More Songs About Food & Revolutionary Art [Audio CD] Craig, Carl

After almost a decade of sought-after singles, Carl Craig delivered one of the best electronic albums of the 90s. More Songs About Food and Revolu is a well-conceived home listening analogue to the dance-floor pyrotechnics of Detroit techno, representing Craig's knack for producing smooth and clean music that retains the edginess and spontaneity that makes Detroit techno worth listening to. Highlights are the majestic "Televised Green Smoke" and the hard-to-find classic "At Les" as well as the smooth vocal textures of "As Time Goes By..." and "Frustration", a collaboration with the legendary Derrick May. When the dust settles on the hype surrounding techno, More Songs About Food & Revolu will be one of the few records left standing.--Matthew Corwine
