Review by mindblow_ May 12, 2012 (edited 12 days ago)
Carl Craig. For me, he's the biggest, the most influential musical hero emerging from Detroit. Yes, that's saying a lot but this album is a solid proof how such a claim can be made. For me, a definite proof that a quality full length Detroit techno album can be made. I'd even rate this as one of all time greatest electronic music albums ever.
So, you know Carl. He has his unique style, far from hard hitting, percussion driven techno. The deal is that we have a wide range of techno here, some more beat driven, some more sound scape oriented, dare I say ambient. Hey listen, the guy has even made a techno tune which has an electronic guitar on it, 'Science Fiction, and it still sounds freaking awesome. 'Science Fiction', which was later released as a single and practically the only single from this album, is a remarkable, atmospheric breakbeat techno which is a great way to kick things off after the melancholic 'Mind Of A Machine'. 'A Wonderful Life' and later 'Home Entertainment' provide more ambient intervals which fit in really well. Then the mellow moods of 'Landcruising' , the energy and technological spirit of 'They Were' and 'One Day Soon', this album is wide range of musical sceneries each and every one perfectly executed.
Released back in 1995, I can only imagine what this sounded like. I found this years later and I was blown away. Trust me on this one, I swear, you really can't put a price tag on this one.

Like the track titles, the scope of this album is vast. Big slabs of synth caress your inner ear and make you burst with positive energy which is heightened by the rhythmic undercurrents, leaving you aching for more joyful experience in this wonderful life (and maybe sharing some of your own).
