After the sensational delicious exercise in deep house with Alton Miller’s release “Full Circle” on Yore-008, Alton returns with the equally stunning four-tracker Late Night Fantasy on our 11th release. The Old-school veteran from Detroit keeps the overall warm sound of the earlier release present, but on this downplays the Latin dimension slightly and consequently the focus on beatific, mid-tempo grooves intensifies. He stokes an oh-so-deep vibe through the silken funk of “Be Black Baby” while a voice softly enquires “Who’s blacker than you are? / Who’s blacker than she is?” “Don’t Look Back” serves up a tight club groove whose jazz-house swing Miller spikes with Rhodes accents and analog synth melodies, while a vocal chorus ups the soul ante during the marching strut of “Who Am I,” a beautiful example of timeless house music if there ever was one. In “Futuristic Funk,” a looped voice incessantly repeats “Too late now,” thereby adding a touch of delirium to the tune’s stomping swing, after which the vocal line expands into the chanted “Pray for brighter days / Too late now / Lose myself in the future / Too late now.” Warmed by old-school synth flourishes, congas, and Rhodes melodies, Miller’s rich and seductive club music makes surrender the only possible proposition and a release so rarely deep and musical, which is therefore not to be missed.
