Advantages: The 6 number 1 records Disadvantages: The rest of the tracks are rubbish
Well the title itself is a misnomer for starters as the disco era was a fairly short period during the mid 1970's as disco was ousted from the music scene by Punk and the 80's were ruled by 2 Tone Ska then the New Romantics and synth music at least as far as the UK went any way.
Disco may have lived on into the 80's in America but it was replaced by electro, hip hop then rap followed by House music. Wikipedia even openly admits that disco died in 1979 but also states "the genre continued to be popular elsewhere during the 1980s", probably in less fashionable countries that hadn't adopted whatever was popular from England or America by then. Take it from someone who lived through all 3 decades, disco was dead and gone by the 1980's.

I would recommend this to anyone, young people and older people. Anyone who likes 70's music. The variety of music on this CD is much more than any other disco CD I have seen. This is the type of CD that you can put on in your car while driving to work and it will cheer up your day or get you in the mood for a party. The album is full of oldies but goodies, that make you want to sing and dance.

I'm amazed that no-one has written a review on this CD yet....and as you can probably guess.......I love Hed Kandi it really is music you can listen to anytime and anywhere.
The Twisted Disco series of releases (as I said in my previous Hed Kandi review) are easily my favourites as I prefer my house music to be a little like me........deep, bangin, dirty and rough around the edges!! ha
What you get with this CD is pretty much in the title "Twisted Disco", what they do is take some well known, and some not-so well known dance tracks or vocal remixes, strip them down, take off the shiney edges and drop in a dirty beat.
The track of the CD for me is number 10 on CD 1. It is a remix of the Eric Prydz Vs Pink Floyd hit "Proper Education". The track has been mixed by a guy called Sebastian Ingrosso.
The CD also includes a cool ...
