987, PCO sent Slater three truckloads of equipment and the back catalogs of Pitchfork-funded Detroit techno labels Transmat and Planet E. With little instruction, Slater began to prove his worth.
When PCO's UK field office reported that Slater had communicated that his next album would be a slight change of direction and that he was introducing vocals, we saw no need to inquire any further.
Slater is content to make his songs as banal as possible, and Barrow is content to croon his moon-in-June type lyrics as if no one really cares.

 Luke Slater: Alright on Top - PopMatters Music Review
Some folks out there are still snapping up electro records and dancing along to that robotic sound, perhaps wishing futilely that the music could lift them forever out of their clumsy meat-and-bone bodies and into a perfect cyberworld where everyone boogies to the beat inside their robot brains.
Luke Slater, it must be said, is not one of these people, at least not intentionally.
Much of the blame for this can be placed not so much on Slater as on his principle collaborator here, vocalist Ricky Barrow, formerly of the British electronica band the Aloof, whose colorless vocals fail to achieve even the arch wit of Soft Cell's Marc Almond or the sullen mystique of New Order's Bernard Sumner.

Luke Slater, appearing in the early 1990s, magpied about between the sounds of the 1980s and this new abstract electronica for five albums' worth of worthy material.
This, Slater's first album release for Mute, is a pumping, thumping effort paid in homage to Vince Clarke's various incarnations in particular and has bags of radio/crossover appeal.
First single Nothing At All starts what is an overwhelmingly optimistic album that, despite being made with electronic instruments, manages to feel emotive, uplifting and human.

 KindaMuzik - Albumrecensie: Luke Slater - FEAR AND LOATHING
A double mixed CD by Luke Slater: Those who have experienced a live DJ-set by the man will know that - apart from genuine phenomenon Dave Clarke - there isn't a DJ on this planet who more aptly deserves the epithet Lord Of Techno.
Running parallel to his immaculately produced, yet insanely intense, releases as Planetary Assault Systems on Peacefrog, his sets are ripping hard and brutal in the true sense of that word, always building from noisy to noisier to Übernoise.
But what we like most about the whole package is that Luke - like that other personification of Underground Techno, DJ Hell - isn't afraid to show off his imperfections and leaves a few mixing mistakes forever committed to CD.

British techno-electro star Luke Slater has included a controversial new photo on the artwork of his upcoming Fear & Loathing 2 compilation CD, which features him brazenly smoking a cigarette.
While Luke's clearly maintained his unwavering commitment to tobacco, musically, he appears to be continuing to change his mind, not least according to the press release accompanying Fear & Loathing.
"Although Luke is generally regarded as a "techno' DJ, on this album he tried to distance himself from this tag", the release explains, "and explores a truly wide range of electronic music across various micro-genres".

 Luke Slater @ 93 Feet East, London : gig review
But Luke Slater, while being the very personification of tech-headedness, has a clever ruse for the live stage - called Ricky Barrow.
From the first track and recent single Nothing At All to the utterly compulsive Take Me Round Again, Barrow's voice was far better live than on record and his stage actions gave the set a focal point for the audience to watch.
Dressed as some quasi-American football star and surrounded by synths, his smooth features and single silver cross-shaped earring all combined to suggest that he was half robot and half man. Which was great for this song.

 Rolling Stone : Luke Slater: Alright On Top : Music Reviews   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
Despite the glaring radio and media support for the popular house and progressive scenes in the U.K., the needle biting beats and sonic experimentalism of techno has gradually been stealing some of the sunshine.
And Londoner Luke Slate -- who has taken a pop twist to the Motor City spawned genre on his third effort Alright on Top -- doing his best to help things along.
At times Barrow's vocals seem unnecessary, complicating the adherence to detail Slater has so refined, as on "Searchin' for a Dream." But ultimately there's enough variety to allow Alright on Top its place as a worthy part of Slater's rather storming British techno legacy.

Quiet and focused, Slater delivers his speech in a careful, measured way, he converses with the reserved confidence of an individual fully self aware and in total control of his artistic direction.
By late 1989, with his partner in crime Al Sage, Luke set about defining his vision on the fledgling label Jelly Jam, a label offshoot from a Brighton record shop of the same name where Luke was working at the time.
A batch of Detroit-influenced tracks were spat out at an alarming rate, a deal with D-Jax records was struck which saw Slater adopting the guise of Clementine, but it wasn't until his link up with Peacefrog that Luke Slater's name became widely known and praised.
