So good I ate it. Ride it.

This album provides the listener with a good tutorial of house music. Some of the tracks come from Chicago house and others come have a subtle Detroit techno or acid jazz influence, yet they are all undoubtedly rooted in the simple pleasures of house music. It is a refreshing collection against much of today's harsher hard house and trance. The track from Juan Atkins is especially good with a seamless transition into Alexis P. Suter's "Stop! (We need eachother)." This collection is a good education for anyone interested in house music.

If you want to get your feet wet in house music, this a great cd.
It has a little Detroit techno w/ Juan Atkins, the San Francisco sound w/Rasoul and Some deep spiritual New yorkness w/ Arnold Jarvis.

Well, there is not much to say about this album except that it contains some of the best underground house songs of all time. And when I say underground, I mean underground. The possibility of actually buying a majority of these titles is near impossible. In any case, the entire album has a dreamy kind of undertone that can be easily heard at the beginnings and ends of many of the songs. Also, the booklet that comes with the album contains very good interpretations of each of the tracks and the reason that they were chosen. My personal favorites are the second track by Gypsy and the sixth track by DJ Rasoul. Both of these tracks, as with many of the others, contain a very understated simplicity that grows on the listener, specifically in the baselines and lower-end chords.
