I got probably one of the best hook-ups of my life in scoring this for $8 (thanks again, Bryan). I'm planning on taping it for my sister who doesn't like house music. As far as other stuff that sounds like it...there's a fair bit of Detroit house that'd probably get you open. Check out stuff on KDJ, Elevate, and especially Sound Signature. It's generally slower in tempo than the Herbert album (which is actually pretty damn quick for "house" music), but has sort of the same feeling. I'd rank the first Sound Signature record in the same class, as well as others on the labels I mentioned.
