MH-242 Caural - Remembering Today Remembering Today collects tracks recorded during the gap between Caural's 2001-2003 releases for Chocolate Industries and his relocation to New York. Originally from Chicago, Caural debuted in 2001 with the full-length, Initial Experiments In 3-D. He then joined the respected Chocolate Industries label, appeared on the compilation Urban Renewal Program, produced standout EPs in 2001 and 2003, and released his critial breakthrough full-length, Stars On My Ceiling in 2002. After moving to New York, he began work on a new album scheduled for release in late 2006. Remembering Today is both a companion piece to his earlier work and a link to his upcoming material. A series of snapshots from the life of an ever-evolving talent, it is the perfect set for Caural to both reintroduce himself to old listeners and court new in preparation for his next steps as an artist.

Caural gives us a dousing of experimental electro hop. Beats are glitching but not full-throttle IDM glitch. Video game keyboard sounds pop out new melodies and stereophonic mixing brings it all together. Imagine Orbital using their fantastic multi-layering style without the dance beats. Picture (insert abstract hip-hop artist here) dropping dope beats in and out of the mix, and with that image in your head put on songs like "They'll Make A Video Game Out Of Killing People Like You" (Possibly one of the best in your face intelligent put downs) and you'll hear Caural at his best. "Insect Headphones" is a wonderful track with buzzing noise sweeping from ear to ear and a wonderfully calming soundscape develops as the song grows in dimension. Again, Mush brings us another out-there but accessible release that should hit home with the indie/college rock crowd filling the need for beats, retro references and aural experimentation. - Properly Chilled
