Solar House - Universal (LAR-046)
Stevie Sole Middleton | 7 Magazine | 15. September 1999
Fresh and Low's Calum Walker drops on Large with this old skool
sounding track that reminds me of early Kerri Chandler. 'Universal
Part One' uses a sampled chord groove underpinned by some warm percussion,
with a spoken word sample, while the flip contains 'Universal Part
Two' a deeper grungy groove and 'Basement Nights' which is again
more Chandler vibes. Quality deep black grooves. 4/5
Phil Cheeseman | DJ Magazine | 8. October 1999
Crossover vocal hits are not this Chicago label's stock in trade,
so don't expect any big choons or anthems alerts here. Large has
however carved out an impeccable reputation as a supplier of graceful
and well formed underground deep house. Scotland's Fresh & Low are
no strangers to the US game, having previously recorded for Guidance
among others, and here they carve out a heavily percussive jam with
funky Rhodes, languid horns and the usual sort of jazz-funk overtones
you'd expect from the genre. Not breathtakingly original, but good
if this is your thing. 3/5
