More Songs About Food and Revolutionary Art

Carl Craig makes machines phrase like jazz on More Songs About Food and Revolutionary Art. Swing, harmonic movement and shifting textures animate the tracks inside structures that could easily have become rigid. It grows rather than arrives, and repays the patience in full.

The city's most complete album. Machine funk with real harmonic movement underneath, made by someone who heard techno as jazz and had the writing to back the claim up.

Craig spent his career insisting this music belonged next to jazz rather than beneath it. Here he stops insisting and does it, with harmonic movement almost nothing else at this tempo attempts, and without ever sounding like a producer showing off his range.
