His remix of Alter Ego's 'Gary' is ridiculous, feels in equal parts big room 2004 electrohouse, Krautrock and that overblown nu-Carl Craig sound we're not really supposed to call space battle techno anymore. Tremendous though.

I've not heard that Matt DC, I'll have to check it out. Also, I'm glad to see that "Angel" (not the Caya Dub version) is finally more widely available with the download version of Sessions. To my knowledge, that version, with the spoken vocals that I love for their I-really-really-mean-this-but-this-is-some-serious-over-the-toppedness, was only available as the "(Japanese Mix)" on the Japan-only From The Vault: Planet E Classics Collection Vol. 1 (http://www.discogs.com/release/782269). It is definitely top five of this decade for me.

"Angel (Japanese Mix)" is amazing, yes.

titchy, the sessions CD is probably what you should get if you want a mix.

so much good stuff not on Sessions :(

blueski, Thursday, 22 May 2008 12:44 (sixteen years ago) link

69 - 4 jazz funk greats ep should do it

r1o natsume, Thursday, 22 May 2008 12:58 (sixteen years ago) link

what do you think should be on it?

jed_, Thursday, 22 May 2008 12:59 (sixteen years ago) link

Cesaria Evora - Angola (Remix) for a start, also
Throbbing Gristle - Hot on the Heels of Love (re-edit)

I am using your worlds, Thursday, 22 May 2008 13:12 (sixteen years ago) link

I can see why his less danceable/more ambient stuff isn't on it (esp. with that re-recording of Landcruising from a few years back - altho you can still pogo to Science Fiction or whatever) but most of my fave CC stuff is like that (Televised Green Smoke et al)

otherwise, Paperclip Man, Jam The Box, the Ultramarine, Tori Amos, Coldcut, DJ Q and Hot Lizard remixes, that 'Angola' remix maybe, 'Think Twice', 4 MY PEEPZ...

blueski, Thursday, 22 May 2008 13:15 (sixteen years ago) link

Angola is on it.

the mix really only showcases his remixes from this decade. there are some older tracks of his own on there but they're only there for context and to make the mix flow.

jed_, Thursday, 22 May 2008 13:19 (sixteen years ago) link

So many options Titchy, whether it's the 69 comp, the Paperclip People album, the rerecorded Landcruising (better than the original), the DJ Kicks, More Songs About Food & Revolutionary Art or Sessions. Andy K always checks for the double mix-cd he did for React a few years ago, but I've never quite connected with it.

Tim F, Thursday, 22 May 2008 13:20 (sixteen years ago) link

Angola wasn't on my version - but I know there were differences between the promo, retail and download releases.

Never heard the new version of Delia and Gavin for this reason, too.

why are people recommending things that aren't The Secret Tapes Of Dr. Eich?

El Tomboto, Thursday, 22 May 2008 15:55 (sixteen years ago) link

I mean if you want a stone cold classic from one end to the other, that's your album. The filler on Dr. Eich comes only at the very beginning and the very end & it's consistently great throughout, the rest of his releases not so much

El Tomboto, Thursday, 22 May 2008 16:01 (sixteen years ago) link

Am I the only one who enjoyed the Detroit Experiment? (well, parts thereof)

ecuador_with_a_c, Thursday, 22 May 2008 16:01 (sixteen years ago) link

listening to sessions now.

its very good. i like.

never liked the detroit experiment that much. never thought CC's work with herbie hancock was what it should have been either.

titchyschneiderMk2, Thursday, 22 May 2008 19:42 (sixteen years ago) link

sessions is the shit actually. fuck, ive missed out on many years of potential techno-liking.

Part of me remix is the shit.

I know, right?, Tuesday, 22 July 2008 11:58 (fifteen years ago) link

Listening to it now on 20jazzfunkgreats, I agree.

I am using your worlds, Tuesday, 22 July 2008 12:17 (fifteen years ago) link

Yup, love it.

Anybody heard the Carl Craig and Moritz von Oswald reworkings "ReComposed vol 3" on Deutsche Grammophon?

I am using your worlds, Saturday, 30 August 2008 19:38 (fifteen years ago) link

i get mixed up with Carl Cox...

Have just been listening to the ReComposed thing - interesting, very crisp... not quite sure about it though...

Kaliova, Sunday, 21 September 2008 16:02 (fifteen years ago) link

I want more information on this ReComposed thing!

This ReComposed thing is great.

Alex in SF, Friday, 31 October 2008 18:10 (fifteen years ago) link

it demands patience but it is a good listening experience. i wish i was more familiar with the source material.

brotherlovesdub, Friday, 31 October 2008 18:13 (fifteen years ago) link

You've heard "Bolero" believe me. This sounds very little to nothing like it.

Alex in SF, Friday, 31 October 2008 18:16 (fifteen years ago) link

you're right, just checked it out.

brotherlovesdub, Friday, 31 October 2008 18:27 (fifteen years ago) link

Some of ReComposed sounds ok and some of it just sounds like the Craig & Von Oswald were fiddling with loops and either unsure where to go with them/bored. Very little fire in this collaboration, I think.

Capitaine Jay Vee, Friday, 31 October 2008 22:52 (fifteen years ago) link

no stateside release unfortunately.

tricky, Friday, 31 October 2008 23:06 (fifteen years ago) link

Yeah I guess there is an issue with the copywrite on the pieces. :(

Alex in SF, Friday, 31 October 2008 23:06 (fifteen years ago) link

we'll be getting this in on CD and LP at amoeba in the next few weeks (next, i think) but It's not gonna be cheap, should be around $30 for both formats.

as for the music, I love it. best listened to in one sitting!

mikebee (BATTAGS), Saturday, 1 November 2008 00:18 (fifteen years ago) link

oh and if you're *not* in SF or LA you should be able to get it through Forced Exposure.

i liked 'at les' but felt disappointed in 'domina'. i wish cc had used more effects on some of the instruments or participated a bit more in general but overall i think it was a great experiment. i'd love to see a show like that.

Love the Jonny L one. The one that brings back big memories for me is his epic remix of Incognito's Out Of the Storm. I was big into Gilles Peterson's Kiss show in 1996 and this helped me transition into techno. It's all about 8m45s.

I guess it's an "edit" because the changes are quite subtle, but extremely effective.

Oh wait this is from last year, I've just been playing/hearing it a lot this year, never mind

ha ha ha ha jack my swag (boxedjoy), Sunday, 23 October 2011 13:55 (twelve years ago) link

is he scared to release an album or what?

jed_, Monday, 31 October 2011 21:16 (twelve years ago) link

I was thinking this the other day. Maybe DJ touring and remixes pay better?

mmmm, Tuesday, 1 November 2011 09:31 (twelve years ago) link

Dj touring and remixes pay. better?

Jedmond, Tuesday, 1 November 2011 10:10 (twelve years ago) link

ambivalent about a lot of carls 00s remixes..was never a fan of falling up, much prefer the orig

post, Tuesday, 1 November 2011 11:33 (twelve years ago) link

Wow, that Jonny L thing is fantastic ... I'd heard bits and pieces in mixes but not the whole thing.
