     "for your listening pleasure", mr knuckles informs us, "i've put   
     together a program that i think chronicles two very important      
     periods in dance music." note the capital letters. coming from the 
     godfather of house, these words should get anybody with an interest
     in the history of the genre going, while the music itself will do  
     it for everybody else. cd 1 is chicago circa 1982--all hail the    
     birth of house music. this is when disco's strings lost out to a   
     battle of supremacy against the driving bongo rhythms, pared down  
     vocals and staccato chord sequences house-heads know and love. cd 2
     meanwhile, chronicles frankie's return to new york a decade later  
     and illustrates what 10 years can do to a sound. this is more      
     recognisable stuff (although still not the "classics" you night    
     expect)--the sound of early ministry of sound compilations. what we
     used to know as "garage", the pure uplifting, vocal house comes    
     courtesy of the likes of soul ii soul and lisa stansfield--remixed 
     beyond all recognition. by keeping the selection truly             
     "underground", knuckles avoids the "classics" compilation problem  
     of presenting a tired, heard-it-all-before anthology. but you know 
     that what you're listening to is history in the making.
