Milan-based Groovin Recordings continue to resurrect lost gems from Chicagos Very Own aka Glenn Undergroundout of the abyss of Discogs purgatory with C.V.O. Elements, originally released on Guidance Recordings in 1997. One of a small handful of truly great Guidance releases, C.V.O. Elements is exemplary of the sort of sophisticated house musack G.U. was churning out around this time done to perfection, and the gospel-inspired soulfulness and pitched-up sine leads suggest a certain kinship to theHDtrunk musicThe Legendary Traxster was cooking up in half-speed for Twista and Do Or Die on the other side of town around this time (maybe were reaching). A side cuts G&S Motion and Concrete Level Jazz are rife with jazzy guitar licks and deep Rhodes chords, but flip it over to see where your money is really going; 7th & Rhodes and Head Of House are two of the finest slices of jazzy house ever putto record, each with their own all-star bassline, no-bullshit rhythms for your feet and life-affirming keyboard solos for your soul. Official 2018 repress, recommended.
