Ranked No. 7 in Detroit Techno
Nine minutes of patient, unresolved chord movement. Craig treats techno as long-form composition and produces the genre's most convincing case for itself as art music.

Picked by The Waxonia Desk — Detroit Techno
The argument's resolution, if it has one. Craig lets the melody breathe for nine minutes and proves the machine funk was always capable of tenderness when nobody was trying to prove anything.
