brill classic nyc house bombs

one of the most evasive titles of the prescription/balance catalog, chez damier & stacey pullens >forever monna< evinces the futurism of the most forward leaning deep house music, purging itself of any relics of disco sentimentality in the sacred quest of that prophecy of infinite, intangible beauty hidden within the patchwork of electronic production. originally released in apparently minuscule numbers on serious grooves in 1993, this remarkable instrumental track was re-released two years later on ballance, a fine example of these two detroit pioneers tireless effort to claim a piece of that brave new world from the unyielding clutches of techno. slinky synth loops. eerie chord frames and a brilliantly simple low-end punctuation coalesce in the uncertain, unidentifiable prospect of soul music stripped of any links to the past or present, an inexplicably funky rendition of a deep house slow mounting contagion, infecting fatally the recollections of parliament / funkadelic bass-licks and warm organ progressions with a bleak, somehow comforting landscape of fresh alien-esque soul

a classic house grooves from new yorks kerri chandler and ananda project(king of my castle)!!

king street sounds and dope jams team up again in re-releasing more fine jewels from nycs heyday, all featured on the latters celebrated 2012 classic house grooves offering. essential and immortal dance music reissued for generations old and new.

ethereal, haunted deep house music from beyond the grave, spirit-channeling from the deepest recesses of electro-spiritual obscurity. the slow to speak label presents its latest offering—a residual of the holy-era of the ny underground continuum, conjuring the ritual and pomp of the new electronic goth without abandoning its undeniable roots in the techno/deep house story. dark-matter melodies interlock in an ever off-centering orbit of sparse percussive return, while the distorted exhortations of some wandering intergalactic phantasm whisper menacingly just beneath the surface. trance-inducing, strangely unsettling and ultimately transcendent—further evidence that electronic music can transport its listeners into the fertile pastures of the sublime like any other high art. clear vinyl pressing with japanese obi.
