Rough Diamond (with bonus tracks)
CD (Item 581359) Warner/Gold Legion, 1978 — Condition: New Copy
Hard to believe that anyone would call Madleen Kane a rough diamond – especially with her polished look on the cover, and an equally polished set of grooves underneath! The album features arrangements from the team of Tony Lester and Thor Baldurson – and you can definitely hear Baldurson's classic disco groove firmly in place – pushing things forward with a really compact sense of rhythm at the bottom, one that almost points the way towards 80s sounds, but still with plenty of 70s club warmth – and a brace of strings and other sweet instrument over the top! With a setting like this, you could drop in just about any singer and get a great disco album – but nicely, Madleen manages to bring a little "something extra" to her performance to really send the whole thing home with her sexy vocal approach. Titles include "Let's Make Love", "C'Est Si Bon/That's The Way I Love You", "Fever/Make Me Like It", "Touch My Heart", and "Rough Diamond". CD features 3 bonus tracks – "Rough Diamond (12" version)", "Rough Diamond (short version)", and "C'Est Si Bon (short version)". © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. | |||||
