Review by May 28, 2003
Well, it seems that this release had been repressed these past 5 years, so happily, there must be more people who knows it now :-) . "Static friendly" is a terrific crunchy breakbeat track, weirdly groovy as good Detroit sound can be, ultra minimalistic: a major dj tool.

For this album Carl got his inspiration from the group Liaisons Dangereuses with the self named album Liaisons Dangereuses. Mister Craig single handedly made here the blue print for the Birmingham sound which now dj's like Surgeon, Regis, James Ruskin & max duley are most famous of. A stunning ground breaking album with the darker side of Carl Craig. Is there anything Carl Craig can't do?
Rated 5/5

This is a fantastic record; I can’t believe I didn’t pick up on it earlier. Evolution is a timeless classic, still sounds fresh 15 years later. Its chilled tone and addictive snare pattern, enables you to sneak it into a variety of sets & styles.
Rated 5/5

I find this record (specifically "Galaxy") such a timelessly great example of Detroit Techno. With it's haunting pads and laid back percussion loops it should be studied and taken on board by all people wishing to produce music and label it techno.
Considering the year of release, you have to take your hat off (once again) to Carl Craig for such forward thinking.
