【再プレス！】99年にLarge MusicよりリリースされたDJ Rasoulの『Soul Searching Vol. 3』がなんと16年の時を経て待望のリイシュー！レーベル初期作品でも1、2を争う人気を誇り後のいわゆる”West Coast”サウンドに多大な影響を与えたとされるこの盤、Shananの艶やかなヴォーカル・リフを軸にエレガント＆ラグジュアルに展開する「Let Me Love You」はTimmy Regisfordも当時Shelter NYで常にプレイしていた逸品！故Frankie KnucklesやLouie Vegaを中心に今またUSディープ・ハウスの魅力が再評価されてきているだけにこれは嬉しい再発です！持っていない人はぜひこの機会に！ A1 - Let Me Love YouA2 - Let Me Love You (Dub)B1 - Blue NoteB2 - Night At The Top One of the defining releases on Large Music gets a special re-issue after a 16 year wait. Considered by many to be one of the top 3 packages in the early Large catalog, this EP set the trajectory for what would quickly become known as the "West Coast" sound of American House. The main vocal on side A also became a venerable classic at the Shelter in NYC and was played consistently by Timmy Regisford throughout his tenure there. The darker, more disco filtered tones on the flip side were also highly praised and played at the time by French DJs such as Daft Punk, Phil Weeks, Cassius and many others. Rasoul is often overlooked as one of the chief architects of modern Deep House, yet this release certainly secures his elite standing in the annals of House Music history. Essential!
