For those of us who did not have the connoisseurship to know better and buy the vinyls way back when, the old adage "Good things come to those who wait" applies. Four CD's for a pittance! And all of them better than each other! Is that possible? Just about every track features hip-gyration-provoking female vocals with back-up. India is on a few, and what a voice! Bass lines are aplenty, and all the tracks are uplifting. But, most importantly, Lil' Louie and Kenny Dope never lose sight of the fact that they're out to make MUSIC, and that means, all the tracks have that rich soulful musicality. No whimsical odd sounds or irritating "ain't it neat?" kinda "experiments". In other words, artists respecting other artists' work, putting together sounds and beats that, upon listening, can only make you feel good to be alive, and even inspire you to think that the world is a good place after all. One of the truly great achievements in the annals of modern music.

Deep Deep Deep House music, at its classiest under Latino influence. New York, Paris, Tokyo, in short, Big City Music. For those who were blown away by Nuyorican Soul or those who did not manage putting the hand on these vinyl rarities.

Una pieza que nadie debe dejar de tener. "Master at Work" son realmente Maestros en obra,"Little" Louie Vega debería llamarse "The Bigger" Louie Vega y Keny "Dope" González narcotiza con sus mezclas los oidos y las caderas de quién los escucha. Cuatro discos en un presentación impecable con un buen librito que te cuenta la historia de ellos y sus trabajos. En ningun club debería dejar de sonar este placer de pistas de baile.

Presiso, bailable, mezclable, delirable...solo Master at Works.

Just groove for everyone, viva el Latin-house!
