Beauty and The Beast also works perfectly well 1-2% slower, imo. More relaxed yet not sluggish.
|
|
How Much I Love You features an incredibly catchy theme, played by the guitar, which extends in 3-bar phrases over a 12-bar refrain. The shortened phrases and high song tempo (~126 BPM) give the song jump, because the next part of the melody is always...

I'll bet at least some of the 55 people who own this record have the transparent green pressing. You have to hold it up to the light. Check your copy!

I imagine it was the label connection. Both tracks were Rising High releases and included on Secret Life of Trance V, which shares a number of tracks with this compilation.

Aria is covered by Herbie Mann on Bird In A Silver Cage (1977).
|
|
The title cut is a builder, not a tool, so play with the intro for full effect. Jeff Mills' Utopia is tastefully interpolated just before the drop out of the intro.
|
|
The main piano hook on Comfycozy appears to be from Viola Wills - Dare to Dream (London Remix). I'm a big fan of both songs. More than just a sample, it's a rich little gem of a fragment and Vibert has built a great track around it.

Very nice, relaxing record for weekend afternoons. Easy listening in the best sense. You can alternate between the Ballads and Rhythms discs according to your mood.

Fun fact: the upload page on Mixcloud features a photo of a DJ holding the album jacket. https://www.mixcloud.com/upload/

The cover images are part of the mural at Electric Lady Studios created by Lance Jost (as credited), which, according to Laurice Daniels, is where The Disco Spaceship was recorded. http://www.lancejostdesigns.com/electric-lady-studios/

The stylized box logo is a pretty close spoof of the logo for the Acid Jazz record label. It would be interesting to know if the name itself was part of the joke.
|
|
A lively, driving house record with nice hooks and feel good vibes. Some tech elements. Not really Euro or Progressive, but what do I know? Orlando Voorn mix is dope, of course.

The Waterloo Region Record published an interview with Dave Mitchell (May 1, 2021, p. C1), which is available online, though behind a paywall....

This gets a "recommended" mention in Aletti's Disco File column of March 13, 1976, but it's incorrectly attributed to Phyllis Hyman there. (Took me a moment to figure that out.)

The image on the generic label jacket for this release (and others, like PLAY122) is the same as the image on the cover of the Gravest Hits EP by The Cramps. https://www.discogs.com/The-Cramps-Gravest-Hits/master/53329

Walls of Jericho sounds great at 33 1/3, as a kind of low-slung, 110-bpm acid jam.
|
|
This wonderful remix is a purely instrumental version and quite a bit slower than the original 12" mix (~120 vs. ~128 BPM), which makes the orchestral swells before it drops into the bass and drum breaks just a little more epic. The drums in the...

The other possibility is that the versions sound exactly as the artists intended them to be: unadorned.
|
|
This is a really fun, feel-good record with a good swingin' bassline! Original mix is my favourite.
|
|
The image for this release appears to be a view of the waterfront side of the warehouse at 480 Van Brunt Street in Red Hook, Brooklyn.

|
Does anyone else think Can't Fake was cut a little too hot on this one? I hear some of the clap hits clipping or distorting, especially in the break, when compared to the mastering of the song on the Uniwave LP.
|
|
This is a very enjoyable EP. A kind of warm, quirky, funky, chunky IDM with lovely melodies, basslines, drums, pads, and so on. Every track stands on its own, including the remixes from artists on the Clear label, which complement nicely, but each do...

This artist photo is *hilarious*! Stifling a yawn at a mammoth Mayday rave -- "Ho hum." Intentional or not, it says a lot.
|
|
Yes, I hear what you mean. It starts at about 118 bpm, then drifts between 121 and 123 for the most part and speeds up closer to 125 at the end (beware mixing out on this one, for sure!). The pitch (or tonality) does not change (to my ears), so I...

So beautiful! Gwen glows in her upper range. "Sugar in the morning!"
|
|
Perhaps they should have called it Cheatah. Cool cover tho.
|
|
"Who Killed Captain Alex?" sounds like it might sample the opening chord of "Walking in Rhythm" by the Blackbyrds.
|
|
"May you can" is the one for me. Nice bassline, sweeping synth chord progression in the background, weird flanged percussion, jittery keyboard solo, female vocal chant.
|
|
On the LP, Dance All Night is approximately 9:30, Disco City about 9:20, and Feeling of Love about 7:40. The remixes on the 12" single have added/stronger percussion elements (e.g., hand drums). So, Disco City was extended and became the A side, while...

The A side makes a nice, chill, last-track-of-the-night crowd disperser.
|
|
Apparently the digital release does not include all the tracks found on the other formats. Substitutions have been made. A comment on Amazon said this is due to licensing issues.
|
|
The text layout on the labels is different in this case.
|
|
The spoken word segments at the beginnings of "Almond" and "Apricot", as well as the vocal sample used in those tracks and in "Yellow" sound like they are taken from the beginning of "Strange Dreams – Strange Worlds – Black Myth" on the album "Sun Ra...

A light E2-E4-esque feel on Larry's Remix, especially with the guitar. More organ to begin Larry's Dub, with trippy filters and mallets to close. Nice swells on both.
|
|
This is a really enjoyable album of solid tracks in the classic Fowlkes style. It appears that it was never released on vinyl. I wonder why? Would it be better known if it had been?
|
|
Interesting to note that the sunset background graphic appears to be the same image used on many LARC Records releases, a west coast label.
|
|
There are not many labels that you could legitimately describe as «all killer, no filler», but this label dares you to say otherwise. Wow! Diverse but dialed in.
|
|
I just acquired a copy like this. “50114-A Love & Happiness” in the runout groove on the A side. i’ll enter it later.

First Shot is such a great instrumental tune. Led by a strong bassline, a nice sticky beat, woodblock, and rhythm guitar, the main minor key vamp section shifts into a sunny, major key sequence that builds all the way back to start of the vamp. The...

Bought this back in the day and it still sounds great today. The album shows a lot of imagination in its rhythms, bass hooks, inventive quirks, and little moments, as you would expect from the Sativae/Mosquito camp, while still maintaining a moody,...

I have two copies of this release. On one copy, which seems to be pressed on thicker vinyl than the other, track A2 is garbled with distortion starting halfway through. Whether the bad copy is a fluke or from a flawed pressing, I don't know. The...

The Glow is an instrumental edit of The Glow of Love by Change. http://www.discogs.com/Change-The-Glow-Of-Love/master/241227

Trust City uses a sample from Suspicious, by Ten City, possibly the dub mix. In that song, the words of the chorus are "oh, trust in me, oh, I trust in you." http://www.discogs.com/Ten-City-Suspicious/master/169500

Or the looped word may be "sensuality", minus the "s" and the "-ty"
