1 2 3

Scape reissues Pole's legendary first three consecutive albums, 1 (1998), 2 (1999), and 3 (2000) in an ultimate trilogy 3CD package, including four bonus tracks. This reissue is a deliberate statement reinforced by the numbering and stringent monochrome three-color cover art. Minimalism as a form of art.

Like many genres and movements before it, techno has been declared dead more than once. Yet this does not matter to Pole one iota. He never restricted his trademark sound to techno or any other genre and his trilogy, a classic already, still resonates in contemporary electronic music. Pole's unmistakable crackles have infiltrated mainstream pop and even the burgeoning dubstep scene. Now, with the reissue of his first three albums, listeners get a chance to experience these three records as a coherent entity and explore this defining benchmark in the history of electronic music.
