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.

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 (sixteen years ago) link
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.

"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.

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

what is the difference between each of the versions?

oh god the digital version of sessions is over THREE HOURS LONG

another one from that timeperiod (that REALLY sounds like a Paperclip People jam) that has been all but forgotten is this:

not that i dislike his recent mixes, but "angola" and "la mer est grande" are ridiculous. also not comped but awesome is his Hugh Masekela rmx:

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 (sixteen years ago) link
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.

Anyone know when Futurelovetheme originally came out or if it's slated for a future release? (couldn't find anything on discogs aside from it appearing on some French film soundtrack)
― Kaliova, Wednesday, 12 March 2008 10:00 (sixteen years ago) link
I think the soundtrack to Vexille (Japanese, not French) is the only place it has been released.
― braveclub, Wednesday, 12 March 2008 10:25 (sixteen years ago) link
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 (sixteen years ago) link
none of my favourite Craig tracks and remixes are on Sessions...which is a good enough reason for me to buy it i guess
― blueski, Wednesday, 12 March 2008 15:32 (sixteen years ago) link
fwiw, Amazon has the Sessions version with all the single tracks and the two long mixes for cheaper than iTunes. Same omitted tracks, though.
― mh, Wednesday, 12 March 2008 16:09 (sixteen years ago) link
is his Can remix any good then?
― braveclub, Thursday, 13 March 2008 09:50 (sixteen years ago) link
the one going round the shops atm is, apparently, mastered off a low-bitrate mp3.
could it be the one offa this??
― haitch, Thursday, 13 March 2008 23:35 (sixteen years ago) link
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 (sixteen years ago) link
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 (sixteen years ago) link
"Angel (Japanese Mix)" is amazing, yes.

ok i want to buy ONE carl craig thing (or if poss, find a demonstrative mix of his greatness) - what should i get? i want one thing that shows me his why hes rated so much. a mix would be great i think.

titchy, the sessions CD is probably what you should get if you want a mix.

Cesaria Evora - Angola (Remix) for a start, also Throbbing Gristle - Hot on the Heels of Love (re-edit)
― I am using your worlds, Thursday, 22 May 2008 13:12 (sixteen years ago) link
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 (sixteen years ago) link
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 (sixteen years ago) link
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 (sixteen years ago) link
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.

why are people recommending things that aren't The Secret Tapes Of Dr. Eich?
― El Tomboto, Thursday, 22 May 2008 15:55 (sixteen years ago) link
I mean if you want a stone cold classic from one end to the other, that's your album. The filler on Dr. Eich comes only at the very beginning and the very end & it's consistently great throughout, the rest of his releases not so much

listening to sessions now.
its very good. i like.
never liked the detroit experiment that much. never thought CC's work with herbie hancock was what it should have been either.
