Think I've been caught napping......
Never had the pleasure of seeing Carl Craig live, own a few of his records but never really got massively into him.
Downloaded this recently though:
http://electronic-sets.com/?p=297
Blown away. The most futuristic sounding music I've heard in a long time.
Does anyone have this mix? Are all the tracks Carl Craig tracks? Its a studio mix for k7 records....
Is he always this good? Has he always been this good? Is this style new?
Someone give me some pointers please, having got bored of plinky minimal things lately I'm suddenly really excited.

His labels Retroactive and Planet e have had some pretty seminal releases on them.
for me, one of the most consistently brilliant producers since 1990.

or sometimes hes just plain boring
i know that ill probably get linched, but i didnt enjoy paperclip people that much
"at les", on the other hand, is one of the most emotive songs ever.So. Behind their eyes the hope in them was sickening, and in many, dead. They lived from event to event with a subtle terror of the gap between, filling up their lives with distractions to avoid the emptiness where curiosity should have been, and breathing a gasp of relief when the children passed the point of asking questions about what life was for.

This mix wasn't worth the hype.
I agree with the boring. Certainly confirms yet again that big names aren't always at the forefront of decent music.
I want my money back.

I was hoping for less dancing round handbag and more dancing round carrier bag with a decapitated sheeps head in. I just wanted it dark. Originally Posted by koma

Carl Craig has always been awesome, first got introduced to his music after seeing an interview with him in Future Music years ago.
Life is "trying things to see if they work"

I have a couple of his releases, one of the records I have has a great instrumental track on it. He is a legend of a producer.
