Green Velvet

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com
Chicago's Curtis Jones (a.k.a. Cajmere and Green Velvet) is, by far, on of the top producers of house music in the world. In the mid-'90s, his self-run record labels, Cajual and Relief, spearheaded the continuing renaissance of the genre with distinctive tracks that delivered a powerful dance-floor rush and gave DJs a deep arsenal of guaranteed crowd pleasers. While his Cajmere tracks are upbeat vocal workouts, it's his work as Green Velvet that continues to fascinate and gain legions of new devotees. Jones sets his GV material on a bed of dark, relentless, dirty beats, while adding his own twisted vocal flourishes that are one part Gary Numan and one part Bauhaus. Each track has a distinct narrative (i.e., a tour of a night club or an imagined reincarnation as a drop of water); the results are both frightening and hilarious. Long out-of-print on vinyl, the new Green Velvet CD combines such "classics" as "Flash," "Leave My Body," and "Answering Machine" with more recent material, including the fantastic Giorgio Moroder-inspired drive of "Coitus." --David Prince

5 out of 5 stars A good value.......2007-05-17

I wasn't expecting to have 4 discs for this price, and the music is a quality selection of film music, giving a good scope of the genre, and a very listenable transfer.

4 out of 5 stars The Sound Track Since Bernard Hermann.......2006-07-25

This collection is bound to capture your heart and evoke a tin ear on successive tracks. I found much to like and some duds - easy to skip over.
Very good value.

4 out of 5 stars Good mix of film music.......2006-07-02

Good mix of films!
I'm a big fan of this soundtrack music and will be looking for more CD's like this.

4 out of 5 stars A mixed collection of movie music.......2006-02-23

For the price, this CD is a great bargain. The musical selections, as you might expect, are mixed in quality ranging from extraordinary to so so, the balance being worthwhile and interesting. Sonically the CD is excellent.

5 out of 5 stars Uplifts your soul, takes your mind into the heavens.......2006-01-06

I have been listening to great scores for many years and this collection is truly inspirational in so far as the choice of different scores takes you on a journey of listening pleasure matched by only a few collections.The price is incredibly reasonable for hours of listening pleasure. Don't pass this one up

5 out of 5 stars All the Greatest hits of the 90's.......2005-12-04

This is great. It contains most of his classic cuts from the 90's.

1 out of 5 stars an appointment with disappointment.......2003-04-16

I've been collecting house music for over a decade now. I own tracks from Genesis P. to Carl Cox and everything in between. And just as any avid music collector, there are times when you by an album with the hope of finding the next phat groove for your audio enjoyment. I cannot relay my disappointment when I picked up this CD.

The tracks never really seem to take hold. It borderlines monotonous at times. I love phat DC, Philly, Chicago house. But this lack of feeling and over all vibe, if you will, was a stark contrast to everything I love about house. I've heard GV's tracks on many other compilations and each sounded promising.

Since my initial time of purchase, I've only listened to it 4 or 5 times, just to be sure my tastes haven't changed and my ears haven't deceived me. But alas, it sits among the rest, out of my personal rotation, collecting dust.

Perhaps another listen is now in order.

5 out of 5 stars Green Velvet does more with less !.......2002-07-03

The album takes a bit of getting used to at first, but the more you listen to it the more conviced you will become of the briliance behind the music.
The album is a very good example of minimalistic house music, with that typical Chicago techno sound.
It is a rare thing when you hear so much music being made with so few sounds, extreemly minimalistic.
Minimalistic though it may be, but when you sit down and realy listen to it the compositions turn out to be more complex than I thought possible.
Combine this sound with some hillarious (sometimes) explicit samples and you have yourself an album by Green Velvet.
Very dancable, extreemly good for freaking out and great to listen to too.

Enjoy!

5 out of 5 stars Ridiculously Good.......2001-08-15

"Velvet, this is your landlord calling. I am calling to notify you that we are, uh... evicting you... we've been getting a lot of noise from your space recently, and, uh... the naked girls running down the hallway yesterday certainly didn't help." ~("Answering Machine")

This is one of the most refreshing, witty, hard, dark, creepy, funny, unrelenting electronic albums I have bought in a long time. Don't play this for your radio-fanatic friends, they'll be scared by Green Velvet's (a.k.a. Cajmere's) goofy voice. (Does anyone else hear the ghost of Slick Rick in here?) But if you're in the mood for something that stimulates your head and your toes at the same time, I can't think of anything better.

Like many, I was introduced to Green Velvet by the standout track "Flash" on Timo Maas's "Music for the Maases." Based on the strength of that track, and the cover art which features GV with a neon feather on his head, I bought this album. If you liked Flash, which is a romping, frolicking narrative through a club filled with "naughty" drug-takers, you're in for more. The beats here are dark and selfish. I can't tell you how many times I rewound the CD, asking myself, "Did he just *do* that with the track?"

While your body is uncontrollably contorting into a variety of positions, you can't help but notice Velvet's weird, weird lyrics. Most of them are rambling narratives on a particular subject, as found on "The Stalker", "Water Molecule" and "Abduction." "Land of the Lost," though it doesn't fit into that category, is one of my favorites. There are some great instrumental tracks here, too.

Velvet is one part stand-up comic and two parts hard, dark house producer of the century. I seriously reccomend this to almost any listener of electronic music.

