Tresor Records is fortunate enough to be sitting on a catalog of past releases that no other label in electronic music would turn down. Three of the nest were created by Surgeon: Basic tonal vocabulary (TRESOR 10073 LP), Balance, and Force + Form (TRESOR 10117 LP) all originally came out on the Berlin institution between 1997 and 1999. Surgeon's inimitable combination of Detroit techno and post-industrial sounds found it's fullest expression in this masterful trio of releases on Tresor. The Basictonal-Remake 12" accompanied Surgeon's Tresor album in 1997, with additional Versions as well as a remix by long-time Birmingham collaborator Mick Harris.
