From Amsterdam to Brussels : contemporary fusion dynamics
1. Groove Collective : everything is changing (swag dub) : Naked
This baby has it all : old-skool b-line, vibes, brass contruction-alike-vocals. And it comes in a nice package too...
2. Afro Mystik : muzik tropique : On
Fantastic cross-over samba/deep houze/r'n b/acid-jazz album. Re-invention of exotic music.
3. Boo Williams : white label : Hedphoniq
A moody tempo is not what we'd expect from our fat dude. But this one's great nevertheless. Add some spacy melodies and you've got yourself a class-one Chicago product.
4. Conjoint : conjoint : km20
(See review)
Ganz gutte Ambient-muzik mit mini-bitten Schokoladenmilch für kleine Kinder zwischen 0-99 Jahr.
5. Louise Vertigo : la danse du serpent : Yellow
Louise combines her heavenly voice with one of the more inspired tracks by Kid Loco. The result is entrancing.
6. Unknown artist : unkown title : T-Sole
Never heard of the label, don't know artist or title. Just remember that this is slo-jack deep houze in a mid-tempo, saxophone-guided, smooth and sexy outfit. Could be some six years old for all I know.
7. Tim Lee : the bhagwan love example (dub attack) : Disfunction
Originally released in 1992, this track fits right into this chart since we're talking old-skool deep houze anyway. Taste it.
8. Bernard Badie : love explosion (instrumental version) : Cajual
Old-skool stuff again, one of those deep Cajual products back in those times... Some advice : check instrumental versions on garage records. From time to time they turn out superb. Leave those gay voices for what they are, whatever that may be. 
9. Larry Heard : after hours : Distance
The founder of the Chicago school, the legend of deep house, the hero of dance music...makes a downbeat track. And I love it ! 
10. Mithra Quartet : magpie : Diversion
Some cool drum'n bass track with some cool female vocals results in some cool atmosphere in some small bedroom, stuffed with some more cool records.
And if you want some space-funk roots, buy :
Dexter Wansel : the very best of : Recall
...and never mind the cheesy cover and stupid title.
