One of the best of Chicago's throwback house producers,
Chris Gray pushes it to another level with his third full-length
Emotional Distortion. The title is perfect for
Gray's heart-breaking style of production -- heavy on the minor-chord synthesizer fills long a trademark of Chicago's best producers. Though the 14 tracks never range too far outside the boundaries of jazz-house, highlights such as "Undoubted Luv," "As the Sun Sets," and the title track make for pure musical bliss.
