Robert Hood prägte schon mit "Minimal Nation" Techno in seiner abgespeckten und reduzierten Form ganz wesentlich.

Twenty five years after its initial release, Tresor Records is proud to announce the reissue of Robert Hood’s ’Internal Empire’ album, a master work, then and now... The ongoing importance of this album is indisputable, essential both to techno and to Tresor. It is a history intertwined. This work elevates its maker as master, and remain a cherished moment in the Tresor story, sharing an irrefutable singular magic, sounding as present and indispensable as when first created. To understand this work fully is to stand back and celebrate its impact. Originally released in 1994, ‘Internal Empire’ marks a point of transition for Robert Hood moving on from his previous collaborations within Underground Resistance.
