As famously stated in Star Trek, space is the final frontier, the realm where no human has gone before. One of the defining works of Detroit techno’s second wave, The Final Frontier was released by the Underground Resistance collective, with this particular track produced by Mike Banks. True to its title, the track invites the listener on a journey through a non-terrestrial, swirling, cosmic soundscape that creates a deeply immersive and hypnotic state, and these precise choices, in retrospect, also make the track as an early proto-trance milestone. It is widely regarded as one of the most significant works of the early underground electronic scene, as the track transcended stylistic boundaries and found a lasting place in the repertoires of countless electronic music enthusiasts. Its pioneering status is further reinforced by its early 1991 release, despite Discogs mistakenly listing the track as having first appeared in 1992.
