Carl Craig is God therefor Search & Destroy

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.

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.

where's this info from? google revealed nothing.

The latest Environ newsletter.

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)

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

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.

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.

is his Can remix any good then?

the one going round the shops atm is, apparently, mastered off a low-bitrate mp3.

could it be the one offa this??

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.

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.

"Angel (Japanese Mix)" is amazing, yes.

love that invisible jukebox that's up on the wire website. esp love how he says 'holy smokes!'

i don't have any santana
what?!

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.

so much good stuff not on Sessions :(

69 - 4 jazz funk greats ep should do it

what do you think should be on it?

Cesaria Evora - Angola (Remix) for a start, also
Throbbing Gristle - Hot on the Heels of Love (re-edit)

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...

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.

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.

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?

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

Am I the only one who enjoyed the Detroit Experiment? (well, parts thereof)

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.

sessions is the shit actually. fuck, ive missed out on many years of potential techno-liking.

Part of me remix is the shit.

Listening to it now on 20jazzfunkgreats, I agree.

Yup, love it.

Anybody heard the Carl Craig and Moritz von Oswald reworkings "ReComposed vol 3" on Deutsche Grammophon?

i get mixed up with Carl Cox...

Have just been listening to the ReComposed thing - interesting, very crisp... not quite sure about it though...

I want more information on this ReComposed thing!

This ReComposed thing is great.

it demands patience but it is a good listening experience. i wish i was more familiar with the source material.

You've heard "Bolero" believe me. This sounds very little to nothing like it.

you're right, just checked it out.

Some of ReComposed sounds ok and some of it just sounds like the Craig & Von Oswald were fiddling with loops and either unsure where to go with them/bored. Very little fire in this collaboration, I think.

no stateside release unfortunately.

Yeah I guess there is an issue with the copywrite on the pieces. :(

we'll be getting this in on CD and LP at amoeba in the next few weeks (next, i think) but It's not gonna be cheap, should be around $30 for both formats.

as for the music, I love it. best listened to in one sitting!

oh and if you're *not* in SF or LA you should be able to get it through Forced Exposure.
