Production and release

After touring in support of his two first EPs on Warp Records, Edgar began working on his debut album with Warp, a process that would take him two years.[1] According to Edgar, his goal with the album was to "capture the essence of Detroit."[1] It was made using software Edgar had customized himself, then recorded to analog tape.[1] He released the full-length album as Color Strip in February 2006.[2]

The album met a largely positive critical reception. Allmusic called it "breathtakingly original," praising the album's "sleazy urban feel that combined techno, electro, R&B, glitch, and hip-hop influences."[1] Pitchfork Media wrote in a review that "There is no new ground being broken but that's not the point; Edgar comes across as a committed student, absorbing twenty-five years of electronic music and figuring out how to integrate and mold the history into something that sits comfortably in the now."[3]
