This is one of the most beautiful albums of the 21th century. It has the soul comparable with the great Marvin Gaye, the smoothnes and intensity of Miles Davis, the funkyness of Prince and the groovieness of, well Larry Heard himself, when he was at his peak, back in the early 90's. "Missing You", "Until the last goodbye" and "Praise" are among the finest work Larry Heard ever made, and are three of the most beautiful songs of the century. "Dew drops" is a funky little number made with some nice sounding analogue synthesizers. "Riverside drive" and "Direct drive" takes you back to the 80's sound of Manchester and Ibiza. I know that a lot of people missed this record when it came out, thinking that Larry Heard never again could repeat the soulful intensity of his earlier work, so please do yourselves a favour and get this record and start believing again...
