Theo Parrish – First Floor (Part One) – 2×12″

Peacefrog Records

Collectors take note: Peacefrog has decided to reissue Theo Parrish‘s timeless – and much in-demand – debut album, “First Floor”. Like the original 1998 release, the album is spread over two separately sold double-packs. This first volume contains some of Parrish‘s strongest work, including the evocative, stretched-out shuffle of “First Floor Metaphor” (all undulating synth bass, dusty deep house beats and sublime string samples), the Luther Vandross-sampling brilliance of “Only The Beginning”, the fuzzy hip-hop/beatdown fusion of “Sweet Sticky”, and the deep jazz-house brilliance of “Love Is War For Miles”. In other words, it’s all killer, no filler, but you probably knew that already.
