Dream states of lust and lucidity, Slow To Speak’s latest reissue of house music’s halcyon years comes courtesy of Mood II Swing’s visionary Lem Springsteen. Originally released on the Eightball sublabel Empire State Records in 1994, these excursionary landmarks saw Springsteen bid farewell to his usual club-saturated exercises in queeny house euphoria for a hallucinatory breach into a secret realm of desire, where the whispers of a long-forgotten hunger meld with the floating synth-work of a true practitioner of the sacred art of club music. This is the soundtrack to the chill-out room of your unconscious’s kaleidoscopic sex dream, the sweet synth lines of Springsteen’s ritual music still floating in your mind as you awake, alas, a little too soon. Fear not: this Dyonisian masterpiece is once more available thanks to the good spirits at Dope Jams, who remind you, “Whatever the eye sees and covets, let the hand grasp!” Not without asking (or paying) first, of course.
