Picked this one out of the new release import pile at my local record emporium, and man, is it deep... remixes of the original carl craig track from 1992, but remixed... oh man. Remixes by Peshay, 4Hero, Carl Craig, Claude Young, and Kirk DeGiorgio. Deep bass, slow dubby breaks, jazz mix (!) by carl craig.. best disc i've picked up in weeks. Made my 14" Mirage sub pull *viciously* -- only other thing to do that is Pete Namlook's "VII - Subharmonic Transmissions" Anything else like it out there?

Picked up my copy of the 'Programmed' LP today.... This is going to throw a lot of people. Have only listen to it fully once, and then picked out what I feel to be the stronger tracks. Sounds in parts a lot like 'More songs about...' as you would expect, but everything sounds a lot more polished and jazzy of course. The cover of 'At Les' is stunning... takes all the flavor of the orginal, but turns it around into a full on jazz classic, this is the one doing it for me at present.. the other side of this 10" is 'Blakula' which i think is the most "Techno" tune on the LP... and has also had several rewinds.... Carl Craig has created a (nother) master piece. The best thing I have heard this year. Expect a full review once I have fully digested it. Oh and the the limited edition 5x10" set comes with a Innerzone Orchestra calender to mark down all your IDM related dates!. daniel@yesmate.com Innerzone Orchestra - "Programmed" (Talkin' Loud/Planet E) A1.

just got carl craig's innerzone orchestra 'programmed', and I'd have to say it quite surprised me. as others have noted here, it's not consistent. but my reaction after 24 hours and a couple listens is that the good stuff is great, a very unlikely fusion of electronic sounds with live drumming and (on a number of tracks) other live jazz players. the first few tracks a pretty rough going. there's a throwaway track featuring a booming voice issuing the innerzone manifesto ('coltrane, blakey,' etc.), followed by a rap track that I find painful to listen to. but starting with track 5 ('eruption') things really take off (there are 14 tracks). in addition to the peculiar but satisfyling fusion numbers, some tracks stray pretty far into jazz (70's/miles vein only quite a bit shorter), as well as a great cover of a 70's (?) social realism ballad (people make the world go round) replete with strings and flute. deep flavors and a tendency to elude cliche. A very sophisticated ear at work here, I think... I'm sure I have more stomach for jazz than many here; those that find it anathema should definately steer clear. kurt

I've still not commented on the album, and I expect I'll do a full review soon. However. The first few tracks are among my favorites - the album (for me) has a smile-shaped appreciation curve, where the beginning and end are my favorites. The sag in the middle ain't that low, though. "Manufactured Memories" (the first track) is hardly a throwaway track, IMO. I find it a completely compelling mixture of live percussion from Francisco Mora and programming by Carl. I also am incredibly up on "The beginning of the end", the "rap" track you mention. Lack-si-daisy-cal is the MC on that track and was also their frontman at the Montreal Jazz Festival performance (somewhat less applealing in that role, but hey, that's life.) His solo material reminds me of Common, but his appearance on that "Beginning of the End" is more freaked-out and abstract. I'll post a full album review soon, but I had to throw in an alternate viewpoint for the moment.
