There's a great sampler 12" that's been out for a few weeks, but the full album's not out yet.

Re: (313) The Detroit Experiment LP
question is what is considered to be a techno related release ... Two 'experiment' releases are already out on ropeadope: - 2nd one is Carl Craig in Innerzone Orchestra mood ... - 1st one has cool Charlie Dark remix in a broken beat style so if the LP is not something completely else this might give you some idea ... mislav - Original Message - From: "Mann, Ravinder [CCS]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'313'" <313@hyperreal.org> Sent: Monday, January 20, 2003 1:45 Subject: (313) The Detroit Experiment LP > Just seen this on Gilles Petersons worldwide playlist... > (Ropeadope)..Ive tried google and cant find very much detail about it.

Just seen this on Gilles Petersons worldwide playlist... (Ropeadope)..Ive tried google and cant find very much detail about it. The ropeadope site simply says it released in March. Is it a techno related release ? Many Thanks Rav
(313) The Detroit Experiment
Has this been mentioned on the list already? Sure looks good to me... I found the Philadelphia Experiment album a bit samey, but they've widened the scope for this one and it looks pretty dope. I'm definitely feeling the C2-produced jazz tracks "Space Odyssey' and "Midnight At The Twenty Grand". By the way, I found this on a website called Renaissance Soul, which is new to me but looks pretty interesting for all of y'all who have been talking about Detroit hip-hop lately - www.rensoul.com And finally, while searching for more info on Ropeadope's site I stumbled across this: A Tale Of Two Cities: King Britt and Carl Craig will spin at SHINE in New York City on Wednesday, Nov 20. Together, they are the unbeatable one-two punch of electronic music. If you live in NYC, be there or be salty. More info at http://www.giantstep.net/shows/viewshow.asp?showid=291 Andy --- The Detroit Experiment produced by Carl Craig, Karriem Riggins & Aaron Levinson Ropeadope Records "The Way Me Make Music" 12" single - December 2002 Album - February 2002 Following the success of the critically acclaimed Philadelphia Experiment, Ropeadope's newest music lab is the city of Detroit. With a core band that includes the founding fathers (and mothers) from the Motor City including jazz legends Marcus Belgrave, Regina Carter, Gerri Allen, Bennie Maupin, and more, the roots of the Detroit sound were brought back to the future by DJ/Producer Carl Craig, and UMA member Karriem Riggins (Slum Village) who recorded the band over a period of five days at the legendary White Room Studio in downtown Detroit. The results are spellbinding, mind-blowing and a true testament to the past, present, and future of the music of Detroit. The full-length will be released by Ropeadope in February 2003. Until then, we present to you a little taste: The Karriem Riggins (Slum Village) produced "The Way We Make Music" featuring Michigan's own MC Invincible with some help from the Athletic Mic League. Not neglecting Detroit's contribution to the world of Funk, the Detroit Experiment covers "Church" which the funk-rock-fusion track that will please the most discerning of funk fans. The B-side features the talents of Carl Craig reinterpreting the Marcus Belgrave jazz fun classic titled "Space Odyssey" with some help from Marcus himself. The experiment also captured the essence of real Detroit jazz which can be felt by the flute driven "Midnight at the Twenty Grand". The final track on the B-side is "Space Break" which takes a small section of the drum break from Space Odyssey and leaves it open for producers and DJ's to sample. Look for the full-length debut of the Detroit Experiment in February 2003 and watch for the national tour coming to a city near you. The track listing for the single is as followed: Side A: 1. The Way We Make Music - Full Version [http://www.rensoul.com/audio/detroitexperiment_theway.ram] 2. The Way We Make Music - Instrumental 3. Church [http://www.rensoul.com/audio/detroitexperiment_church.ram] Side B: 1. Space Odyssey [http://www.rensoul.com/audio/detroitexperiment_spaceodyssey.ram] 2. Midnight at the Twenty Grand [http://www.rensoul.com/audio/detroitexperiment_midnight.ram] 3. Space Break
