Once there was Disco, and on the other side of the ocean there was Al Kent. That's all there's to it.
All of us Disco-lovers need to bow down to the fabulous Al Kent, if not alone for his tremendous edits. But no, Mr. Kent realised what nobody thought was possible; creating a Disco band and releasing a magnificient artistic Disco masterpiece anno 2008. The amount of time, energy and money that was required for this project needs endless admiration. Thanks a million.
Each and every track keeps its authenticity, but still you can hear it is a 2008 production, including all features of a great 'Edit'. This really is a 21st century Disco Album.
The opening track has to be my favourite. The variation in that one simple line 'Dontcha Wanna... Get Down Get Down', got me hooked from the very start. This is Disco at its best. The second track continues the groove and the catchy 'Ooh' in between 'Get It Boy' is sophistaced Kitsch in my opinion. The third track includes a break of which not even Larry or Tom couldn't have dreamt. At first I thought it was the beginning of the next track, and then those heavenly violins start kicking in again. One of the albums climaxes. I can go on and on, but Discogs suggests reviews to be rather short. This records scores a 6 out 5!
Al, we will be looking out for a Tour and hopefully a second album. Many thanks!
