dunno, just struck me as a LES/italo joint. normally they are more campy than good. but dont get me wrong, i really like this.

dude i said 'serious q' cuz i'm curious! i get it when yr talking about shit like arthur russell ("you say not only does he do avant-garde art disco but he's white too??") or, like, ESG ('rock band!') but i don't see how this is more white belt than, like, any moroder or whatever

im trying to give you a serious answer man!

its the campy, retrofuturistic delorean vibe that seems or at least was a fade. not sure how else to put it.

and just to clarify, i dont think loose joints is fade-y. that is just good music.

try to differentiate between the 8ball string washed post hustle taint slippers and the speedball pre-house razor re-edits. somewhere between Moroder and Tee Scott. also watch out for dudes who can rap for 25 minutes.

thumbs up for the prelude/salsoul/larry levan stuff, and dang i know that "got to be real", "dazz", etc are genius pop/soul songs, but really, ENOUGH!!! i hear these and think geez is that the best you could do? the word stale comes to mind...

change - lovers holiday
gwen guthrie - peanut butter
first choice - love thang (tee scott mix)

There are a couple of big disco dealers on eBay who post soundfiles. That's one way to get some ideas.
