The official soundtrack toJean-Cosme Delaloye's documentary about the life and career of Detroit techno pioneerCarl Craig,Desire: The Carl Craig Storyis presented on 2x12" vinyl as well as CD. The collection, coming via his prolific and seminal Planet E Communications, features music from across Craig's vast catalog, including several tracks that have never previously seen full release. Its selections span his many aliases and projects, offering a rare glimpse into the full scope of his groundbreaking career. Among the rare and remastered tracks featured is "No More Words" -- originally released in 1991, newly reissued on vinyl and available digitally for the first time. A foundational track in the Detroit techno canon, "No More Words" captures the emotive synths and tight grooves of Craig's sound that would soon resonate across dance floors worldwide. Its reissue marks a moment of reflection on the genre's roots and evolution. Another remastered track from Craig's extensive archive is "The Truth," a deep cut from Craig's discography under hisDesigner Musicalias, now widely available for the first time a quarter-century after its original release. The film's end credits are scored by the contemplativeMeditation 4, an ambient production previously only available on Craig's 2013Masterpiececompilation CD for Ministry of Sound. Iconic remixes such as his Grammy-nominated rework ofJunior Boys' "Like A Child" is included alongside lesser-known but equally epic remixes such as his sublime 2012 mix ofSlam's "Azure," which is employed for the film's title credits and had previously only seen a limited release. Also featured across the soundtrack's multiple formats are iconic Carl Craig productions under his69, Psyche/BFC and Innerzone Orchestraaliases, and collaborations withMoritz von OswaldandFrancesco Tristano. The soundtrack serves as a companion to the new documentary directed by Jean-Cosme Delaloye and produced by Sovereign Films, which follows Carl's journey from Detroit's middle-class roots to global stardom, set against the city's decline and recovery. The film explores his work at the intersection of music, art, and culture, from his collaborations withBottega Venetato his Party/After-Party installation, acquired by the Detroit Institute of Arts and exhibited at MOCA Los Angeles. Featuring interviews withGilles Peterson,Roni Size,Laurent Garnier,DJ Minx,Kenny Larkin, Moritz von Oswald, andJames Lavelle,Desirehighlights Carl's championing of Detroit's Black creative excellence and the often-overlooked African-American roots of electronic music.
