The King of Detroit, people seem to like him on ILM, so let's leave the 80s and do a proper S&D session.

Search the dance floor. Destroy the records. ;-) Seriously, I prefer going to a dj set I never really understood why anyone would buy a dance record. Omar, do you sit in a chair listening to his records or do you dance to it?

― Stevie Nixed, Wednesday, 30 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

i've never really been into carl craig, everything i've heard is ok but never jumps out at you.

having said that, 69's Jam The Box is superb, although i think robert armani does the 'jam the box' sound better

― gareth, Wednesday, 30 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Is he anything like Craig David? Because they both have 'Craig' in their name and last names that could be first names.

― Maryann, Wednesday, 30 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Stevie, neither. I generally board my UFO, fly to Saturn, take loadsa acid and play dance records.

Search: Innerzone Orchestra - 'Programmed', all versions of 'At Les', that BFC/Psyche compilation (esp. 'Crackdown' and 'How the West was Won', as 69 'My Computers', 'Desire' and 'Rushed' (all on the 69 compilation), first half of the Paperclip People comp. (with 'Throw', 'the Climax' and 'Floor'), first half of 'Landcruising' album. Most of 'More Songs About Food and Revolutionary Art'.

Destroy: 2nd half of Landcruising. Never been too impressed with that 'God' remix.

― Omar, Wednesday, 30 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

No, but he's a bit like Craig Charles, maryanne.

― Nick, Wednesday, 30 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Omar, so you're implying they have turntables on Saturn, ey? ;-)

― Stevie Nixed, Wednesday, 30 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Planet E just issued a most excellent 12" of "The Climax" (!) with a Basic Channel (!) remix on the B-side.

― Andy, Wednesday, 30 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Not only implying, this is a well know fact. They also have the most beautiful girls on Saturn and the drugs?...pffff, really mindblowing :)

Nah, but to get to your question: the dancefloor comes first of course, then you chill out afterwards, then you wake up make a cup of tea a listen to say...Carl Craig! Most of his stuff (save 69 and Paperclip People) isn't really dancefloor orientated. Dance music of course also works very well riding your bike, or as background for cleaning your house or UFO.

WHAAAAAATTTT???!!!! [Explodes with joy]

― Omar, Wednesday, 30 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Carl Craig - Search everything already mentioned, those tracks stand out, but the albums work as long-plays too. I can't say I'd listen to Landcruising all the way through at home, but on the road, that's a different matter. But the paperclip stuff, it's house, it's may not be aimed at the dancefloor, but that's a good place to find it. 'Breathe', it makes me ache if I stay sat down.
Also, should mention last year's Designer Music remixes (sure, he didn't write them), but reminded me of some forgotten gems, Problemz d'Amour - Alexander Robotnik and that 'Moscow/Disco' track by Telex, amongst others. I was always under the impression he'd sequenced the background strings on 'Strings of Life', is this true?
Maybe not a god, too playful, indulgent, not ruthless enough for my taste lately. But a 'prince'. You'll be fine on Omar's recommendations.

― K-reg, Wednesday, 30 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I've never been that into his remix of Maurizio's Domina, which is the only thing I've really got by him.

Does anyone have a report from the DMF?

― Tracer Hand, Wednesday, 30 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

If anyone is genuinely interested in anything I write (which seems doubtful at this point), a short review can be found here:

― Nicole, Wednesday, 30 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Oops, must have wiped out my link. It was in the tod terry thread.

― Nicole, Wednesday, 30 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Thank you.

― Tracer Hand, Wednesday, 30 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Tracer -- failed to visit the DEMF for the second year in a row, despite living a short drive from the location. Opinions from those I know/work with range from iffy to great. Closing night was a bit of a downer. Weather failed to cooperate (imagine that -- in Michigan), especially on the final night to the extent of forcing the fest to close down before May was able to do anything.

