Profile: Born and raised in Michigan but moved to Chicago in the mid-90s. DJing as a hobby for over 10 years. I currently have a radio show called "Sonic Sunset" in Chicago on 89.3fm WNUR on Friday nights. I love many musical styles but especially deep Detroit house and techno - from minimal to melodic, as long it's underground and has soul. I also collect weird pre-techno electronic funk, italo disco, loft classics, new wave, etc. I also play classic chicago house from the jack trax era to the deep and smooth styles. I have many mixes from my radio show available at http://sonicsunset.com -- check it out if you have an open mind :)

agreed, this sound launched the careers of untold numbers 'detatched sounding' synthetic moody electro and synthpop artists for the next decades. if you listen to new stuff Adult., Le Car, and stuff on Clone records today, it sounds just like this album did 25 years ago.

As much as i like what Carl tried to do to Once in a Lifetime... the re-edit ultimately fails for working DJs because the record is pathetically out of time.. a nightmare to mix and no care was taken during editing to true it up to a grid or keep it in time/sequence. Raw energy, yes.. but the great thing about re-editing what was essentially a rock track like this is to KEEP IT IN TIME so DJ's can mix it with ease and have some fun with it. Instead this is a terror to mix with it and, come on, it's not that hard to do a re-edit so it stays in time folks... it's not just little off, it's all over the place people.. still slammin', but yikes, drop it in and beware.

Samson & Delilah - I Can Feel Your Love Slippin Away - 13-Jul-04 02:21 PM
Wicked boogie cut! Also sampled by Daniel Wang for "Not Feeling It" on his Afroasiantechnubian record on Balihu records.

Duplex - EP 5 - 22-Mar-04 06:37 PM
"Motion Blur" may be one of Duplex's finest moments... breathtaking gorgeous melodic electro... they channel the Detroit vibe very strong.

Designer Music - Remix Vol. 1 - 03-Jul-03 08:13 AM
"Good Girls" samples the Good Men "Give It Up" (which in turn sampled that famous marching brazillian drum-beat thing)...
