Review by sam_lowry Oct 06, 2008

This is one (if not first) example of Japanese House, in collaboration with several New York producers, following the venue of Larry Levan on DJ tour in Tokyo in 1992. Larry died a few days after, back in NYC and this record is dedicated to him.
It is simply beautiful. What can i say... It is deep & jazzy, smooth & groovy, melancholic & happy.
This is also the beginning of what became the label King Street Sounds.
