General Production Recordings was set up in theory in 1989 by Wayne Archbold, who witnessed the explosion of the Detroit "Techno" scene in the UK firsthand. At the time Wayne had noticed that these landmark recordings were as much for the mind as well as packing dancefloors up and down the country. Between 1989-90 Wayne set down his strategy: to release Avant-Garde computer-sequenced music of individual character, as Wayne thought the Dance music industry was too "throw-away", tracks being mere carbon copies of each other, with short-term potential and lacking real human input. The label was launched officially in 1991, the year of the hardcore breakbea(s)t. GPR broke the trend by exposing the sublime (and at the time, unknown) Black Dog. Continuing in this vein was (and still is) the game plan and many journalists and other media people have struggled to pigeonhole GPR, at times described as ambient, "intelligent" techno, armchair electronica and countless other meaningless and trivial buzzwords. GPR is a versatile and open-minded independent recording label and if there is one word that must be used to describe the ethos, outlook and output of GPR, then that word must surely be QUALITY.
Well, all right, then!