Apparently, the biggest disappointment performance-wise was Atkins. Mix was too slow and not without its technical difficulties. The worst glitch hit during "No UFOs," quite eerie since the fest was sponsored by the auto company that uses the track in its new marketing campaign. High point was the Inner City reunion -- no surprise there.

Everyone was in full support of Carl Craig, wearing stickers and such. As for all the drama surrounding the organization of the fest, well, that's another thread (many corporate sponsorships of the tacky variety -- not good). They really need to keep him on if the festival is to prosper.

― Andy, Wednesday, 30 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Still thinking about this one. I just picked up Programmed a week or so ago, and haven't heard it much yet. It does strike me as a very inventive album (as in, it doesn't remind me much of other stuff I know well) but only a few tracks really grab me at this point. I'm not really down with whole concept, that kind of Burroughsian take on the future. And starting an album off with a minute-long answering machine track isn't such an inspired idea.

But okay, from that one album:

Search - "Blakula," holy shit, is this a great track. Weird & complex but groovy.

Destroy - "People Make The World Go Around." The only way I can stomach this is to pretend it's Ween doing a Tracy Chapman parody.

― Mark, Wednesday, 30 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

jesus, this thread has gone up quick! only yesterday was i proclaiming the man as god, come back today and, well, i never realised he was so well known on here. apologies, this really is the most well-informed,interesting, broad-minded source of music writing i think i've ever found. anyway, enough of all that: carl craig- search and destroy. search: he's always been my top man , surpassed derrick may in the mid 90s i reckon,so there's a lot to search for, let's start with his involvement in 'strings of life'; he did the 1989 remix of it which is on a par with the original, it's on mastercuts house 2. as psyche look for 'elements'ep on transmat, this includes a may remix of 'neurotic behaviour' but the original is an abstract masterpiece. as BFC there's the ep with 'evolution'/'galaxy'/'static friendly' and'it's a shame' on fragile, all amazing, and 'chicken noodle soup'/'how the west was won'. the psyche/BFC tracks are compiled on the 'elements' lp released a few years ago. '4 jazz-funk classics'ep by 69 is one of the first releases on his own planet e label and includes the gob- smacking fucked-up techno funk 'ladies and gentlemen'. also 69 'desire', a deep as breakbeat track, and 'jam the box', which bangs, are paired on the 'sound on sound'ep on R+S. top paperclip people tracks are 'throw'/'remake', 'the climax', 'oscillator' and, perhaps my favourite '4 my peepz' a dark house classic. there's also the 'secret tapes of doctor eich' comp which collects most of these together (although not '4 my peepz'. on the remix front, i reckon both 'domina' and 'god' are fantastic but his job on incognito's 'out of the storm' beats the pair, more downbeat with a breakdown and kick- back-in to kill for. 'problemz d'amour' and 'moskow diskow' are warehouse techno par-excellance.you'll know 'bug in the bassbin' from the mo'wax remixes probably, a bit jazzy for me but the original is another story, a guitar-lick and a break looped to infinity. under his own name'at les' is stunning, and his two lps are excellent, especially the closing track 'home entertainment' on 'landcruising', his most beautiful, bittersweet 'song'. as for destroy; i'm at a loss, maybe 'programmed', i couldn't get it at all. sorry if i went on a bit, we all have our passions! ps. there's loads of japanese compilations knocking round, too.

― michael wells, Thursday, 31 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Surpised a bit that Craig-heads (mmm, maybe not a good idea that ;) have doubts about 'Programmed'. I love that album so much. So many cool things going on: those blazing synth stabs in Eruption, that re- make of Galaxy with that simple "C'mon" and "Yeah" is so cool. And Manufactured Memories is my ultimate I Love Living in the City track (the dutch intro to that track is so surreal, talking about outer space, etc. in the most earth-bound language known to man).

That remix of Can's Future Days was pretty neat too.

