Personnel: Norma Jean Bell (vocals, saxophone). Creator: Flexitone. Originally launched by Detroit techno godhead Carl Craig as an outlet for his many pseudonymous musical projects, Planet E quickly evolved into one of the cornerstone labels of progressive Trans-Atlantic Club culture of the '90s. Mellow jazzy house music, warm groove-minded techno, alien digital beat abstractions, any combination thereof--all have found a home at Craig's label, feeding the decade-long proliferation and evolution of electronic music. GEOLOGY is a 72-minute distillation of Planet E's output into a comprehensible overview, a perfect primer for people who like their rhythms drowned in deep ambience. And just about each track included is, in its own way, a classic of the form...or forms to come. 69's "If Mojo was AM" is a head-nodding demo of organic downbeat grooves dating all the way back to '91. The original mix of Innerzone Orchestra's "Bug in the Bassbin" isn't just an abstractly pumping bit of digi-jazz--it's been mythologized as among the first plates sped-up and spun at the moment of drum-and-bass' conception. And dance floor scorchers like Common Factor's funky house and Flexitone's extra-terrestrial electro-dub make GEOLOGY a comp easily worth cueing up--not just discussing--at a home soiree. Bon bon!
