Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Before striking out on their own, Washington DC-based DJs and producers Ali "Dubfire" Shirazinia and Sharam Tayebi had already established themselves as ace remixers for everyone from De'Lacy to the Rolling Stones. Here, the Iranian-American house team known as Deep Dish shows it is just as adept at building original dance tracks as it is at giving new life to tedious pop stars. Junk Science gets rolling with a propulsive Everything but the Girl collaboration called "The Future of the Future (Stay Gold)," which matches Tracey Thorn's angelic voice with the duo's restless beats. But things really take off as Deep Dish further unravel their exploratory rhythms and exhilarating electronic sweeps. Cinematic effects add tension and sensuality to tracks like "My Only Sin" and "Persepolis," while the group stays in touch with its more carnal side with pumping cuts like "Chocolate City (Love Songs)" and "Stranded," one of 1997's most revelatory club hits. --Aidin Vaziri

Deep Dish. Superstars of the Dance world. Remixing everyone from Justin Timberlake to Madonna, stopping off to pick up a grammy for remixing Dido, with enough time to knock out a stonking 4 CD mix for Global Underground. What about their OWN stuff though? Well a few years back, just as Deep Dish were beginning to hit big with their now legendary remix of De'Lacy's Hideaway and club fave Stay Gold, this, their only artist album was released. Released just before Deep Dish's sound changed into the big room progressive house sound that you hear now, its a perfect summary of the pre-Yoshiesque Deep Dish era of electronic US House. The ambient intro, Morning Wood, uses a small snippet of the guitar from Stranded, echoed with a gentle sax solo over the top of it. This gives way to the updated version of Stay Gold, Future Of The Future, featuring the talents of Everything But The Girl. A club classic made even better by the vocal talents of Tracey Thorn. An epic 9 minute tune that spans several moods, the light synths of the first half give way to the banging percussion and bass of the second half. Great. And you're only 2 tracks in! Summer's Over manages to capture that exact move, banging drums, melacholic synths, ticking percussion, oozes mood. Mohammed Is Jesus features their mix engineer Richard Morel on vocals, not your usual dance vocals, more indie-ish, gritty. A good vibe track set to jazzy keys. Stranded is, as Deep Dish described themselves, Country and Western House (!). Guitars, Richard Morel once again and shuffling Deep Dish beats, its a wicked track, nice and bouncy. Junk Science breaks things up, being a 4 minute track of swirling ambience, which then leads to the track Sushi. Sushi is one of my faves, I think its the punchy percussion programming (those echoing claps) and the stabbing bass and synths ... all carrying a distinct Eastern flavour to it. My Only Sin is a dark dubby track featuring Richard Morel again, the tempo is lower, the track menacing, you could describe it as Deep Dish goes Massive Attack. Monsoon comes next, changing the mood completely, you don't know what to expect, the ambient mood of the beginning leads you into a false sense of security before firing drum and bass beats and bass slam into the track. It then melts away into the Eastern ambience of Persepolis.
We then get 3 'bonus' tracks, a few Deep Dish tracks that came out on Tribal Records that were limited and quite hard to get hold of at the time and a nice instrumental of Mohammed Is Jesus. Swingy, jazzy house music. If you've heard Penetrate Deeper, you should know what to expect. You don't often get good house albums, and this is one of them. I think its the fact that its not restricted to pure 4/4 grooves all the way through, also because Deep Dish are the masters of the electric groove. What would be nice if Deep Dish got round to following this up, showcasing their production skills of NOW. If this is your first excursion into world of Deep Dish, perhaps you should go check out the classic compilation Yoshiesque ... just so you can fully appreciate their progression of sound. If you're of the school of Global Underground compilations, you should get this since it contains what is now a rare commodity, their own productions! Come on now, we're due Junk Science 2!

Timeless! If this cd were a movie it would have to be called Blade Runner. Always sharp, on the edge, and it never gets old. With every listen you realize how futuristic and ahead of it's time this CD really is. Stranded and Mohammed is Jesus are clear inspirations behind 'Ubik' by Timo Maas and 'Rise' by Steve lawler (both of which Ali and Sharam are playing in their sets), while Summer's Over and Sushi remind you of the lush summer days. Exciting, soulful and never boring. Brilliant! We need more albums like this.

Many albums are acclamed as being the best house albums of all time and I think this album should stand up their as one of the best.
This album surfaced a couple of years after Deep Dish emerged onto the scene with remixes of 'Delacy - Hideaway' and 'Sandy B - Make The World Go Round'.
The album is one of my favourits and is packed with excellent tracks from start to finish.
My favourit tracks from this album are 'Mohamed Is Jesus'(dub and vocal) 'Wear The Hat' and possibly one of the best house tracks of all time 'The Future Of The Future (Stay Gold)'.
With exception to the opening track and tracks 7 and 8, Deep Dish always manage to keep the beats heavy, yet uplifting and funky.
Deep dish seem to have gone a bit off the boil since this release, but if you know the Deep Dish sound this is Deep Dish through and through. A must have for any funky houser!