Just curious: but wasn't Domina a remix of E2-E4? I read somewhere that Maurizio's remix was rejected at the time by Gottsching. True?

new album plz

I am going home now to listen to Dr. Eich over and over until I can stop bullets with my brainwaves, and then landcruising over and over until they actually make an affordable hover-bike

OK who picked up the reissue / remaster / re-edit of "landcruising"?

fucking INCREDIBLE.

― vahid (vahid), Friday, 9 December 2005 05:05 (nineteen years ago)

I didn't, but I spent all last week listening to his Just Another DayEP on Planet E, which is probably the best work he's ever released, IMHO. Everything about that record, from the dropping bombs on the cover to the steady 4/4 and nearly bursting minor-key synths on Sandstorms is just astounding. Definitely search this one.

― Jena (JenaP), Friday, 9 December 2005 05:12 (nineteen years ago)

hmm ... i think his best work is the "4mypeepz" ep

nice to see "sandstorms" is the hot techhouse comp track of the year (detroit division) ... up there w/ "safari" and "token mathew jonson track", anyway.

― vahid (vahid), Friday, 9 December 2005 05:32 (nineteen years ago)

I'll be sure to check that EP out, Vahid.

― Jena (JenaP), Friday, 9 December 2005 05:35 (nineteen years ago)

I like the new version of Landcruising so much that I might not ever listen to the original again. Craig went on a tear this year (the 12", Landcruising '05, the Theo Parrrish remix, the Fabric mix [which I unjustifiably slammed elsewhere]).

― Andy_K (Andy_K), Friday, 9 December 2005 10:35 (nineteen years ago)

OK who picked up the reissue / remaster / re-edit of "landcruising"?

Fuck that thing. Of course if CC want to trade it in for my original cd, I'll have a go.

But yeah Just Another Day is beautiful, I could gave used an album full of that stuff.

― Omar (Omar), Friday, 9 December 2005 14:00 (nineteen years ago)

Carl Craig really got back on track again this year. There's not only "Just Another Day" (what a great cover, simple and sad with these read bombs coming down). There's also the fantastic Remix he did of Terry Brookes & Aaron Souls: "City Life" on Rush Hour. And the stellar Remix of Theo Parrish's "Falling Up"! Beautiful stuff.

― Tobias Rapp (Tobias Rapp), Friday, 9 December 2005 14:16 (nineteen years ago)

this sunday: carl craig on 6 Mix on 6 Music

http://www.bbc.co.uk/6music/shows/6mix/

― DJ Martian (djmartian), Friday, 9 December 2005 14:20 (nineteen years ago)

ok, landcruising 95 vs 05 track-by-track breakdown

"mind of a machine" - the bass is much fatter on the new version, and it gets down to business much quicker (most of the new versions do). on the new disc, it maintains the pace instead of building tension. speaking of "the pace", it could definitely work as a slow tech-house stomper a la rob hood's "the pace". i sort of miss the electric guitar, but apart from that (and the thicker bass) he pretty much left it alone, although those crazy synth sweeps pop out quite a bit more.

"science fiction" - 95 version was the sound of the funky (909) drummer over the first stirrings of "at les" and echoes of "please stand by" and "ladies and gentlemen". great breakdown 2/3 of the way through and when it comes back ... those strings! the guitar!! it's like vangelis vs george duke!! this one is WAY different in the new version ... much more "techno". about 10 seconds in he drops the jetstream synth squelches all over the place, puts crazy phasing on the high-hats and snares and turns the bassline into a moroder-esque midrange percolator. here the breakdown isn't so much a breakdown as it is a sudden turn into extremely funky stripped-down groove territory. the new version KILLS the 95 version, as great as the early version was.

"a wonderful life" - well, you can't fuck with perfection. 95 version rules the school, ye fules, obviously. the new version is louder and has more stereo fx. it's also got more of a buildup, sort of climaxes where the first one starts. it's really heartbreaking, more poignant and dramatic, where the earlier version is just placid and beautiful ... i prefer the simplicity of the original but the new one's nice too.

so far 2/3 for the 95 version!!!

