The seminal Planet E label has just released a compilation of rare Carl Craig tracks under his Paperclip People guise. The release, called "The Secret Tapes of Dr. Eich," features 12 tracks of smooth sample-laden techno including classics like Oscillator and The Climax. This is a "must have" for those who really know and love techno. -->-Lance--- p.o. box 450715 westlake, ohio 44145 united states

That's a pretty loaded statement there, and I'm afraid I must disagree. For me... when I think of good techno, Carl Craig is filed under lame and undesirable. The only thing I've ever heard of his that I actually liked was his Bug In the Bassbin 12", but that's not really techno is it? onnow: alt.frequencies (worm interface) Lame Thread Prevention in Effect: Aaron Michelson --------------------------------------------------------------------- aw-teck'r (autechre) "Everything you Know is Wrong."

Carl Craig is the BOMB!! You obviously haven't heard very much of his material. The Psyche/BFC, 69, and Landcruising cds are great!! I have only found on Carl Craig release I didn't like and that was a single under the name Urban Culture. B i l l S a m u e l s w l s @ U . A r i z o n a . E D U

Ho ho ho :-) And this coming from an Industrialist, no less. The best "Industrial" (quote-unquote) music I've heard in the last 4 years was easily Carl Craig's live gig at Plantasia in L.A. New Year's Eve 1994. Completely blew my socks off and left my jawbone dragging on the concrete. Maybe "Landcruising" wasn't the greatest album ever made but it was certainly pretty damned decent and his 69 stuff is just awesome. His DJ Kicks CD is great too, as is the one-sided Bug In The Bassbin remix 12". I don't want to start a "tastes great"/"less filling" argument here, but I gotta stand up for my Detroit homie :-) - Greg

Has anything happened with the track that was issued on the Muzik/R&S tape last year? That was an awesome track, and very much deserves to be on vinyl (I'm presuming it isn't..) Cheerio! NP - Flight Of The Vulture - Peter Nice Trio
