Also known as Cajmere (aka Curtis Jones), Green Velvet is the freakiest house producer out of Chicago in the modern era. Combining the ethics of acid reverie, minimal house & a slurred sense of dislocation (voice-over tracks about little green men, life as a water molecule, etc.), there's nothing else quite like it. This is his first full length album on the Belgium Music Man label.

"Taking various leaves from such artists as Sly Stone, Grace Jones and David Bowie, Green Velvet entered the live arena in 1994, where his outrageous green wig and headphone diatribe drawl brought his unique style to a new audience under the official banner of house music's No. 1 nutter. Whilst the world's dancefloors and festivals were slipping into something Velvety, Curtis Jones was releasing blistering techno/house/nu-wave hybrid records that seemed to constantly up the ante: 'Flash', 'Destination Unknown', 'Land of The Lost', 'The Stalker' and 'Leave My Body' threw the floor into chaos. The Nineties (1993-1999) is a full-flash snapshot of one of the most original and inspirational dance music artists to emerge from planet Earth." Released 1999. The American-based faux indie F111 label has recently released a CD compilation entitled Green Velvet which has a similar track listing to this one (10 of 12 tracks are duplicated), but when did buying American ever make you feel good about the world?