"technology" - funny, this time the drama synths are bigger in the original. in the new version, the synths seem a bit subtler, the beats are slightly tricked up and have more space to breathe. one for the 05 version, though the 95 is a close contender. it just makes more sense. four epics in a row is a bit suffocating - short and sweet is the order of the day on the new version and i think it makes sense (esp for a remix/remaster project where lots of consumers are already going to have the earlier version and in a post-p2p world where anybody can get an mp3 of the 95 versions...)

"they were" - the only track on the original that didn't really work for me. i just don't like pseudo-orchestral vibe all that much ... theo parrish and rob hood have both attempted stuff like this and it never works for me. the new version adds a bit of chatter to the drums and some new synth work. it still doesn't really work for me but at least takes the emphasis off those synth swoops and puts it on the chord progression and those great shivery 909 snares so it's much more listenable. also he adds a breakdown which gives that great wobbly bassline a moment to shine, when he overlays the martial snare on top it's a redeeming moment for the track. 05 version is a huge improvement.

"landcruising" - the old version is brilliant, but so short! the new version is almost twice as long and sounds much much better thanks to the remaster. that gorgeous sparkly starlit piano line comes floating out of the speakers in the new one and just floats in the air. totally magical remastering job.

― vahid (vahid), Sunday, 11 December 2005 05:12 (nineteen years ago)

"einbahn" - pretty much left as is. the drums and sound FX are foregrounded and the model 500 type synth line is pushed back a bit.

"one day soon" - ok, this version is INSANE. i forget how the original sounded in 97 when i first got my hands on "landcruising" but now it just sounds like whatever, kraftwerk-italo-eno nostalgia piece. the new version runs everything through that crazy fuzzy sucking-down-the-drain filter we first saw on urban tribe's album, adds fat bass explosions halfway through, and adds new strings to the end. gorgeous!

"home entertainment" - the first version is pretty similar to the original, just a bit more going on in the way of development and dynamics. the freestyle/electro feel in the beat is a bit more explicit in the new version. the "caya dub" is a beatless exercise in vainquer-type ebb-and-flow. oh yeah, there's also a remix of "technology" called "technoloambient" that explores similar territory.

the new track, "sparkle" steals synths from something else he did ... off the top of my head, i don't remember what ... it rides along on a paperclip-people type mellow house beat, cool mellow synths and some funky bongo beats. kind of like what you imagine a CC remix of 90s larry heard would sound like. nice stuff.

― vahid (vahid), Sunday, 11 December 2005 05:26 (nineteen years ago)

anyway it's good. i'm not sure if it totally replaces the older album, but it's a very different beast in places ... it's a bit less "techno" and more "downtempo", a little bit moodier and a lot louder. the weaker tracks from "landcruising" sound much better in their new versions and he certainly didn't fuck anything up w/ the timeless tracks.

― vahid (vahid), Sunday, 11 December 2005 05:28 (nineteen years ago)

wow that's pretty impressive about "throw" as that tune is pretty much unfuckwithable yeah?

he did play a couple luciano tracks in his mix today. well i think one quenum track and then a luciano remix of something. super deep chord and bongo techno...really nice.

― tricky (disco stu), Sunday, 11 December 2005 22:20 (nineteen years ago)

Jena: I found it in the discogs forum. There was a more than stupid quarrel going on between Pacou and Frankie Bones - whose the better DJ, who disrespected whom, stuff like this. And somewhere Pacou linked this side:

http://www.discogs.com/forums/topic?topic_id=80674

There are tons of mixes. Some are quite good actually, although I never liked Pacou too much as a producer. Not that it's bad what he does, just a bit too puristic for me. And I have to admit "No Computers Involved" was the last Pacou record I really listened too. I seeing the title I was instantly prejudiced.

is the emusic version mixed or not?

