Meet Jamal Moss, a former gigolo sex-pot who now reserves his tweaking fingers for Linn drum machines and Hammond organs. Hur hur. Organs. Sorry.
Moss is hugely prolific. In the time it has taken you to get to this sentence, he has probably released 92 albums. With such a generous issue, er, um, try that again… With such a generous output, how can anything, ahem, rise to the surface? Oh crumbs.
The answer is: like this. The Red Notes takes Chicago house as its base and spins off into a hypnotic odyssey that is as much techno as it is jazz. Examples: the alternating bass drum of The Seduction Syndrome; the strangled synth solo of The Emotional Listener.
This is wild and free and, yes, sexy. A suitable entry, arf, into Chicago house music for techno virgins. I am so, so sorry.
