One of the greatest records of the early Chicago house scene sees an official re-issue on the newly relaunched Trax label. This is one of those records that it's sort of pointless to pontificate on, but I got a big mouth and record-nerd ego to match, so here goes. Possessed of one of the fattest, juiciest 303 basslines ever, "No Way Back(1)" is a true masterpiece of jackin' Chicago minimalism, and it's been a DJ favorite since the original release in 1986. Its paranoid funk, replete with lyrics like "too far gone/I've lost control," captures the sweaty, late-night warehouse vibe of the Chicago sound perfectly, and needless to say, "No Way Back" murders the dancefloor to this day. An absolutely essential track that begs for a home in your crate if you ain't got it. Includes vocal, instrumental and the two part "The Advent's No Return."
