Enter is the debut studio album by American techno group Cybotron, released in 1983.[5] In 1990, it was reissued under the new title Clear.[5] In 2013, it was reissued under the original title, Enter, with additional bonus tracks.[5]

## Critical reception

[edit]

John Bush of AllMusic gave the album 5 stars out of 5, saying: "The collision of [Juan] Atkins' vision for cosmic funk and the arena rock instincts of Rick Davis results in a surprisingly cohesive album, dated for all the right reasons and quite pop-minded."[1] Lee DeVito of Metro Times said, "Enter aims to do a lot of things here, but, thanks to driving drum machine beats, dancing and escapism almost always top the agenda."[2] According to Miles Raymer of Pitchfork, who gave the album an 8.7 out of 10, the album is "widely considered to be where Detroit techno began".[3]
