2010 release. Despite being a major part of house music's history, club life, rave experiences, cat walk jobs in the fashion industry, and over hundred co-operations with producers and a dozen labels, Robert Owens remains a moderate, down to earth person. After the 2008 released album Night-Time Stories on Compost, which featured eleven new tracks by eleven different producers, this time he teamed up with four producers over 19 songs, to get a stronger, homogeneous album in various moods and tempi. Alongside his old time friend and house pioneer Larry Heard (Fingers Inc), Atjazz, Beanfield and Show-B, all approved and respected producers for working with vocals, able to slow it down or keeping the emotional house vibe at attested BPM's. Art offering not only more songs, but also it offers more variety. The first disc, Vault 1, contains the down- to midtempi more reflective tunes, while Vault 2 moves through Robert's house history in the old and new school vein.
