Disco Discharge – Disco Exotica

CD (Item 606008) Harmless (UK), Late 70s/Early 80s — Condition: New Copy

Wonderful grooves from the glory days of disco – and a collection of tracks that show some great European contributions to the scene! The "exotica" in the title should be taken here as a way of referring to disco from farther-flung sources than New York, Philly, or Miami – as some of these cuts have overseas origins, but stood neck and neck with the best American sounds of the time – often heavy on keyboards and tightly-crafted rhythms – and essential to the shift the music took as the 80s approached! As with other entries in this great series, there's 2CDs worth of music here – much of it in special mixes as well – with cuts that include "In A Gadda Da Vida" by Disco Circus, "Dancin Machine" by Who's Who, "Madman's Discotheque" by The Chaplin Band, "Lay Your Love On The Line (12" mix)" by Pussyfoot, "Soft Emotion" by Azoto, "I'll Be Standing Beside You" by Passengers, "Sentimentally It's You (12" mix)" by Theo Vaness, "Don't Say Goodnight To A Lady Of Spain (7" mix)" by Jeanette, "Dirty Talk (European connection)" by "Klein & MBO, "Extraterrestrial Lover (inst 12" mix)" by Sylvia Love, and "The House Of The Rising Sun" by Hot RS.  © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc.
