Landcruising

More Info

• Carl Craig’s seminal 1995 debut album, ‘Landcruising’ returns in this definitive single CD reissue.

• Expanded with bonus material from his time with Blanco Y Negro.

• Includes the full 1995 album as released on Blanco Y Negro, a journey through moody synthscapes, intricate rhythms, and visionary techno sound design.

• Features four rare alternate versions and remixes of the single, ‘Science Fiction’, including: ‘Paperclip Edit’ (on CD for the first time), ‘Kenny Larkin Remix’, ‘Flight Through The Unknown’ and ‘From The Top’ (on CD for the first time).

• With new liner notes written by Bill Brewster plus a CD booklet including a selected UK discography and sleeve notes.

Originally released at a turning point in techno’s evolution, ‘Landcruising’ saw Craig redefining the genre with cinematic ambition, emotional depth, and Detroit’s unmistakable pulse.

A masterclass in minimalism and melody, ‘Landcruising’ helped to reshape the idea of what techno could be. It’s a time capsule from the golden age of Detroit innovation, yet its sound remains as future-facing and emotionally resonant as ever.
