to me deep house is the sound that was really developed by Larry Heard under
his Mr.Fingers monicker on his excellent album "Introduction"..at least to
my feeling..... house music not aimed entirely for the dancefloor, but more
to listen to...although of course you can dance to it.....it's smooth, it's
mellow..has lot's of jazzy elements in it......
lately i've been feeling that the term deep house is so in fasion that all
kinds of music is called deep house..f.e. the (excellent) lazy dog mix album
is often labeled deep house, but imho it's not at all...this is pure "house"
for the dancefloor....not deephouse....
some of the stuff on Naked i also would call deephouse....laidback stuff
right in the tradition of Mr.Fingers.....
