Nary a four to the floor tune graces this collection, which places emphasis on the melodic and the funky. Downtempo, sophisticated and surreal in quality, Hi-Fidelity House is intoxicatingly chilled funk/house awash with synths, strings and silky pianos. All this courtesy of protaganists such as King Britt, Dubtribe Sound System and Pat Barry, all of whom proffer the most sophisticated fare. Even for those heads with a penchant for a more frenetic variety of house, this provides the soundtrack to your inevitable club comedown. In the same vein as the highly succesful Back to Mine series, Hi-Fidelity House is delightfully laid back and unabashadly [attractive].

From Miami to Helsinki, producers have been toiling day and night to create the perfect summer soundtrack. As ever the Guidance vibe is understated, with groovy headphone house giving this collection its true beach potential. Key seaside moment here is Venus Attack Projects'"Riviera Paradise", an instrumental celebration of yachts, topless sunbathing and shamelessly wearing all your jewelry to the beach

Over the years the name Guidance has become synonymous with sexy deep house music. More recently they've made some very positive moves in to hip hop territory, but it's house that's made them what they are today. The 'Hi Fidelity' series is testament to this quality and with the likes of Jazzanova, King Britt, Wamdue Music, Kevin Yost and Dubtribe all contributing exclusive tracks to this volume it's easy to see why it's so good. The vibes are spacious and groovy, the cuts ranging from straight-up house to jazz-tinged downtempo beakers. Great listening for mature heads.

Hi-Fidelity House: Imprint 3 continues in the tradition of quality unmixed listening house that has brought critical and commercial acclaim to this groundbreaking series. In keeping with past volumes, this installment features exclusive contributions from the genre's leading production talents, including: Jazzanova, King Britt, Dubtribe, Kevin Yost, NuSpirit Helsinki, Wamdue Music and more. Here, they join forces to deliver a smooth, soulful and sophisticated program of deep atmospheric house music. Spacious jazz, funk, ambient and electronic textures combine with sultry percussive rhythms to deliver the Guidance sound safely into the future. Mature music for mature minds !

this is lounge, not deep house as I had expected. I was expecting to get my dance on, but this is not the disc for that, this is a cool down disc.
