PRE-ORDER: Larry Heard - Ice Castles [LP], Larry Heard, Vinyl

"Ice Castles", the downtempo ambient meets deep house masterpiece from Larry Heard (aka Mr Fingers), available on vinyl once again. After nearly three decades out of print, Larry Heard's "Ice Castles" is finally getting the reissue people have been asking for. Originally released in 1995 (as "Sceneries Not Songs - Volume Tu"), "Ice Castles" stands out as one of the most overlooked, but essential records in deep house and downtempo. A hazy, R&B and jazz-inflected suite of tracks from the genre's original architect, the album formed a blueprint for his releases in the decades to come. From the shimmering "Crystal Fantasy" to the aching title track, this is Larry Heard at his most intimate: less dancefloor, more personal. Now, for the first time since 1998, it's back on vinyl. Remastered and expanded to a full double LP on black vinyl with all 12 of the tracks from the full CD version.
