- A minimal masterpiece is reissued in all its loopy glory, with a Theo Parrish remix.
- "Open Door" is where American and European minimal met. Now reissued by Running Back, Losoul's debut EP—originally released on Playhouse in 1996, but then licensed by Daniel Bell's Elevate label—took the soul of the American variant and fused it onto the elongated structure of an inchoate European sound. The track still sounds as fresh now as it did then, building without dropping as Losoul locks into an endless summer disco groove complete with bongos and strings. What makes this reissue even more vital is the fact that Running Back here collects the various B-sides that have accompanied the track over the years, including Theo Parrish's take, which lands somewhere between his signature deep house and the squiggly goofiness of Perlon records.