4 out of 5 stars This disc really grows on you.......2001-01-24

I bought this CD while in a Christmas-induced music buying spree not expecting a whole lot other than "Flash". However, I was pleasantly surprised to find a lot of other good material on the disc, such as "Answering Machine", "The Stalker", "Land Of The Lost", "Water Molecule", and "The Red Light". The beats are minimal but catchy almost all the time, and the narratives that often show up are hilarious (and I do mean hilarious; "The Stalker" is literally laugh-out-loud funny in a disturbed sort of way!). Not everything is outstanding, but there's much more than "Flash" or "Answering Machine". If you liked either of those two, this is probably a good buy.

3 out of 5 stars Good But not as Good As B4.......2005-12-04

Green Velvet seems to have lost something. Maybe its the gritty black techno sound of Chicago or maybe its that he's gone heavily towards a European Electro sound. Who knows all I know is that this is not his best effort. Plus I think he's born again or something because there's alot of born again sounding propoganda and bible quotes through out.

4 out of 5 stars Walk in Love.......2005-10-01

Well after witnessing the velvety one himself only last evening in the sweatbox that is the Arches in Glasgow, i am moved to review this cd, that which the above mentioned show was based around. This release follows on from previous releases with the usual mix of solid techno, electronic trickery, beats, blips, bleeps, vocals and social commentary, not to mention sheer funked up, i said funked, musical madness that is Green Velvet. 12 tracks in all. Not a bad one among them, though some stronger than others. Highlights for me are Temptation with really cool vocals which some may find comical but there is a fine line they say between genius and , well, whatever. No Sex with its commentary, Come back which will get you headbanging, Bathroom a slower track with some home truths and Pin-up Girl the closer. If you are a fan you wont be disappointed so i recommend it. If not then check it out, this is techno with fun, depth and a little bit of heart and soul. See you in la la land.

5 out of 5 stars Fresh Sounds from Chicago!!.......2004-10-15

In 1992 there was a new sheriff in town and his name was Cajmere. He had already been working with the Underground Crew and Clubhouse Records for the previous couple of years but he sounded so unique that it seemed evident that he would create a new phenomenon in Chicago. That phenom would become Cajual Records. What was so special about Cajual Records? Deep house vocals, driving beats and rythms, and a slick logo! The spotlight on underground dance music had essentially come back home to Chicago. This album illustrates how that was possible. Cajual, like any great label, already had a potential "star" in the form of Dajae -- check "Brighter Days" and "U Got Me Up"! Cajmere also offers his own material including the ever popular "Percolator". There is also the alter ego of Green Velvet, courtesy of the newly created sister label Relief. Add in the new artist development (another trait of a great label) and a couple of remixed records and you have an excellent compilation which is a breath of fresh air (as it was at the time of release).
If you find yourself longing for some feel-good music then this is the album for you!

        5 out of 5 stars Raw Yet Refined.......2006-01-06

        At first listen, this album sounds unrefined and a bit barren. Give it time. The sound is unique, so you must let yourself get used to the raw and grinding instruments. After a few listens, I found that I viewed the album as much more sophisticated and fun to listen to. Another great thing about the album is the variety from song to song. You truly pay for 10 unique and different songs.

        Bottom Line: Give this album a chance. You may be surprised how much your opinion of it changes after just a few listens.

        5 out of 5 stars Mr. Jones has a good thing going on.......2003-01-13

        This is the latest chapter in what could be titled 'The Many Faces Of Mr. Jones'.

        Chicago's self-confessed "regular, straight-up house head," Curtis Jones, records house music under his Cajmere guise, and lets out his wild side when he becomes Green Velvet. The hair turns green, and the luminous wraparound shades go on. Green Velvet does techno with a punk attitude, performed with all the warped sense of theatre of one who didn't quite make it through drama school. However, he of the bright green mohican has a degree in chemical engineering. There's certainly a lot more going on here than meets the eye.

        This is smart, thought-provoking material for the twisted. The sound is raw and hard-edged, and Velvet makes no compromises. Tracks like 'Stop Lying' and 'G.A.T. (Great American Tragedy)', are brutal pieces of electronica with plenty of shouting and swearing. If a band like Rage Against The Machine played techno, they might hope that the result would sound this good. There's anger behind the energy, and a ...you I won't do what you tell me' attitude. Although Velvet may be fuelled by angst, his music is enquiring, as well. Curtis shouts on 'G.A.T.', "prove that I'm free by not f***ing with me," and it sounds like a perfectly reasonable request.

        It's not all quite so harsh. ' Genedefekt' bumps away on a wave of abstract electronica over a tough bassline, and 'Sleepwalking' almost has a pop edge to it. The first single from the album, 'La La Land', is a slice of pure techno-funk with a booty shakin' bassline. Probably the most dancefloor friendly track on the LP, it's an observation of chemical recreation in clubland. Get on the dancefloor, listen, then wonder what he's really going on about. It can be a bit dark at times.

        With the possible exception of the infectious 'La La Land', this album isn't exactly easy listening, even for techno fans. Curtis gives a voice to all those odd little thoughts that come creeping in unexpectedly, stirring things up at quiet times. It's usually at just those times, that so much madness makes such perfect sense.

        It might take you a minute if you don't know him. But, with a few listens you'll understand how full and perfected every last element of this album truly is.
        This one is way more personal than his last cd. With Velvet confronting racism and isolationism in his very 'to the point' oratory. One of my favorite tracks is G.A.T.(Great American Tragedy). Let me just say that he really pulls it out on you.
        And if you get the chance, don't miss his live techno show. Unlike any other. This man is on a mission, y'all. His own techno world, perfected.
