To me this is like a testament of a new-New Romantics movement from the US Midwest with the original Chicago house music sound.

These trax sound like the perfect blending of black US disco, r & b, electro funk and European New Wave music aesthetics, culture, + lets not forget the Italo sound which was crucial part of those young producers tastes and development (Italo and its various influences in dance music was a staple on Chicagos radio stations like WBMX in those early 80s yrs.).

Unquestionably an essential party lp for sure and one to be considered a classic of the genre for it being from such an important city for the music style it showcases and for being from such early stages of development of what became a worldwide mass music phenomenon.
