Description

There’s a reason why so many of house music’s early releases have endured over the decades. The best of them have a quality that defies logic. Early house records like Heard s own -Washing Machine,- or the -No Way Back- by Adonis, still have the power to stun listeners and drive clubs wild. They sound alien and beautiful, simultaneously ingrained within us and so unlike everything that followed. And few sound as beautiful, or as alien, as -Can You Feel It.-

By 1986, Heard—who was born and bred in Chicago and been playing in bands as a drummer—had already proved to the world that he was a master of poignant, enthralling house. The previous year’s elegant “Mystery of Love,” originally released on Alleviated Records, had featured an insistent ascending bassline repeating under a plaintive, swooning analog synth, with a gentle, conga-led rhythm setting the pace. It was soon rerecorded in a slightly more fleshed-out style, this time featuring frequent collaborator Robert Owens on vocals—”There’s a moment in our lives when we all must try the mystery of love”—and rereleased on D.J. International.
