Various Artists - Welcome To Paradise [ST003-1]

At the tail end of the 1980s, a new take on deep house began to emerge from Italian studios. 'Dream house' drew inspiration from key U.S deep house records of the period. The spacey melodiousness of Larry Heard's productions, and the rich jazziness of tracks originating in New Jersey in particular, but sounded distinctly different. Its' 'head-in-the-clouds' feel, all rich chords, tactile basslines, fluid piano lines and starry electronics, made 'dream house' a uniquely Italian proposition.
