I was listening to his live in Chicago PA again on the bus tonight, and I
think there are two possible responses to this:
a) he is the real 'subliminal seducer'.
b) he can't orchestrate a track to the point of finishing it at a length
greater than 4 minutes.
I think anyone familiar with his work will agree the answer is 'a', and
Carl
Craig is not, if fact, the subliminal seducer. ;) Or maybe they both are in
different ways?
Whilst I would like to claim (a) above, I should own up and confirm (b). I
often have problems finishing tracks - however rather than trash it because
it's short and hence 'unfinished', if I am happy with the track as it is,
wringing it out and extending it to the industry standard length seems
pointless.
One of my favourite tracks, Drexciyas' "Sighting in the Abyss" is 2-3
minutes long and I always hated the fact that such a stunning track was so
short. But the length ties in with the track title - it is fleeting and once
you catch a glimpse, hopefully you'll want to hang around to try and catch
it again.
