Merck sublabel Narita delivers its swan song in the form of the compilation Terminal, showcasing some of the best unreleased tracks from its usual suspects. Anyone's who's heard previous Narita releases knows what to expect: hard-hitting techno tinged with experimental sounds. It felt to me like Narita didn't have enough time to say what it wanted to say about current techno music. There's something very compelling about experimental electronic producers' takes of dancefloor music, an idea Warp developed and abandoned with its Arcola sublabel and something I was hoping Narita would pick up the slack on. Early releases hinted at the true genius to come from the collision of techno and IDM, but sadly, beyond a few great singles and a couple albums, Narita never developed into the influencer on the genre it could have been with more time, and perhaps that has to do with it coming from the States and not Germany or the UK. Even so, what we did get out of Narita were a bunch of fresh takes on dancefloor music, and ideas that could linger on or develop more in the hands of other labels as these talented artists move on.
