Reviews of House, R&B, Soul & Rap »

Mostly from the 80s, not many hits & almost no disco tracks

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 ...
...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. So whats on this album then? 1. High Energy - Evelyn Thomas. This was #1 in a few places in 1984 but can't really be classed as disco even though its origins are rooted there. The track name did spawn a new musical ...

Some funky classic dance for you

Advantages: fantastic clubbing songs, funky and poppy
Disadvantages: few cheesy ones

Recieved this cd as a gift a few years ago and i still have it in the car, pumping all the great dance tunes through the speakers. I am usually into my harder house music but this cd is excellent with a very funky feel to it. There are of course some songs i don't like on it but you can't please everyone and thats what the skip button is for on a cd player. The majority of the tracks are good and even now when you are out on the town you will hear ...

No Frogs Here

Advantages: Superlative dance music classic
Disadvantages: One or two slightly weaker tracks

There have been so many dance acts over the last ten years, I find it hard to remember any of them. In fact, dance music is so risible nowadays, clubs like Ministry and the Ibiza super-clubs must have a hard time filling their dancefloors. I mean who's going to be dancing to that damn-awful stupid frog song? Please tell me it's not you … Anyway, there have been or two notable exceptions, and Faithless, with their infectious brand of catchy riffs, ...
...have released consistently good tunes. So when I saw the advert's for this CD, I knew I had to have it. Father's day arrives and my lovely daughter buys it for me. Woo hoo. A little background … Faithless consists of three main protagonists; Sister Bliss, Maxi Jazz and Rollo. Cool names huh? Sis' provides all the keyboards while Maxi brings along his unique lyrical and rap style and Rollo writes and produces. Sister Bliss is a well known DJ on ...

Stone me, this is good.

Advantages: Best British soul offering for some time.
Disadvantages: Not everones taste.

The Soul Sessions was Joss Stone's debut album. Released in 2003 when Joss was only just 17 years old. Incredible in itself for such a mature debut at such an early age, what seems even more stunning to me was that this soul inspired album is by a British artiste. I am having so much fun converting my CD's to itunes, listening to albums that have been neglected. The artwork both on the cover of the CD case and on the CD itself is pretty retro, ...
...the respected publication 'Mojo': "The soul sessions is a revelation". Many of the songs are not her own, being penned in the sixties by artistses such as Betty Wright, who agreed to work with Joss on this CD, another shock to me, American soul legends collaborating with a 16 year old English girl, wow, they must have seen her talent. Track 1. The Chokin' kind. What a fantastic opening track. Very slow, full of heart and soul, a little 'bluesy'. ...
