Bangs & works, vol. 2 : the best of Chicago footwork

"Here, music and samples still skip like a CD player under attack, bass throbs as if it aims to loosen every filling, and tracks remain startlingly short since footwork is designed to be heard on the dancefloor in a mixed set and not through your headphones. Still, this unmixed set is an excellent document of a movement widely ignored outside of the Chicago underground and the back pages of the more esoteric dance music press".
