ALBUM OF THE DAY: Urban Tribe - The Collapse of Modern Culture (1998)



Urban Tribe is the project of Detroit producer Sherard Ingram, who brought in an impressive ensemble for his debut, "The Collapse of Modern Culture".  The expansive album ranges from dub-techno to downtempo and deep-house, strengthened by contributions from Carl Craig, Kenny Dixon Jr. (Moodyman) and Anthony "Shake" Shakir, all of whom lend their distinctive flavor to the atmospheric tracks.  In many ways, Urban Tribe is a supergroup of second-wave Detroit techno icons, though the group's leader, Ingram, is probably the least-known of the bunch.
