Ammnesia

by Mr. Fingers

The 2321st greatest album of all time

Ammnesia, credited to Mr. Fingers (Larry Heard) and released in 1988, collects his early Chicago house productions into a cohesive set defined by warm, rounded basslines, mellow electric piano and synth pads, spacious mixes, and occasional 303-driven acid touches. The material leans toward atmosphere and melody rather than bombastic club percussion, helping to articulate the softer, more introspective side of house that later became associated with deep house, while retaining roots in Chicago acid and electronic studio experimentation.