― El Tomboto, Wednesday, 27 February 2008 06:57 (seventeen years ago)

the itunes version includes mixed + unmixed, though it omits revelee (it's chopped out of the mix, too, for some reason!!!) and maybe other stuff too

― moonship journey to baja, Wednesday, 27 February 2008 07:00 (seventeen years ago)

so the emusic version is what i got when i bought it on itunes MINUS the two one-hour mixes.

― moonship journey to baja, Wednesday, 27 February 2008 07:01 (seventeen years ago)

i also bought the 2-CD set today at the store ... figure the itunes money i spent was payback for all of the c2 remix mp3s i've downloaded from blogs.

Wow(!!!) at all the unmixed tracks being available on Emusic.

― matt2, Wednesday, 27 February 2008 17:52 (seventeen years ago)

Comparing the iTunes release (all the digital releases have the same tracklisting), it's missing Cesaria Evora's "Angola" (substituting Psyche's "From Beyond," not on the CD) and "Relevee" on the first disc. The second disc has "Angel" and the live "At Les" added (again, not on the CD) and has the track order shuffled around a bit.

Vahid, you say Relevee is "chopped out" of the mix? Please tell me it doesn't just skip forward like a track was snipped out of the mixed CD...

^^ that's the release CD tracklisting. i guess verve wanted too much money for "angola"??

anyway no idea why revelee was chopped out of the mix for itunes but it's nothing that major, they just fade out at the end of "the melody" and that's it.

the "sessions remix" of "revelee" isn't actually that great IMO. i mean, the new beat is pretty stealth (the ticklish high hat rhythm!) and sort of crunk in a way (those in-the-red bass hits) but i think that it sounds a little rushed compared to the old version and loses a bit of the grandeur of the original.

― moonship journey to baja, Thursday, 28 February 2008 21:37 (seventeen years ago)

i would've also liked to have seen "barbiturik blues" on there, one of his most underrated remixes. so dope.

― moonship journey to baja, Thursday, 28 February 2008 21:38 (seventeen years ago)

it's a shame that the "angola" remix is missing because that's the record that ushered in the most recent phase of cc's style of remixing. i may be off by a release or two, but that's the one where i remember him really changing up his rhythm programming and the sound of the percussion, moving towards his modern minimalist style that works so well on the vocal tracks.

i am happy that the paris live version of "at les" makes an appearance!

picked it up on tues, but haven't listened yet.

― tricky, Thursday, 28 February 2008 21:50 (seventeen years ago)

i think of "angola" as being outside of his most recent style of remixing, but regardless it is one of his best. i cant even count how many times i've banged that bitch out, it always rocks the dancefloor.

― pipecock, Thursday, 28 February 2008 23:50 (seventeen years ago)

you are right; it is outside of his recent style. i forgot that it's already been five years since it came out! i think i just associate it with when he stepped back into heavy remixing/dj-ing mode after the innerzone orchestra stuff.

― tricky, Friday, 29 February 2008 01:50 (seventeen years ago)

"the new beat is pretty stealth (the ticklish high hat rhythm!)"

this! it makes it so much more propulsive and funky. and i never noticed how similar the "revelee" remix was to the paperclip people tracks.

― tricky, Friday, 29 February 2008 03:41 (seventeen years ago)

juno have also put out two unreleased versions of the faze action remix - one's on 'sessions' and the other is different again.

― haitch, Monday, 3 March 2008 01:06 (seventeen years ago)

Morgan Geist has a new album called Nocebo and, ridiculously, we are still
working out an exact release date for it. But we have some good news: we
just received some incredible remix action from Carl Craig on the first
single, fittingly entitled Detroit and featuring the man Jeremy Greenspan of
Junior Boys on vocals! More news on this soon, and sorry to keep you
waiting on it! Looks like the album will be out first thing in the fall,
but maybe we will let the single slip out a bit sooner...

