I'm partial to his remix of the Orb's "Oxbow Lakes" from a few years back; there's this chunky break in the middle section running behind the central piano riff that makes me shake my head every time I hear it. My feelings about the Tori Amos mixes are on the record at http://www.mich.com/~marmoset/freeke-7.html#rev12 so I won't go into them here. I will say that it's probably dangerous to judge a remixer's talents (or lack thereof) on a remix done for a well-known artist on a big label, as such labels often reject more adventurous remixes in favor of safer, clubbier ones. Brock Suter said: : But I must say that one of his releases (I think it's him : anyway) that I do like and recommend is one of those '69' : singles that was reissued not to long : ago. I can't remember the title or the tracks : but it's good, funky stuff. _Four Jazz-Funk Classics_ = 69 (Planet E - 1991) , [recently repressed] A. Ladies & Gentlemen If Mojo Was A.M. B. My Machines Frequency Finale I won't try to sell anyone on Carl Craig here, but I'll just mention that this is probably my favorite 12" ever. -d.w. on now in my head: "Ladies & Gentlemen", "Oscillator", "Desire", "Kao-Tic Harmony", "Chicken Noodle Soup"...
