If you appreciate acidic deep house from a bygone era which also happens to be timeless, then you'll definitely need this in your collection.

Does anyone know what the vocal sample (laugh) on Breathe Deep is sampled from? I thought it was Voodoo Ray but seems not...It's very familiar.

LOL!!! That laugh is my sister-in law! I guess she does sound a little like the laugh in "Situation". That's funny, because "Situation" was a VERY important record in my life. Maybe I used the laugh sub-consciously. I didn't sample or borrow any riffs or music though.

Thanks, that's exactly where I recognised it from. It in turn is sampled from the early 80s Situation by Yazoo (which I remember the keyboard riff but not the laugh). Both samples are pitched differently.

sounds a bit like the laugh from nude photo - derrick may

When labels artworks were drawn by hand… this one is just so unique, enigmatic and perfectly reflects what lies within.

The original sound, the original 1990s odour, gotta love it

A truly, dreamy, beautiful classic deep-house mini-album from the golden-post-Larry Heard era. New-yorker Ben Cenac, who was also member of electro pioneers Newcleus (and part of Sha-lor, who had a cool jazzy garage-house hit in the late 80's), shows a great sensibility and delicacy here in following mr Heard's path.His approach is perhaps slightly more sci-fi in the synths and pad sounds, and perhaps a tad less crafted and mercurial in production than the master (ie less timeless), but this adds in realness and charm.So, past the classic deep-garage dream "My Love Turns To Liquid" (in the vein of these sultry garage productions from Peter and Vanessa Daou), the rest of the record shows constant quality, with song titles that could have been (or actually have been) used by Mr Heard himself, and a content oscillating between warming deep-house, sweet acid, lush garage and relaxed spacejazz piano parts, the whole thing also evoking the Beloved's better 'rave' moments ("The Sun Rising" etc).This record could be studied in university as the synthesis of the deep-house scene of the early 1990s. Classic.

on CD as I have just seen it on juno.co.uk ! amazing EP this, I remember buying it back in the early 90's after hearing it at a mates record shop in an after hours session ;-)

I agree with everything said above. This record is beautiful. Cenac told me he is planning to re-release it "soon". I don't know if it will be digital-only or what. He also has a gently remixed version of "My Love Turns to Liquid" ready to go under the Push/Pull moniker.
