About this item

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.
