Tresor Records is fortunate enough to be sitting on a catalogue of past releases that no other label in electronic music would turn down. Three of the nest in this collection were contributed by Surgeon: ??Basictonalvocabulary?, ??Balance? and ??Force + Form? all originally came out on the Berlin institution between 1997 and 1999.
Surgeon??s inimitable combination of Detroit techno and post-industrial sounds emanating from his British homeland found its fullest expression in these masterful trio of releases on Tresor. Tresor Records have decided that its high time to give these seminal albums another airing, and will present each in a staggered series of 2LP represses throughout the year.
??Force + Form? is the last chapter of this re-issue series, centered around Surgeon and represents a turning point both in the artist??s career as well as for the history of techno music. Tresor117 was remastered in 2015 by Matt Colton at Alchemy Mastering, London. - RE-RELEASE

This reissue has misprinted track names on the labels of side C (Returning Of The Purity Of Current) and side D (At The Heard Of It All), but compared to the initial issue [r14104] it has the correct album title on the spine as well as correct track titles on the back of the cover.
