Ammnesia? We don't know about you, but we still haven't forgotten these seminal house tracks from Larry Heard – easily some of
the most exciting work of
the Chicago scene – and music that really marked a bit step forward for
the sound of
the dancefloor at
the time! Larry's working here on some really amazing keyboards – often used in ways that have a direct link back to 70s electronics from Herbie Hancock and others, yet served up in a leaner, stripped-down mode that went onto influence a whole batch of British musicians in
the next decade as well.
The whole thing's way more interesting than just
the usual batch of dance tracks – and although
the analogue keys have plenty of "acid" elements – they're also really a cut
above that genre too. Titles include "Can You Feel It", "Washing Machine", "Beyond
The Clouds", "Stars", "Waterfalls", "For So Long", "Amnesia" and "Mystery Of Love".
