Waited 10 years for some of it though, and that remix is really impressive.

I’m not complaining (or hatin’, I’m obsessed with his music) – I love all bar the X-Press 2 remix – but I think the reason for his increased popularity is simply he’s now producing in a language more people understand. (* I think this is as a result of his 'falling up' remix: if you look at what labels he's released on since then remix - dfa (emi)/skint (sonybmg)/mute (emi)/domino etc - it's canny a+r men doing what they always do: commissioning the du jour remixer. Good thing CC has more tricks up his sleeve than most) Also, his ‘profile’ in the past few years has also increased – more gigs/website/Planet E reissue program etc – maybe he’s saving his pennies for a rainy day? Or maybe he’s come to terms with his ‘god amongst men’ status? Or maybe – just like the rest of us – he got bitten by the bug all over again? At the moment, I think the faze action remix is the best of his current crop. I hope the remixes/bangers keep on coming (next up is a Junior Boys remix) - but I also hope to hear him exploring his more experimental side again in the near future. but whatever happens, long live carl craig anyway, I’m waffling… re: carl craig - i’m not sure about a revival, i just think his emphasis changed. sure, his output has increased, but – for a man who has always moved effortlessly between genres (and maybe created some new ones) – his recent work is quite one dimensional*: it’s basically house music.

I'm surprised so few people mention Dan Bell anymore, or I'm just reading the wrong blogs/articles.
