I wouldn't call it fusion, or at least it's not like TJ at all, not is it
like Amon Tobin. Carl is definitely not trying to emulate Miles as some
would accuse TJ of doing. Really the new Innerzone record is a one off; as
Daniel put it it is a very bold move for Mr. Craig. The stuff is all over
the place: some techo-ish strands, some more tradtional instruments
stylings, some rap, really I haven't anything like it. A grower for
sure...
