Showcasing the formative brilliance of Detroit producer Carl Craig, this release gathers highly influential tracks he recorded under two distinct aliases. The collection perfectly balances the raw, propulsive energy of early techno with sprawling, emotive synthesizer melodies and complex drum programming. It provides crucial insight into the transition between first-wave Detroit artists and the ensuing IDM movement.
