A piece of rap history here. Rocks the dance floor to this day. Also a nice DJ tool with extra beat tracks. "Hey Love" samples Art of Noise's "Moments in Love".
George Duke - Master Of The Game

When I bought this in 1997 I knew CV from other stuff so got in on faith (no record player in store). I didn't like it that much so stored it away for a while...what a refreshing surprise to re-discover it about five years ago, clearing out my storage.. amazing how one's taste matures over time! As a DJ you look for well-produced tracks with good sounds and structure that can blend well, not necessarily hits (had I known this when I started I would have a much better collection today..live and learn). The tracks are cut on a whole side of vinyl, so the sound, esp. the bass, leaps off it...they are not classic headliners but they have a sparse beauty and funkiness, so well-made, so FUNKY and ever-fresh that they can be mixed with a lot of types of music...disco, industrial, etc.

"Submerged", a clever title for an almost note for note cover of Harry Thumann's Underwater: http://www.discogs.com/Harry-Thumann-Underwater/master/83420 . It's a damn good cover though, and a damn good double pack, with as social says below a wide range of PJ's talents.
most bands hope to make one big "hit" single in their careers, or at least a decent record. this record contains 3 stone cold classics that still kick unbelievable ass 25 years later, in my mind qualifying this as a pure dance music masterpiece....funny, I thought "Join in the Chant" was the weirdest thing I had ever heard when I was 13, boring and annoying yet also strangely hypnotic and irresistible. now I see it as the visionary mix of pop, minimal synth and punk that it is. Murderous and Let Your Body Learn still fill my veins with brimming vitality and energy.
Fun track, dated but gives a nice vibe. Thinking Rozzo sampled this: http://www.discogs.com/Shop-Innerzone-Orchestra-Untitled/release/1472709... anyone know?
