hey simon... what's up with these "fill" tracks? they're some of
the
most
melodic and engaging works that i have heard. but they are only a
minute
or
so long! can you stretch any of them out a bit? i wanna kick back
with
headphones and melt with the "fill" tracks for at least 15 minutes.
please.

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?
You could level the same criticism against The Black Dog's 'Music For
Adverts and Short Films', which is one of the best albums of any sort
of
music in my opinion. It's less about each track than the mood changes.
Or...
the whole thing works and is successful precisely because it leaves you
wanting so much more of the same.
As dance music afficianados, I think it's particularly hard to
acclimate to
this style, although I MUCH prefer it to crap DJ's letting records
play for
10+ minutes at a time before moving on. I mean, that creates zero
vibe. No
one does, or should play successive 10+ minute tracks. That's just
stupid.
It doesn't work. CiM's style is a refreshing change from
repitition-habituation.