Futurelovetheme is a fucking revelation. More Landcruising-style goodness please CC.

― jng, Wednesday, 12 March 2008 02:19 (seventeen years ago)

can actually answer qn about the new 'in the trees' mixes now - one is like an epic re-edit, longer intro, big beatless breakdown with the string section. the other one basically takes out all the recognisably 'faze action' bits like the strings and reduces it to more of a dj tool.

― Kaliova, Wednesday, 12 March 2008 10:00 (seventeen years ago)

I think the soundtrack to Vexille (Japanese, not French) is the only place it has been released.

― braveclub, Wednesday, 12 March 2008 10:25 (seventeen years ago)

Yes, I believe braveclub is correct and I'm still confounded as to how it slipped through relatively unnoticed at the time of it's release. It is quite nice and Landcruising-y.

― matt2, Wednesday, 12 March 2008 15:23 (seventeen years ago)

none of my favourite Craig tracks and remixes are on Sessions...which is a good enough reason for me to buy it i guess

fwiw, Amazon has the Sessions version with all the single tracks and the two long mixes for cheaper than iTunes. Same omitted tracks, though.

His remix of Alter Ego's 'Gary' is ridiculous, feels in equal parts big room 2004 electrohouse, Krautrock and that overblown nu-Carl Craig sound we're not really supposed to call space battle techno anymore. Tremendous though.

― Matt DC, Saturday, 29 March 2008 18:15 (seventeen years ago)

I've not heard that Matt DC, I'll have to check it out. Also, I'm glad to see that "Angel" (not the Caya Dub version) is finally more widely available with the download version of Sessions. To my knowledge, that version, with the spoken vocals that I love for their I-really-really-mean-this-but-this-is-some-serious-over-the-toppedness, was only available as the "(Japanese Mix)" on the Japan-only From The Vault: Planet E Classics Collection Vol. 1 (http://www.discogs.com/release/782269). It is definitely top five of this decade for me.

― matt2, Monday, 31 March 2008 14:44 (seventeen years ago)

― I am using your worlds, Thursday, 22 May 2008 13:12 (seventeen years ago)

I can see why his less danceable/more ambient stuff isn't on it (esp. with that re-recording of Landcruising from a few years back - altho you can still pogo to Science Fiction or whatever) but most of my fave CC stuff is like that (Televised Green Smoke et al)

otherwise, Paperclip Man, Jam The Box, the Ultramarine, Tori Amos, Coldcut, DJ Q and Hot Lizard remixes, that 'Angola' remix maybe, 'Think Twice', 4 MY PEEPZ...

― blueski, Thursday, 22 May 2008 13:15 (seventeen years ago)

Angola is on it.

the mix really only showcases his remixes from this decade. there are some older tracks of his own on there but they're only there for context and to make the mix flow.

― jed_, Thursday, 22 May 2008 13:19 (seventeen years ago)

So many options Titchy, whether it's the 69 comp, the Paperclip People album, the rerecorded Landcruising (better than the original), the DJ Kicks, More Songs About Food & Revolutionary Art or Sessions. Andy K always checks for the double mix-cd he did for React a few years ago, but I've never quite connected with it.

― Tim F, Thursday, 22 May 2008 13:20 (seventeen years ago)

Angola wasn't on my version - but I know there were differences between the promo, retail and download releases.

Never heard the new version of Delia and Gavin for this reason, too.

favourite 69 specifically:
ladies and gentlemen
desire
jam the box
my machines
sub seducer
microlovr
rushed
pungtang

there were basically 4 eps released under that guise that were collected together as one lp 'the legendary adventures of a filter king', if you can find that you're laughing. not sure if he plays any of his non-69 stuff (guessing he does) but i'm jealous regardless.

Piccadillo mix is great but the Out of the Storm remix is my POO for CC.

Never heard Picadillo! Awesome, thanks for that.
