Sophisticated Boom Boom

CD-Charts > Music > Disco
by: Dead Or Alive

Release Date September 17, 2007
OK! i am reviewing here the original album which came with 10 tracks, which was mighty fine, when it finally got a release after Thats The Way reached Top 20, as weird as Pete Burns is, in my humble opinion he has not made a dull album too date. The beats are totally mind boggling at times and leave fans gasping for more. The best track here by a mile is Misty Circles, closely followed by Wish You Were Here, and Sit On It (which says it all :)), you'd be forgiven near the end of this cd if you think you are listening to Morrissey, because Far Too Hard, sounds just like The Smiths, a really good album, most worth checking out.

Magnum Opus Vol.1

CD-Charts > Music > Disco
by: Various Artists

Release Date February 05, 2001
Quite simply as good as it gets. You could literally walk into any R&B/dance/funky house etc, etc, club in the world, put this on and get away without a DJ for a couple of hours. The version of 'The Crown', with Stevie Wonder laying on a few guest vocals, is 10 minutes of heaven. Buy it!

The Sessions Vol.8: Mixed By Todd Terry

CD-Charts > Music > Disco
by: Todd Terry

Release Date July 07, 1997
1997? Could be 2001! Its only Ultra Nate's "Free" which shows the age of this mix, which is no great shame as it is still a great tune anyway. All the better for not hearing it for so long. Its no surprise that Todd Terry is known as "Todd the God", his mix is faultless, but lets get away from the nerdy technical side. Its the music that makes the DJ, not ability. And this collection is excellent. This stands out because it hasn't dated or aged. It could be a new collection out this week. This is a great CD which lends itself to listening to again and again. Yet equally at home turned up loud, while getting ready for the weekend. This is smooth, US house. Wicked vocals, funky dubs and bouncy beats. Buy it. Highly recommended.

Oceans of Fantasy

CD-Charts > Music > Disco
by: Boney M

Release Date April 30, 2007
I have been a Boney M. fan since 1978, when I was 18. Now, in 2008, aged 48, I still love 'em - in their original line-up, that is! It's great that so many of their re-issued albums are now available here at Amazon, and I have already re-stocked my shelves with some new CDs.

However, concerning this Album, the 1979 release 'Oceans of Fantasy', I just have the following words to say...

In my view, it's an okay album, but certainly not as inspiring or foot-tapping as the 1978 classic, 'Nightflight To Venus'. I am, however, re-discovering its charms now on CD, and all that camp kitchness is enveloping me once more. Now, where did I put my sequin-encrusted diving suit...?!

But, I have to say that this album contains ... Read More:

White Gold: the Very Best of Barry White

CD-Charts > Music > Disco
by: Barry White

Release Date November 07, 2005
The thirty tracks here (fifteen on each CD) present all the best songs by Barry White in no particular order.

Barry had been involved in the music business for several years, usually working in the background, before finally making the big time. His first success came via the Love Unlimited hit in 1972, Walking in the rain with the one I love. This paved the way for a series of solo recordings that yielded several major international hits.

After a promising start in 1973 with I'm gonna love you just a little bit more baby and Never never gonna give you up, Barry had his best years in 1974 and 1975. Can't get enough of your love babe, You're the first the last my everything (his only UK number one hit), What am I gonna ... Read More:

The Best of the Bee Gees Vol.1

CD-Charts > Music > Disco
by: Bee Gees

Release Date March 01, 1987
My parents have the original LP which i played many a time from the late 60s, so i was pleasantly suprised to see this exact picture for the CD taken from the original cover LP - brings back loads of memories. Definitely worth buying as it contains some pre 'Saturday Night Fever' Bee Gee hits that people of a younger generation may not recall.

Motown Chartbusters Volume 12

CD-Charts > Music > Disco
by: Various Artists

Release Date August 09, 2000
By the beginning of the eighties, Motown's glory days were long past, yet they were still able to score some big hits. Unfortunately for Motown, there were many more misses and minor hits than big hits as this compilation shows.

Being with you (Smokey Robinson) and One day in your life (Michael Jackson) both made number one in the UK, while Endless love (Diana Ross and Lionel Richie) made number one in America and also made the top ten in the UK. I'm coming out (Diana Ross) made the UK top twenty, but the remaining tracks made little, if any, impact in the UK charts.

Of course, just because they weren't big hits doesn't make them bad records - indeed, many of them are excellent. It's always good to hear the Commodores, Syreeta and Teena Marie, ... Read More:
