Remastered reissue out on Rush Hour. Essential. Bagged on sight.

http://bleep.com/index.php?page=release ... seid=23319

"Rush Hour continue their electric start to the new decade with this utterly essential re-issue of a record widely believed to be one of the most important House LP's ever cut. Remastered for a whole new audience this mysterious album of deep, spacey Afro-futurist grooves was first released as two separate EPs on the legendary Chicago imprint, Trax circa 1989. Eric Lewis and Merwyn Sanders were the men responsible for this otherworldly body-music, a cosmic trip through starlit synths, tight n' funky Roland drum pulse and analogue bass worms. The original press of Virgo goes for silly money, this is your chance to own a piece of integral dance music history."

Big up the Virgos x

Well if you like that you may also want to grab this piece of fire



Virgo and the likes is original HOUSE music Rush Hour deserve massive props for releasing this and liberating music that in some cases is hidden away and wrapped in cotton wool to be drooled over rather than played out on heavy sound systems so we can dance to them

and props to you Andrea for the heads up- you are awarded a spotters badge
