Profile: Is there any dance genre better than Disco?
I say the closer to the source, to better the quality. Dance music started with Disco, and there isn't any other dance music genre who can deliver to same energy, vibe, complicity, & artistic freedom, in other words Quality as Disco can.
In the first place, I'm a collector. My girlfriend stated I'm obsessed with it, but I don't mind. There is so much to DISCOver out there. I spin as well.
My main goal is to preach the word of the Disco Lord to all of you! :)
Too much of a good thing is wonderful!
Don't get caught not doing what you gotta do!

Amadeo - Moving Like A Superstar - 24-Mar-08 06:44 AM
Jack Donder & Jean-Luc Drion, an electic duo, also responsible for the 'Fabulous' Chocolat's, the only Belgian group to ever have a release on the world-known Salsoul Record label, now getting together in an era where Disco ruled, in order to create one of my alltime favourites.
The main title 'Moving Like A Superstar' is great, but my full admiration definitely goes to the B side '33rd Floor'.
'33rd Floor' is in my opinion the best proof that sophistaced orchestral strings, Euro-Kitsch and soulful sensual female vocals can be combined perfectly. That one sentence (Hello, darling, I invited you for a screw-driver on Champs Elysées), makes me go wild every single time. If someone can comprehend what the female choir is singing, I'll be more than happy to know. Nevertheless that chorus is true magic. The rhythm within the vocals works tremendously with the groove.
'Moving Like A Superstar' has so much variation, a wonderful break with strings, and a climax which was to copied so many times 10 years later, this record is House anthem avant-la-lettre.
And what to say about the cover? Looking into the females' eyes, you can only tell this record takes you on an endless journey.
The greatest thing about this record is that it's timeliss. You never get bored and it fits perfectly in a today's Dance mix.
12 points to Belgium!!!
Million Dollar Orchestra, The* - Better Days - 18-Mar-08 12:35 PM
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!
