X-101 (album)
The self-titled X-101 album was released on Tresor in Berlin in 1991, one of the earliest full-length statements of the Detroit-Berlin alliance. Built from the Underground Resistance project's hard, minimal tracks, it carried Detroit's militancy onto German vinyl. The record helped establish Tresor as the European headquarters of the Detroit sound.
