Mr. Fingers – Around The Sun: Part 1 – 2XLP – Alleviated

Any new album from deep house pioneer and all-round legend Larry Heard is good news, but especially so when it’s credited to his best-known and best-loved alias, Mr Fingers. Around The Sun Pt 1 is Heard’s first album under the alias for four years and, unsurprisingly, it’s as musically expansive, evocative, and atmospheric as they come. Naturally, it’s rooted in the warming, dreamy, subtly jazz-flecked deep house style he’s been tweaking and improving over decades, with occasional forays into sun-kissed downtempo grooves (‘Touch The Sky’), angular acid tracks, Heard’s take on dub house (the deliciously deep, micro-house influenced ‘Marrakesh’) and summery Balearic house (‘Shimmer’). All in all, it’s another masterpiece from deep house’s most significant pioneer.
