Planet E & SSR present:
Carl Craig "More Songs About Food And Revolutionary Art"
How do you begin to tell the story of Carl Craig? Do you talk about his
groundbreaking releases for labels like Transmat, Fragile, Retroactive and,
of course, Planet E? Or do you talk about the city of Detroit and the way
that Carl Craig has created his own unique and compelling vision of Techno?
Maybe we should also talk about his breathtaking remixes for artists as
diverse as Tori Amos, Yello and Basic Channel. And in that case we also
have to talk about Carl Craig's status as dance music's underground hero -
a producer who declares innovation and individualism as prerequisites for
taking electronic music forward into the 21st century...
Sometimes all this can be confusing, since Carl Craig has adopted a series
of multiple musical personalities beginning with Psyche (for 1989's
"Crackdown" single on Transmat) and stretching through 69 (1991's pivotal
"Four Jazz Funk Classics" predicated a whole new direction for techno) and
Paperclip People (responsible for huge dancefloor successes with classic
singles like "Throw", "The Climax" and "The Floor"). But all around the
world, Carl Craig has made a difference in the way people perceive and
listen to modern music.
Take Innerzone Orchestra's percussive masterpiece "Bug In The Bassbin" for
example. In 1995 as drum'n'bass hit the musical headlines, even Goldie was
declaring that "Bug..." was a seminal influence on the music's development.
In the same year, Carl Craig's debut album Landcruising was described as
"completely ahead... futuristic, gorgeously new... a sonic travelogue built
like a drag racer fuelled on abstract visions and compelling
analogue/digital fusions - someday all albums will be made this way!"
Despite the myriad changes, trends and critical shifts which have occured
in electronic music since Carl Craig's first release he has consistently
pushed forward, challenging musical boundaries and preconceptions. His
exceptional new album "More Songs About Food & Revolutionary Art" delivers
further proof that Carl Craig's chosen task is to remap the future...
From the pristinely romantic electronic jazz of "At Les" to the edgily
inventive "Goodbye World", this is music which offers a glimpse into
tomorrow. Recorded in London and of course Detroit, "More Songs About Food
& Revolutionary Art" features a rare collaboration with the legendary
Derrick May (on "Frustration") together with Carl's unique creative
abilities on innovative tracks such as "Televised Green Smoke", "Suspiria"
and "Red Lights".
"More Songs About Food & Revolutionary Art" takes the next step into Carl
Craig's beautifully-crafted universe. Welcome to his world...
