Carl Bias and Jesse Jones - aka Master C & J - were two of the architects of Chicago’s House music scene in the mid-’80s. Their muse, singer Liz Torres, was the house madam. Torres’ vocals were instinctual, not the mannered warbling of today’s porcelain diva - the kind that keeps a safe distance from the crowd. Torres worked up a sweat, both in the studio and onstage, often prowling the stage like cat at Sound Factory or The Paradise Garage. Her vocals were crazy and unpredictable; the music was dark, sinewy. As a unique collaboration, this trio’s limited output - collected here - gave way to the possibilities of the night. Dated and nostaglic now, Can’t Get Enough is more than a lost curio or timewarped artifact, it’s a major footnote in the story of how dance music has evolved.
