Yes, its a total classic, and yes, Its loved by every one (myself included).
At the time of release it reminded everyone that house could be an art form and not just a thing to dance to in clubs.
Weatherall pointed the way to the original spirit of early house, but kept it fresh and modern.

But lets not forget that its basically a (better produced, better realised) version of this bit of Old Skool-ness;

The true story Of house music (Nu Groove).
Its the track called "New Age Bonus Track."

Check the "dark mix" on this; a classic example of UK house emerging from the shadows of trying to impersonate the US or Italy, and coming up with its own dark dubby version.
"Prog house" went on to get a bad name for itself with its 12 minuite drum rolls and lack of song progression (ironc,for a style called 'progressive'!), but early examples on Guerilla still sound fresh today.

In a word; Chunky!

"Shes a Freak" (original) is the cut here, and was 'big up north' in the UK when it came out! Classic organ sound, razor sharp snares and hihats, thundering bassline and a bit of Madonna giggling and saying "shes a freak" every now and then.
Totally simple, but totaly effective!
"The Groove" is deeper and mellower, more in the style of Logic's "the Warning". Chicago style house with a beatiful mellow flute solo ad-libbed on top.

Its is all about the Wild pitch mix here; The A sides seem unfocussed and aimless.
However, flip to the B side and you will find a deep relentless hypnotic house CLASSIC, which showcases the simple brilliance of the wildpitch style that DJ Pierre innovated.
Pierre takes a few minimal elements, and slowly builds and twists the elements into a throbbing monster track.
Very little happens suddenly; the track just builds and mutates in a organinc way, leaving a lot of 'space' in the track.
Every sound is precicly placed and is there for a reason which has meant it still sounds quirky and unique 15 years later.
One for the late night clubs or any fan of minimal, cavernous electronic body music.

Another classic-classic from the Strictly label in the period when they just pumped out classics! (Ok, i admit, and a few rough sample house trax too)
Similar in feel to, and just as good as "Luv dancin'" (SR12020), and like that track still sounds freah and timeless.
Like many of the best deep house tracks of the era it takes a few elements (deep organs, minimal skippy beats, razor tight hi hats, a few soulful moans) and works them up into a solid whole, before adding some jazzy keys over the latter half.
When this works (as this does!) the track is SO much more than the sum of its parts and truly a thing of beauty, IMHO.
Have you guessed that this is one of my favourite records yet?!
