Description
While similarly accomplished Chicago legends have excelled through the pages of history, Virgo’s Eric Lewis and Merwyn Sanders have not, at least until now, reveled in similar glories. Of course, not all genius is rewarded evenly. In this case, the immensely talented, D.I.Y. production team that created such all time masterpieces as “In A Vision” and “Ride” (under the M.E. moniker) have fallen through the cracks of Chicago house obscurity, lost leaders whose identity has been relegated to their cult classics. This compilation was originally released in 1989 and immediately became a desperately sought after collector’s item, failing to reach the ready and willing hands of so many good souls obsessed with the cosmic excursions into complex instrumental house music produced on the most basic analog gear, records that continue to sound as fresh, exploratory and stimulating today as they did in the late 1980’s. Thankfully, Rush Hour has reissued in full, on deluxe 2x12” vinyl with full picture sleeve, this beautiful compilation of all Lewis & Sanders’ best work, speaking to their total vision, a cohesive project dispersed among so many pseudonyms and independently released singles---an essential reissue of classic house innovation.
