5.0 out of 5 stars Best Detroit Techno album ever..., September 3, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: More Songs About Food & Revolutionary Art (Audio CD)

No other Detroit Techno album mixes soulful, deep techno with this much atmosphere- and puts it together into a unified album format. Had Stacey Pullen's 'Theory of Silent Phase' been mastered properly, it may have been the winner, but the fact that you gotta tweak the EQ to listen to it means that it loses out to this gem by Carl Craig.

I listen to this album on a regular basis. Even though it's a few years old it still sounds fresh today. I love the combination of analog warmth and digital smoothness with those classic Roland drums. The sheer musicality of this album catapults it beyond it's peers. I can't think of a techno album that works as well as this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not Immediately Accessible, but well worth sticking with it, March 22, 2004

A difficult album to easily assess, as the music is question is so far normally removed from traditional techno, that reasonable labelling cannot be easily deduced. Think of this as more IDM (intelligent Dance music), resolutely suited to home listening. But every then, the cerebral tone of the music, makes this something that casual listeners with be perplexed by. Is it electronica??...Is it Abstract Techno???....is it Leftfield House???, to be honest it's all of these things and more....never really settling into one genre long enough to be categorized. Listen to the Synth styled house on "Goodbye World", then listen to the ambient techno of "Televised Green Smoke", to see it morph between genres. My First listen was an bewildering but startling listen, the second revelled a layer of complexity completely missed the first time.....so although not an immediately accessible album, its one of this album deserved talked about in specialist music circles for daring to reinvent musical genres & demand intelligent investment from the listener.

Carl Craig is a brillant musician and a great songwriter. That's a rarity in electronic music. This album is brillant: filled with original and fascinating tracks that are, at once, compelling, emotional, intelligent, and cool. "Televised Green Smoke" says it all: Craig is the best. If you like electronic music at all, you MUST have this album.
