Advantages: The 6 number 1 records Disadvantages: The rest of the tracks are rubbish
. Finally after 7 tracks we get something from the 70's! From 1974 it was #3 in the UK but only #4 in the US R&B Charts despite being classed as a soul song, so yes it was a hit but no it wasn't disco.
8. Going Back To My Roots - Odyssey. From 1981 and it was more popular in the UK than anywhere else as it was #4, its best in America was #55 on the US Dance Charts. What you might not know (and I certainly didn't until today) was theirs was a cover version of Lamont Doziers 1977 funk original. Oh and his version is better than theirs.
9. So Many Men So Little Time - Miquel Brown. From 1983 and produced by Ian Levine, the same guy who wrote and produced High Energy. This track was actually the 1st creation in the HI-NRG club music genre made in an attempt to prove disco wasn't dead. According to Ian Levines Youtube entry it was #1 pop in ...
Advantages: Fantastic music Disadvantages: Not a single one
s. Slowly, dreamy "echoing" thoughtful vocals, counterpoised with eastern influenced guitars, played in a languid style that admirably emphasises the vocals.
Track four, Keep Your Mind Open, by Kaleidoscope, starts off with the almost obligatory eastern influence, which then slides into vocals that seem to owe much to traditional English folk styles, backed by the music. Odd though it seems this, together with the sound of crashing waves, works with the very well as a satisfying musical whole.
Track five, Broken arrow, By Buffalo Springfield is not so much psychedelic at the beginning, but pure hard rock, which then segues (clumsily) into something that sounds (with its piano playing) like it could have been sung by Billy Joel or perhaps Neil Young.
Track six, Evening of Light, is by Nico. Wow. What is this song? Influenced by ...
Advantages: Great music from the flower power era Disadvantages: One (or maybe two) songs don't really belong on it
I had not heard for many years. The Strawberry Alarm Clock and Incense and Peppermint. (The title of this song was later used in a song by Blondie.) This is an amazing song, with urgent, swirling sounds and swirling ideas. "Who cares what games we choose? Everything to win, nothing to lose."
Track 3 The Lemon Pipers, Green Tambourine. "Help a poor man build a pretty dream." They don't write them like that anymore! Nifty bit of sitar-style music and tambourine, which sounds very good in stereo.
Track 4 Pictures of Matchstick Men, by Status Quo. What the hell happened to Status Quo? From primo psychedelic band to? oh, well, never mind! "Pictures of Matchstick Men and you" and of what might have been.
Track 5 A Dream Within a Dream by Spirit. Piano, muted guitars and ethereal lyrics, vocalised in a curiously old fashioned but ...
