Fingers N Flowers aka Larry Heard / Michael Kuntzman – Fingers N Flowers 12″ – Alleviated
40 years have now passed since Larry Heard made his first record. Heard is, of course, without peers when it comes to deep house – he pretty much drew up the blueprint after all – though he does occasionally invite other producers to bask in his reflected glow. That’s the case here, as he and Memphis-based Michael Kuntzman (an artist who has previously released music on Heard’s Alleviated imprint) deliver a notable collaborative 12″. Guest performer Maddaline whispers, sings and vocalises her way through the dreamy, richly electronic and sonically pristine ‘Between Us’, which is accompanied by a typically gorgeous ‘Instrumental Dub’. There are two versions of ‘Reel It In’ – also featuring Maddaline – too: the deep tech-house shuffle of Heard’s’Fingers Mix’ and the back-to-Chicago-87 flex of Kuntzman’s ‘Summer Acid Burn’ take.
