Review by La_Honay Oct 20, 2009

The 1980 film 'Cruising' has become an underground cult legend for a variety of reasons. Just as important, it is considered a time capsule/ snapshot of urban, gay life pre-AIDS. Discogs, not being a film critique site, I'll let you all do your own research.

See the film. Be amazed by the Soundtrack, and ask yourself WTF was that? Some serious dance floor stomping here, most notable being Mutiny and their left field "Disco not Disco" opus "Lump". Mutiny being a disgruntled splinter of the George Clinton/ Parliament camp. Also featured, several raw and dirty cuts by proto punks The Germs.

What it is NOT: flourishing, feverish, disco epics that have come to stereotype gay musical tastes.

No, the music here is dark, dirty and seedy.

Extremely rare, hard to find. Good luck.
