5 out of 5 stars Music with Meaning.......2000-06-16

From the early days of house music, when Mr. Heard produced such groundbreaking tracks as "Washing Machine" under the moniker "Mr. Fingers", to the emotional electro soundscapes of Dance 2000 (vol's. 1 & 2) Larry Heard created a style unlike any other and can only be labelled as "music with meaning."

On his swan song album-collection 'Dance 2000', Larry Heard blends complex, driving rhythms with lush chords and emotional melodies that conjure up melancholic images of the dreams of our lost loves of yesteryear. From the driving, yet uplifting tech-house jam "Teleportation", with its arpeggiated synth stabs and lush breakdown, to "I know it's you", with its emotional string melody and whispy, floating atmospheres, along with tracks that combine old-school Chicago house flavor with a dark yet beautiful, new-school aesthetic, Larry Heard's final album is well worth being referred to as "nothing short of heart-stopping" and should be purchased at all costs (literally).

This CD contians complex drum programming, thoughtfullness, well-orchestrated synths, and, in my opinion, emits a deep, musical metaphor of love and other emotions; but, you can make it whatever you want. I give it [five stars].
