Back in the day, Mr Fingers was always one of the jazziest talents on the scene – and all these many years later, it feels as if he's really leaning into that quality in his music – not just in those wonderful keyboards, which were always so great, and an important 90s extension of 70s jazz funk modes – but also in the way the album sets up the songs, and uses some great saxophone solos too! Rhythms are often midtempo instead of fully full-on, which really helps pace the record nicely – and instrumental moments are balanced with vocal passages that really bring the whole thing into focus – on titles that include "Tekjazz", "Invisible", "Rustling Leaves", "The Icy Air Of Night", "Supa Kool", "Country Rhodes", and "We're Drowning".

A compelling collection of work from the Chicago scene of the late 80s – and a set that not only features some lesser-known house, but also a proto-hop hop track from The Village Crew! Other artists include "Two Of A Kind", "Kool Rock Steady", "Tyree Cooper", "Paradise Inc", "debrice King", and "Reggio". (Hip Hop, House Music) LP, Vinyl record album
