Album Review

A bright, shimmering epic where critics and fans had expected more moody breakbeat electro, the debut Carl Craig LP appeared after years of production work and marked the first of many times when Craig was obviously making his own way, oblivious to what critics might think. Beginning with the sounds of an automobile starting up on "Mind of a Machine" (complete with warning bells and a seatbelt click), Craig introduces us to his man-machine world, where cruising I-96 west of Detroit is a sublime night-time journey, conjuring visions of Trans-Europe Express and "Strings of Life" instead of What's Going On. The single "Science Fiction," "Technology," the title track and "Einbahn" continue the journey to its close back in the garage. Landcruising was a change-up for critics, but as usual, Craig proved up to the expectations.

I tend to put this album on and listen to it when I need to focus, but be distracted and consumed by the ebb and flow of music. I like listening to this album when I have to write code or work on wiring or something that's very hyper focused. Even though the album is over 10 years old, the tracks don't have a dated sound to them. The vibe of the album really gives the listener the opportunity to explore and find themselves in the music.

After an apprenticeship...
