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. |

| Whether Caural's Zachary Mastoon is busy making drunk pedestrians laugh at four in the morning, turning down CBS's Good Morning America for an interview after becomming the poster boy for a narrowly avoided plane crash, doing animation voiceovers, or fronts his Myspace music page not a new "photo" but an ultra-realistic painted portrait crafted by a severely talented Brooklyn artist, there is this fantastic pervasive sense, in both his music and his life, of "Huh? How?" It's all freakin' there in tracks like "Summer on Cassette" and "In Tandem" and Suicide." This is electronic music that breathes with life, and gorgeous, drunk melody. It's fucked up hip-hop that makes you think and bob and trip on your cat. "Auto Rickshaw" is genius and WTF at the same time. There are only a few names that have justified the existence of electronic music to me, and Caural is one of them. - Rockpile |
