    • E2-E4 Carl Craig did a version of this classic track

      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!" -- http://www.crammed.be/ssr/artists/craig/ssr188p_.htm


      With releases under BFC, Psyche, Paper Clip People, 69 and Innerzone Orchestra, Carl Craig has more personalities than Sybil. As much as his different guises can confuse though, his music is always easily recognized because whatever he does, it retains that certain Craig-ness. A deep commitment to soul and jazz has always been the watermark of his music. Even when Craig is destroying dance floors with such songs as the classic “Throw,” there is always a subtleness and attention to detail that separates his music from that of the typical Johnny-come-lately dance music producer.

      Back in the day, Detroit radio was king! Detroit airwaves were controlled by selectors that were more than entertaining. They were inspirational. Whenever a hot new record would hit the airwaves, people in this city would lose their minds! I remember when I heard Cybotron’s “Alley’s of Your Mind” and Kraftwerk’s “Pocket Calculator” for the first time on the Electrifying Mojo’s radio show. The next day at school, everyone was talking. Or the first time that I heard The Wizard cut up the words “It’s Time.” It was such an unbelievable sound. Damn, it was the sound of the future. What happened to those days?
