Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
Abstract Funk Theory's creator, Detroit's very own Techno demigod Carl Craig (aka Paperclip People, 69 and Innerzone Orchestra), follows in the wake of such left-field luminaries as Mixmaster Morris and Ross Allen. With this album Craig is handed the dusty-fingered mantle and encouraged to plunder his own record collection. Concentrating in the main on electronic music from the 1980s (aside from George Clinton's P-funk treat "Atomic Dog") Craig uses the opportunity to highlight the range of artists who've inspired, influenced and perhaps most importantly shaped the latter day "techno sound". (Prince and the B-52's included.) Covering the pre-techno bases are electronic forerunners such as Yellow Magic Orchestra with their lo-fi classic "Computer Game" and A Number of Names with their landmark track "Shari Vari". Perhaps somewhat predictably (although in truth something difficult to avoid) Craig also seizes the chance to cut some of his friends in on the royalty payments. Included are a host of tracks from the fellow Detroit cognoscenti, such as Derrick May in the shape of Rhythm Is Rhythm's early Transmat release "The Dance", Juan Atkins' Model 500 project's "Night Drive" and the May, Atkins and Saunderson combo together for X-Ray's classic "Lets Go". To summarise, it's another "edutaining" Abstract Funk instalment. --Found Sounds

2.0 out of 5 stars Too Abstract, 30 Sep 2001
What's happening Carl? I've been a fan for a while but what's been produced here is a collection of tunes that no doubt had an influence upon him during his his early years but in the unmixed Abstract Funk Theory Style, each track goes on beyond what is actually listenable. This CD may appeal to DJs looking for samples or snippets of tracks that they can mix into their sets , but as a piece of work in it's own right it's pretty much unlistenable. Who is this CD aimed at?
