Reviews
- Edited 2 years agoTimeless Classic Techno 12", with "Oscillator" being the main track with its laid back vibe, I was always a big fan of "Paperclip Man" with its rough beats and dirty driving rhythm, "Gypsy Man" as you would anticipate has that Crystal Waters "Gypsy Woman" riff with a slight twist along with a deep dirty bassline. Fantastic 12" & well worth a listen.
- First heard this on an hardcore mix tape in 1991, bought from camden market, london..awesome tune. Always use to remind me of doug lazy's let it roll tune..
- Edited 19 years agoOscillator is just a wonderfull Detroit track. Warm synths, fantastic drum programing and a sublime build-up that goes crazy at the end.
This Retroactive release is a bit more up beat than other Retroactive 12", but do not let that stop you from buying it. Like all Retroactive records, it will be expensive.
Classic Carl Craig and a true divine moment in Detroit techno. - Oscillator is a stunning track, one of Carl Craig's finest. Paperclip Man is a dirty percussive workout great for mixing. Total classic.
