wow. Im sure you've been flamed out of the water by some of the ppl on here,
so ill try and come at this from a more, explanatory place.but in the end,
your opinion is your own-and you are entitled.
First, Innerzone just isn't Carl Craig "playing Prince" and running around
playing all the intstruments.Its a collective of very talented musicians
(ie.Francisco Mora Catlett-drums etc.-whose World Trade Center should of
recieved a lot more attention IMHO). If you have had the opportunity to see
them live, I think you'd understand this & them more.In addition an
understand to how a traditional jazz ensemble works.
Secondly, it isn't just the _music_ of Innerzone, but what they did _for
music_. IMHO, what Programmed did-and what Carl has done with all his
projects, I believe-is bring back awareness to the important element of jazz
music & the influence its had. Its like Innerzone Orchestra served as a
reminder. It brought alot of techno heads, who really hadn't been exposed to
much jazz, attention to jazz-especially the less traditional sort. Its like
people could listen to Innerzone, and because Carl was a part of it, start
linking in their minds the history trail and how much each correlate. (Ive
said before on here that the social history of jazz much paralells to the
social "history" of techno)
So on that note, i digress and say that I do not love every single song on
Programmed, but I am a big fan of Planet E as a whole,Innerzone, the label's
idealogoy and Carl's music-solo and otherwise. I think without that presence
there would be a gap not yet filled.
But even if you don't like Innerzone's music, at least appreciate what they
have done _for_ the music....I hope I've made myself understood when i say
that....
anybody got an IV for caffeine?
