I Created Disco - Calvin Harris

I recently received the new Calvin Harris record as i purchased it from an internet auction site (ebay). The album came exactly as stated and is basically an early release of the album. Calvin Harris offers a fresh new style to dance music and some have compared his music to the likes of Mylo or even Groove Armada.

I recently received the new Calvin Harris record as i purchased it from an internet auction site (ebay). The album came exactly as stated and is basically an early release of the album. Calvin Harris offers a fresh new style to dance music and some have compared his music to the likes of Mylo or even Groove Armada. However, with added synthesizers and simple lyrics the songs immediately become dance anthems.

With the good success of the first single acceptable in the 80s, Calvin became a recognized artist and producer. With The Girls reaching number 3 in the charts, he has proved he has a firm place at the tp of dance music.

Before buying the album, i expected it t be full of the same style of music. However, i was proven wrong as it does contain a perfect mixture of classic tunes.

The album opens with style and straight away we are posed with a dance floor anthem....

1) Merrymaking at my place - With a great bass line, the song immediately gets you out your seat to dance. This song is already doing well in clubs and from what i hear is the next single to be released. If this proves to be right, a top 10 position is inevitable.

2) Colours - Again colours starts with another stonker bass line and the repetitive and catchy lyrics gains our attention. Undoubtedly a sing-a-long will soon come.

3) This is the industry - This song has been on Harris' myspace before and has received mixed reactions from many people. I personally don't rate it much as its not got much appeal. Definitely not a dance floor classic...

4) The girls - Undoubtedly one of the best songs on the album as it provides a heavy bass line and dance beat to make us move. So far its his most successful but im sure this wont be the case in the future.

5) Acceptable in the 80s - At first this song wasn't hugely appealing to me, but the more it got played, the more it grew on me. With it beginning to appear on adverts and tv programs more often its very unlikely that people wont recognize it. If you want people to dance at a party, this song would definitely do the trick.

6) Neon Rocks - Heard this song when Harris first came into the mainstream. Since then its been taken off his myspace but possibly this could be due to it being released in the future? Follows the same kind of tune to this is the industry but it offers so much more with its variety of synths and catchy lyrics.

7) Traffic cops - First filler track on the album, only a minute long and is basically and intro to vegas. Not much to say about it other than press the skip button...

8) Vegas - Another brilliant song and its up with the likes of the 80s and the girls. He chooses to play this last in his live sets usually and you can see why. Again he relies on the bass line to carry the song and the lyrics are great but yet when the lyrics are read into can be a little disturbing to those who take it the wrong way. This song could be a huge commercial success in the future.

9) I created disco - Good instrumental tune which every good dance album needs. No propper lyrics are in it however this song will become a cult classic with Calvin's fans alike. All i can say is i love it!

10) Disco Heat - Great song. Lots of synths, probably the most on the album, but its a great song to dance to and drive to. Great summers day song with the car windows down and the sun roof open. Brings back the weekend is near feeling!

11) Vault character - Next filler track on the album, only 8 seconds short. I find it quite good actually as its a good start for the next track certified. Again, most will say its simply not needed.

12) Certified - Not one of the best tracks on the album, however it still has some appeal. Follows the same tune throughout the song and in my opinion it lacks of a good bass line like Calvins other songs. I suppose it does provide a variety to the album however his fans are getting something which isn't what they expected.

13) Love souvenir - Absolute classic. Great song to either listen to when relaxing or when recovering from a hangover on those dreaded Sunday mornings! Its calm feeling will provide a great atmosphere and i can see it being used in tents at festivals in the summer.

14) Electro Man - Last track n the album and i felt slightly disappointed by it. I felt the album should go out in a bang with a great track and Electro Man just doesn't provide this. However others may have a different opinion but im sure most will agree.
