## What 2 lists say

### No. 8 in [Chicago House](https://waxonia.com/genre/chicago-house/)

Deep house before the phrase existed. Heard's chord voicings are jazz musician's choices played on pawn-shop equipment, and the melancholy is entirely deliberate.

### Picked by [The Waxonia Desk — On a Machine](https://waxonia.com/selection/the-desk-chicago-on-a-machine/)

The warm end of Chicago rather than the raw end. The city produced both in the same eighteen months, and the story that it was ever only one of them is a later invention.
