Review: Larry Heard seems to be building up his Alleviated label again, serving up material from friends and collaborators as well as his own tracks. Here, he has offered old pal
Lee Pearson Junior a chance to strike out on his own. Vocalist K LaDawn makes an appearance on "The Real Deal", a rich, warm and hazy deep out cut full of drifting Rhodes chords and toasty live bass. "Love's A Secret Attitude" is a similarly deep and soulful number featuring the vocal talents of Aki Dawson, plus pads and pianos reminiscent of some of Heard's greatest moments. That track is accompanied by a fantastic Mi Chiba remix that adds a little Latin shuffle to proceedings, as well as a superb, Herbie Hancock style synth solo.
