Come Into My Heart/USA European Connection – Disco Recharge (with bonus tracks)

$16.99 ... CD 2 CDs (€12.52 || £10.71 || ¥1594) (approx.)

Two full albums, and a heck of a lot of bonus tracks too! First up is the first album in Boris Midney's USA-European Connection – and virtually a one man disco symphony in itself! The whole album comes off as one long extended track – even though the variations are given title differences, yet still have the full feel that comes from Midney's creative approach to the grooves in the studio! Core rhythms pulsate strongly, while piano, keyboards, strings and other instrumental bits each make their appearance – including some conga rhythms that really help warm up the bottom – and occasional chorus vocals to drive the hooks home. Titles include "Come Into My Heart", "Good Loving", "Love's Coming", and "Baby Love" – but as we say, it's really a lot more like one long track! The self-titled second set, USA-European Connection, is filled with soaring disco grooves from the legendary Boris Midney – a set that was virtually built by Midney from the ground up – layering instruments over a funky club beat, then forming the grooves into songs in the process! The result is superb studio work from the height of the disco generation – a great illustration of the way that Boris used the studio as musicians might use an instrument – both to create and compose, always with an eye on the end result that would be pressed up on record! Tracks are long, and virtually work together as one extended number – and titles include "I'd Like To Get Closer", "Do Me Good", "Join The Dance", and "There's A Way Into My Heart". CD features 8 bonus tracks – including "Come Into My Heart/Good Loving (orig 12" mix)", "Love's Coming/Baby Love (orig 12" mix)", "I'd Like To Get Closer/Do Me Good (orig 12" mix)", and "There's A Way Into My Heart (orig 12" mix)".  © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc.
